+ When compiling for export, the compiler generates a firewall.conf
file which is later installed on the remote firewall system as
${VARDIR}/firewall.conf. Previously, the CLI on that firewall was
not processing the file, resulting in some features not being
available:
- Default values for VERBOSITY, LOGFILE, LOGFORMAT, PATH,
SHOREWALL_SHELL, SUBSYSLOCK, RESTOREFILE, RESTART,
DYNAMIC_BLACKLIST and PAGER are not supplied.
- scfilter file supplied at compile time.
- dumpfilter file supplied at compile time.
That has been corrected.
+ A bug in iptables (see
https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/commit/?id=d1555a0906e35ba8d170613d5a43da64e527dbe1)
prevents the '--queue-cpu-fanout' option from being applied unless
that option is the last one specified. Unfortunately, Shorewall
places the '--queue-bypass' option last if that option is also
specified.
This release works around this issue by ensuring that the
'--queue-cpu-fanout' option appears last.
+ The -D 'compile', 'check', 'reload' and 'Restart' option was
previously omitted from the output of 'shorewall help'. It is now
included. As part of this change, an incorrect and conflicting
description of the -D option was removed from the 'remote-restart'
section of shorewall(8).
+ Previously, when EXPAND_POLICIES=No, chains that enforced ACCEPT
policies were not completely optimized by optimize level 2 (ACCEPT
rules preceding the final unconditional ACCEPT were not
