<p>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as &quot;Shorewall&quot;,&nbsp; is a
<a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables) based firewall
that can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function
gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

<p>The Shorewall-docs project now contains just the HTML and image files - the
Frontpage files have been removed.</p>
<p><b>8/7/2002 - <i>STABLE</i></b> <b>branch added to <a target="_top" href="http://www.shorewall.net/cgi-bin/cvs/cvsweb.cgi">
CVS Repository</a>
<img border="0" src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12"></b></p>
<p>This branch will only be updated after I release a new version of Shorewall
so you can always update from this branch to get the latest stable tree.</p>
<p><b>8/7/2002 - <a href="errata.htm#Upgrade">Upgrade Issues</a> section added
to the <a href="errata.htm">Errata Page</a>
<img border="0" src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12"></b></p>
<p>Now there is one place to go to look for issues involved with upgrading to
recent versions of Shorewall.</p>
<p><b>8/7/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.6
<img border="0" src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12"></b></p>
<p>This is primarily a bug-fix rollup with a couple of new features:</p>
<ul>
<li>The latest <a href="shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm">QuickStart Guides </a>
including the <a href="shorewall_setup_guide.htm">Shorewall Setup Guide.</a></li>
<li>Shorewall will now DROP TCP packets that are not part of or related to an
existing connection and that are not SYN packets. These &quot;New not SYN&quot; packets
may be optionally logged by setting the LOGNEWNOTSYN option in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</a>.</li>
<li>The processing of &quot;New not SYN&quot; packets may be extended by commands in
the new <a href="shorewall_extension_scripts.htm">newnotsyn extension script</a>.</li>
</ul>
