Beta 2 is now available for testing. Problems Corrected since Beta 1:
1) Defect repair from 5.0.8.1 and 5.0.8.1 has been merged.
New Features since Beta 1:
1) The 'status' and 'version -a" command outputs now include the time
and date when the current firewall script was compiled.
This feature implements a new 'info' command that is recognized by
the compiled script. That command produces output similar to the
following:
compiled Thu Apr 28 14:18:58 2016 by Shorewall version 5.0.9
Note 1: The time and date of compilation will only be displayed
after the firewall script has been compiled using 5.0.9 Beta 2 or a
later Shorewall release.
Note 2: Information about the current firewall script is only
displayed by the 'version -a' command when the command is executed
by root.
Caution: If you execute 'shorewall compile', a subsequent 'status'
command will display the compilation information for the newly
compiled script and not for the one that was used to instantiate
the running firewall configuration. Note that the compilation
date/time, in this case, will be later than the started date/time:
Example:
State:Started Sun Apr 24 12:22:18 PDT 2016 from /etc/shorewall/
(/var/lib/shorewall/firewall compiled Thu Apr 28 14:18:58 2016
by Shorewall version 5.0.9)
2) The ?INFO and ?WARNING directives added in Shorewall 5.0.8 include
the current filename and line number in the generated message. That
behavior can be suppressed by using ?INFO! AND ?WARNING!
instead. Additionally, the default behavior can be changed by
setting VERBOSE_MESSAGES=No in shorewall[6].conf. In that case,
including the exclaimation point causes the filename and line
number to be included.
3) NFLOG(...) is now supported in the mangle files.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
