Shorewall 5.1.10 Beta 2 is now available for testing.

New features since Beta 1:

1)  It is now possible to associate a particular protocol with an
    action in shorewall[6]-actions(5). When a protocol is specified in
    that file, it is not necessary to specify the protocol in the PROTO
    column when invoking the action. If a protocol is included in the
    PROTO column then it must match the one specified in the actions
    file. If an action defined with a protocol is used as a Policy
    Action, then only packets with the specified protocol will be
    passed to the action.

    A number of standard actions definitions in
    /usr/share/shorewall[6]/actions.std have had a protocol added.

    The protocol has no effect if 'builtin' or 'inline' is also
    specified; specifying 'builtin' with a protocol results in a
    warning message. No warning is issued when 'inline' is specified
    with a protocol, thus allowing 'inline' and a protocol to appear
    together in actions.std. Note that 'noinline' in
    shorewall-actions(5) can override an 'inline' specification in
    actions.std.

2)  The FIN action previously included the PSH flag (FIN,ACK,PSH). To
    make the action a bit more general, the PSH flag is now removed and
    TCP packets with just the FIN and ACK flags set will now match.

Thank you for testing,

-Tom
