14) The names of interface configuration variables in generated scripts
have been changed to insure uniqueness. These names now begin with
SW_.
This change will only affect you if your extension scripts are
using one or more of these variables.

iface_ADDRESS SW_iface_ADDRESS
iface_BCASTS SW_iface_BCASTS
iface_ACASTS SW_iface_ACASTS
iface_GATEWAY SW_iface_GATEWAY
iface_ADDRESSES SW_iface_ADDRESSES
iface_NETWORKS SW_iface_NETWORKS
iface_MAC SW_iface_MAC
provider_IS_USABLE SW_provider_IS_USABLE

1) To avoid variable name collisions, a number of shell variable names
that Shorewall uses and that are in all capital letters have been
changed. The following variables are now safe to use in your
/etc/shorewall/params file and in your extension scripts:
DEBUG
ECHO_E
ECHO_N
EXPORT
FAST
IPT_OPTIONS
PROFILE
PURGE
RING_BELL
TEST
USE_VERBOSITY
VERBOSE_OFFSET
