<para>In Shorewall 4.5.8, the /etc/shorewall[6]/routestopped files
were deprecated if favor of new /etc/shorewall[6]/stoppedrules
counterparts. The new files have much more familiar and
straightforward semantics. Once a stoppedrules file is populated, the
compiler will process that file and will ignore the corresponding
routestopped file.</para>

<para>In Shorewall 4.5.8, a new variable (VARLIB) was added to the
shorewallrc file. This variable assumes the role formerly played by
VARDIR, and VARDIR now designates the configuration directory for a
particular product.</para>

<para>Previously, the macro.SNMP macro opened both UDP ports 161 and
162 from SOURCE to DEST. This is against the usual practice of opening
these ports in the opposite direction. Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.8,
the SNMP macro opens port 161 from SOURCE to DEST as before, and a new
SNMPTrap macro is added that opens port 162 (from SOURCE to
DEST).</para>
