Shorewall 5.0.2 Beta 2 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected Since Beta 1:

1)  This release includes defect repair up through Shoreall 5.0.1.1.

2)  A number of issues with param file processing on Cygwin have been
     corrected. The most serious of these issues was introduction of
     syntax errors into the generated firewall script.

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

5)  The check for use of a circular kernel log buffer (as opposed to a
     log file) has been improved.

6)  Previously, HOST=default was accepted by configure[.pl], but the
     generated shorewallrc file was unusable. Now, HOST=default produces
     a usable shorewallrc.

7)  Previously, if a circular log buffer was being used, the output of
     various commands still displayed '/var/log/messages' as the log
     file. Now, it is displayed as 'logread'.

8)  The 'remote-*' commands now return correct exit status.

New Features since Beta 1:

1)  It is now possible to replace any function in the CLI libraries
     except for get_config(). This is accomplished by placing the
     replacement function(s) in a shell library named 'lib.cli-user' in
     a directory on the CONFIG_PATH. This allows for customization of
     commands as well as working around distribution-specific issues.

2)  Support for OpenWRT versions BB and later has been added. As part
     of this support, the log display commands in the -lite products no
     longer depend on the 'tac' utility (although it will be used if it
     is installed).

Thank out for testing,
-Tom
