[Shorewall-users] Shorewall Development Schedule
As Shorewall reaches maturity, it seems unlikely that the pace of development typical of the past 9 years will be sustained. Over that time, major releases have occurred approximately once per year; the last major release (4.4) was in August 2009. I do not currently have an active 4.5 development branch so it is very unlikely that we will see a 4.6 release this year. Going forward, I would expect a new minor release every 2-3 months. These minor releases will be preceded by Beta and RC releases like we have been having since 4.4.6. -Tom -- Tom Eastep\ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.

Re: [Shorewall-users] Shorewall Development Schedule
Good Night ( at least in Brasil ... ;- )) ) I just do not have appropriate words to express how much Shorewall help my job and simplify my daily tasks ... For my level of use, the series 3 already Haas everything I need ... And I have been learning a lot just reading the posts ... Thanks Tom ...

Hi Tom, I concur on Shorewall reaching maturity. Thanks for your sustained efforts to respond to the need for a open source firewall in the ever evolving linux world.

Re: [Shorewall-users] Shorewall Development Schedule
I agree with Trent. Shorewall is a mature, well craft product that pretty well (if not does) supports everything that a user would want a firewall to do. I'm just not the person to do this (not being a programmer) but if there was thing I would like to see enhanced and that's the plugin module for Shorewall on Webmin and possibly some setup documentation for a dummy like me!

What kind of configuration should I provide setup information for? I think that writing additional documentation is a good use of my time if it helps users to configure Shorewall. Have you looked at http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_setup_guide.htm? What other issues should it cover?
