Shorewall 4.6.13 RC 1 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected since Beta 2:

1)  Inline matches on IP[6]TABLE rules could be ignored if
    INLINE_MATCHES=No. They are now recognized.

2)  Specifying an action with a logging level in one of the _DEFAULT
    options in shorewall[6].conf (e.g., REJECT_DEFAULT=Reject:info)
    produced a compilation error:

      ERROR: Invalid value (:info) for first Reject parameter
             /usr/share/shorewall/action.Reject (line 52)

    That has been corrected. Note, however, that specifying logging
    with a default action tends to defeat one of the main purposes of
    default actions which is to suppress logging.

New Features since Beta 2:

1)  When the 'update' command is converting a deprecated file, it now
    makes additional checks when it finds a target file (mangle,
    stoppedrules or blrules) to append the converted rules to:

    - If the file is in the directory $SHAREDIR/$product/configfiles/,
      the file is not opened.
    - If the file is in the directory
      $SHAREDIR/doc/$product/default-config/, the file is not opened.
    - If the file is not writable, the file is not opened.

    When the file isn't opened because of one of these checks, an
    attempt is made to create a new file in either the directory
    specified on the command line (if any) or in the first directory
    listed in the CONFIG_PATH setting.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
