This is a minor release of Shorewall that has a couple of new features. New features include: 1) An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf. When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been (see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html). When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules and policies just like any other connection request. The FORWARDPING option in shorewall.conf is ignored and the 'noping' and 'filterping' options in /etc/shorewall/interfaces will generate an error.
