As I announced today on the Shorewall lists, I am about to release
Shorewall 1.3.14. That will definitely be the last 1.3 release and will
probably be the last of the Shorewall 1.x.x releases. I am going to be
concentrating on Shorewall 2.
I will continue to support Shorewall 1.3 but will not be adding any new
features.
If anyone is interested in taking over the development of Shorewall 1,
please let me know. Shorewall 2 will be written in a language other than
Bourne Shell so it is likely that Shorewall 2 will not work with LEAF
releases/branches, at least in their smaller configurations.
Shorewall 2 will:
a) remove some of the cruft that has accumulated in the externals of
Shorewall 1 (Old Ping Handling, MERGE_HOSTS=No, 'routestopped' option for
hosts and interfaces).
b) be smarter than Shorewall 1 (principle reason for moving to a richer
programming language).
c) have some sort of GUI.
d) be able to import Shorewall 1 configurations.
