This is a major release of Shorewall.
In this release:
1. The rules syntax for port forwarding and port redirection has been
simplified.
2. Compatibility has been maintained with version 1.2 configurations so
that users may migrate their configuration at their convenience.
WARNING: Compatibility has NOT been maintained with the parameterized
sample configurations which were withdrawn on 4/8/2002. Users
still employing one of those samples must upgrade to the
latest samples before running Shorewall 1.3 (Beta or Release).
3. You may now exclude zone A from a DNAT or REDIRECT rule that applies
to zone B where zone A is a subzone of sone B.
4. The whitelist capability has been deimplemented. With recent changes
to the firewall structure and change 3. above, white lists are now
best implemented using zones as shown at:
http://www.shorewall.net/whitelisting_under_shorewall.htm
5. A 'filterping' interface option has been added to allow the
rules and policy files to control the handling of ICMP echo-request
(ping) requests that are addressed to the firewall.
