-1)  The BGP and OSFP macros released in Beta 3 contained rules to allow
-    administrative access to the related routing daemons. Those rules
-    have been deleted.

-2)  Previously, if Address Type Match was not available and an
-    interface on the firewall was (mis-)configured as shown below, then
-    REJECT policies in Shorewall-perl would drop packets addressed to
-    the interface rather than reject them.

-    Note that a /32 should never be configured with a broadcast

-3)  Due to a syntax ambiguity arising from the new dynamic zone
-    implementation, 'shorewall show dynamic' produced no output. It now
-    shows the contents of the dynamic blacklist as in earlier 
-    Shorewall releases.
-
-4)  The 'findgw' script produced an error if VERBOSITY > 0.
