- Update to version 4.6.11 For more details see changelog.txt and
releasenotes.txt
* Previously, when the -c option was given to the 'compile'
command, the progress message "Compiling..." was issued before
it was determined if compilation was necessary. Now, that message
is suppressed when re-compilation is not required.
* Previously, when the -c option was given to the 'compile'
command, the 'postcompile' extension script was executed even when
there was no (re-)compilation. Now, the 'postcompile' script is
only invoked when a new script is generated.
* If CONFDIR was other than /etc, then ordinary users would not
receive a clear error message when they attempted to execute
one of the commands that change the firewall state.
* Previously, IPv4 DHCP client broadcasts were blocked by the
'rpfilter' interface option. That has been corrected.
* The 'update' command incorrectly added the INLINE_MATCHES
option to shorewall6.conf with a default value of 'Yes'. This
caused 'start' to fail with invalid ip6tables rules when the alternate
input format using ';' is used.
Note: This last issue is not documented in the release notes
included with the release. (forwarded request 316607 from toganm)
