10) The name 'any' is now reserved and may not be used as a zone name.
11) Perl module initialization has changed in Shorewall
4.4.1. Previously, each Shorewall Perl package would initialize its
global variables for IPv4 in an INIT block. Then, if the
compilation turned out to be for IPv6,
Shorewall::Compiler::compiler() would reinitialize them for IPv6.
Beginning in Shorewall 4.4.1, the modules do not initialize
themselves in an INIT block. So if you use Shorewall modules
outside of the Shorewall compilation environment, then you must
explicitly call the module's 'initialize' function after the module
has been loaded.
