Shorewall 5.0.2 Beta 1 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected:

1)  Previously, if statistical load balancing was used in the providers
    file, the default route in the main table was not deleted during
    firewall start/restart. That route is now correctly deleted.

2)  The MSSQL now allows UDP port 1434 (Tuomo Soini).

New Features:

1)  More version numbers have been removed from configuration files
    and Macros (Tuomo Soini).

2)  The providers file now supports a 'persistent' option. When
    specified, this option removes the need to configure host routes to
    systems used as the 'checkip' in LSM.

    As part of this change, two other configuration have changed:

    a) The 'rtrules' file now allows the rule priority to be followed
       by an exclaimation mark ("!").

    b) An OPTION column has been added to the 'routes' file. The only
       option currently supported is 'persistent'.

    The option affects the routing configuration when the provider is
    disabled:

    - The provider's routing table still exists and contains the
      provider's default route.

    - Unless 'noautosrc' is specified, connections originating from the
      interfaces IP address(es) are routed via the provider's default
      gateway.

    - Routing rules for the provider that specify '!' after the
      priority are left in place.

    - 'persistent' routes for the provider are left in place, allowing
      communication with local networks that are still accessible.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
