Shorewall 2.0.8
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems Corrected in version 2.0.4
1) A DNAT rule with 'fw' as the source that specified logging caused
"shorewall start" to fail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems Corrected in version 2.0.5
1) Eliminated "$RESTOREBASE: ambiguous redirect" messages during
"shorewll stop" in the case where DISABLE_IPV6=Yes in
shorewall.conf.
2) An anachronistic reference to the mangle option was removed from
shorewall.conf.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems Corrected in version 2.0.6
1) Some users have reported the pkttype match option in iptables/
Netfilter failing to match certain broadcast packets. The result
is that the firewall log shows a lot of broadcast packets.
Other users have complained of the following message when
starting Shorewall:
modprobe: cant locate module ipt_pkttype
Users experiencing either of these problems can use PKTTYPE=No in
shorewall.conf to cause Shorewall to use IP address filtering of
broadcasts rather than packet type.
2) The shorewall.conf and zones file are no longer given execute
permission by the installer script.
3) ICMP packets that are in the INVALID state are now dropped by the
Reject and Drop default actions. They do so using the new
'dropInvalid' builtin action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems Corrected in version 2.0.7
1) The PKTTYPE option introduced in version 2.0.6 is now used when
generating rules to REJECT packets. Broadcast packets are silently
dropped rather than being rejected with an ICMP (which is a protocol
violation) and users whose kernels have broken packet type match
support are likely to see messages reporting this violation.
Setting PKTTYPE=No should cause these messages to cease.
2) Multiple interfaces with the 'blacklist' option no longer result in
an error message at startup.
3) The following has been added to /etc/shorewall/bogons:
0.0.0.0 RETURN
This prevents the 'nobogons' option from logging DHCP 'DISCOVER'
broadcasts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features in version 2.0.7
1) To improve supportability, the "shorewall status" command now
includes IP and Route configuration information.

1) User/group restricted rules now work in actions.

Problems Corrected in version 2.0.9
1) Previously, an empty PROTO column or a value of "all" in that column
would cause errors when processing the /etc/shorewall/tcrules file.
