Thanks to the tireless efforts of Steven Springl, I believe that the new release is stable enough for wider testing.
Since I uploaded an earlier version of the code, please check the MD5SUMs if you download from a mirror: c36b649668caa052830bf1cfb42aec5e shorewall-4.0.0-0Beta1.noarch.rpm 2866b06b33fdbfdbf3141ab3b97c824a shorewall-lite-4.0.0-0Beta1.noarch.rpm 934f9cbcc80b3c9cf29dc8e1ec32c1b2 shorewall-perl-4.0.0-0Beta1.noarch.rpm adc4b91ea083f82cd6c6960bf73e3dca shorewall-shell-4.0.0-0Beta1.noarch.rpm 68a4ac1637f9bcd43dad5c7fa4abfc0b shorewall-4.0.0-Beta1.tar.bz2 c0a720d4d75c03ae2c768947e7093c40 shorewall-4.0.0-Beta1.tgz 78b70fb9f7f4b83825f0959796a8d9ea shorewall-docs-html-4.0.0-Beta1.tar.bz2 95c444e51f7de8ccf18b86e266da6935 shorewall-docs-html-4.0.0-Beta1.tgz 02cb62f851aed4e9dbaa7e753e408e16 shorewall-docs-xml-4.0.0-Beta1.tar.bz2 3a5db8638f7b904e30828abd2794092d shorewall-docs-xml-4.0.0-Beta1.tgz 1ebafdc6ea675ed50f589296f79a342d shorewall-lite-4.0.0-Beta1.tar.bz2 f8fd4d441d78e5115aba60e4abce9b04 shorewall-lite-4.0.0-Beta1.tgz The Beta release can be found in the /pub/shorewall/development/4.0/shorewall-4.0.0-Beta1 directory at the download sites (with the exception of SourceForge). As I'm sure you are all aware, the centerpiece of 4.0.0 is Shorewall-perl, the new compiler that not only runs much faster than the old compiler but also does a more thorough job of validating the configuration. Shorewall-perl also generates iptables-restore input so that the generated script runs in a fraction of the time of a similar script produced by the old compiler and does not disable new connections while it is running. Please read the release notes carefully -- Shorewall-perl is not completely compatible with the old compiler. The good news is that the old compiler is still available and is largely unchanged from Shorewall 3.4. Please pay particular attention to the upgrade instructions. You cannot simply upgrade the "shorewall" package; you must also install one or both of the compilers. Not all of the documentation included with the release has been updated yet for 4.0.0 -- please rely on the man pages that are installed as part of the release (the online man pages are for Shorewall 3.4 only). I expect the beta period to last throughout the summer with the first release candidate in September or so.
