The Shorewall team is pleased to announce the availability of Shorewall 5.1.12.
Problems Corrected:
1) This release contains defect repair from releases through 5.1.11.2.
2) Many typos in comments in the chains module have been corrected.
3) Dead code was removed.
4) A function that is called only from lib.cli-std had been moved
there from lib.cli.
5) Trailing white space is now omitted from the generated script.
6) Apparently random blank lines in the generated script have been
eliminated.
7) Previously, the output of 'shorewall show capabilties' only
displayed the 'Ipset Match (IPSET_MATCH)' capability if it was
available. Now, it is also displayed when it is not available.
New Features:
1) Beginning with this release, SNAT can be performed on flows
destined for the firewall itself. In this case, SNAT will be
performed in the INPUT chain of the nat table; see
shorewall-snat(5) for details.
This change introduced a new capability:
INPUT chain in the nat table (NAT_INPUT_CHAIN)
2) The undocumented optimize option OPTIMIZE_USE_FIRST (0x1000)
has been removed.
3) Some minor performance enhancements have been make to optimization
category 8.
4) While INLINE_MATCHES=Yes has been documented as deprecated for some
time, it has thus far not generated a warning. Beginning with this
release, a warning is issued:
WARNING: Option INLINE_MATCHES=Yes is deprecated
See the Migration Issues section for additional information.
5) The IPMI macro has been extended to include additional protocols
(Tuomo Soini).
6) Several new macros have been added:
Apcupsd
FreeIPA
Kpasswd
RedisSecure
Rwhois
SSDP
SSDPServer
(Tuomo Soini)
Thank you for using Shorewall,
-Tom
