Shorewall 5.1.5 is now available for download. Problems Corrected:
1) This release contains defect repair through Shorewall 5.1.4.4.
2) Previously, when 0 was used as a port number or when a port number
> 65535 was specified, an 'uninitialized variable' Perl exception
occurred when the compiler attempted to issue an error
message. That has been corrected.
3) When running with Perl 5.26, messages such at the following could
be issued:
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be
fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE
in m/^(\s*|.*[^&@%]){ <-- HERE (.*)}\s*$/ at
/usr/share/shorewall/Shorewall/Config.pm line 2343.
That problem has been corrected.
New Features:
1) Run-time port variables are now supported. See
http://www.shorewall.org/configuration_file_basics.htm#Port_Variables
for details.
2) The Shorewall and Shorewall6 manpages are now consolidated. Almost
all of the Shorewall6 manpages are manpage aliases for the
corresponding Shorewall manpages which describe the files for both
products.
3) There is now a FIN standard action which handles TCP packets with
the FIN, ACK and PSH flags set.
4) According to the Netfilter team (see
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9198133/), the --nflog-range
option of the NFLOG target has never worked correctly, and they have
deprecated that option in favor of the --nflog-size option. To
accomodate this change, there is now an "--nflog-size support"
(NFLOG_SIZE) Shorewall capability and a USE_NFLOG_SIZE option in
shorewall[6].conf.
For further information, see the Migrations Issues item number 8.
5) The RESTORE_DEFAULT_ROUTE option has now been added to
shorewall6.conf. Prior to this release, RESTORE_DEFAULT_ROUTE=Yes
has always been assumed for Shorewall6 configurations.
Thank you for using Shorewall,
-Tom
