<para>The 2.6 Linux kernel introduces a new implementation of IPSEC which
|
||||||
|
eliminates the <filename class="devicefile">ipsecN</filename> device

||||||
|
names. Netfilter/iptables support for this new implementation is
|
||||||
|
incomplete and therefore Shorewall support is limited. See the <ulink

stable releases and new minor releases of a stable release will only

contain bug fixes. Installing a new minor release for the major
|
||||||
|
release that you are currently running involves no migration issues
|
||||||
|
(for example, if you are running 1.4.10 and I release 1.4.11, your
|

|
current configuration is 100% compatible with the new release).</para>

<para>Odd numbered major releases (e.g., 2.1, 2.3, ...) are

where new functionality is introduced. Documentation for new features
|

|
will be available but it may not be up to the standards of the stable
|
||||||
|
release documentation. Sites running Development Releases should be
|
||||||
|
prepared to play an active role in testing new features. Bug fixes and
|
||||||
|
problem resolution for the development release take a back seat to
|
||||||
|
support of the stable releases. Problem reports for the current
|
||||||
|
development release should be sent to the <ulink

<para>When the level of functionality of the current development

release is judged adaquate, the <firstterm>Beta period</firstterm> for

a new Stable release will begin. Beta releases have identifications of

the form <emphasis>x.y.0-BetaN</emphasis> where <emphasis>x.y</emphasis>
|
||||||
|
is the number of the next Stable Release and <emphasis>N</emphasis>=1,2,3...
|
||||||
|
. Betas are expected to occur rougly once per year. Beta releases may
|
||||||
|
contain new functionality not present in the previous beta release
|
||||||
|
(e.g., 2.2.0-Beta4 may contain functionality not present in
|
||||||
|
2.2.0-Beta3). When I'm confident that the current Beta release is
|
||||||
|
stable, I will release the first <firstterm>Release Candidate</firstterm>.

Release candidates have identifications of the form
|

<emphasis>x.y.0-RCn</emphasis> where <emphasis>x.y</emphasis> is the

|
number of the next Stable Release and <emphasis>n</emphasis>=1,2,3...
|
||||||
|
. Release candidates contain no new functionailty -- they only contain
|
||||||
|
bug fixes. When the stability of the current release candidate is
|
||||||
|
judged to be sufficient then that release candidate will be released
|
||||||
|
as the new stable release (e.g., 2.2.0). At that time, the new stable
|
||||||
|
release and the prior stable release are those that are supported.</para>

<title>Old Release Model</title>
|

|

<para>This release model described above was adopted on 2003-07-03. Prior
|
||||||
|
to that time, a different release model was followed. Highlights of that
|
||||||
|
model were:</para>

<orderedlist>
|
||||||
|
<listitem>
|

<para>Releases were numbered in a manner similar to the current
|
||||||
|
release model.</para>

major release.</para>

<listitem>
|

|
<para>Bug fix only releases were always against the last minor release
|
||||||
|
of a major release and had identifications of the form
|
||||||
|
<emphasis>x.y.zX</emphasis> (e.g., 2.0.3c) where <emphasis>X</emphasis>=1,b,c,...
|
||||||
|
. Consequently, if a user required a bug fix but was not running the
|
||||||
|
last minor release of the associated major release then it was
|
||||||
|
necessary to accept new functionailty along with the bug fix.</para>
