-Problems Corrected in 3.2.0 Beta 1
+Problems Corrected in 3.2.0 Beta 2
 
-1)  The /etc/shorewall/params file is now copied into the compiled program
-    so that its contents are processed both at compile-time and at
-    run-time. The latter is required so that extension scripts will have
-    access to the variables that the file initializes.
-
-2)  The iptable_mangle and iptable_nat modules were previously omitted from
-    /etc/shorewall/modules.
-
-Other changes in 3.2.0 Beta 1
-
-1)  By default, the program generated by the "shorewall compile" command
-    cannot be installed into /etc/init.d/ unless the "-d <distro>" option
-    is given. This will make the default behavior distribution-neutral
-    which is what it should be.
+1)  The Makefile is now sensitive to the RESTOREFILE variable if that
+    variable is defined at make time. The /sbin/shorewall script has been
+    updated to define RESTOREFILE when it invokes 'make' during processing
+    of the "shorewall start -f" command.
