Package: arno-iptables-firewall
Version: 1.8.8c-1

The current version has several important bugs that have been corrected in the latest upstream version (1.8.8h). These are:

1) It contains some major bugfixes in the plugin system. The plugin system in version 1.8.8c as broken causing it to be rendered completely useless if you use more than one plugin or when newer type plugins are used.

2) It contains an improvement/fix that errors and warnings get send to stderr, were version 1.8.8c sends this to stdout.

3) Some cosmetic fixes/improvements.

4) The order of some variables in the config-file was changed (the MODEM & LAN sections are swapped), causing MODEM_INTERNAL_NET="$INTERNAL_NET" not to work as INTERNAL_NET wasn't specified yet . This is a regression bug that was introduced some around version 1.8.8c.

The latest upstream version (1.8.8h) has been extensively tested and currently has no pending bug (reports). I therefor strongly recommend to sync the current Etch version (1.8.8c) with the latest upstream version (1.8.8h).
