I've uploaded 4.5.2 for testing. Given that I must go back to work
tomorrow, I won't have as much time now to play with Shorewall.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
          P R O B L E M S   C O R R E C T E D   I N   4 . 5 . 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)  Previously, if there were entries in /etc/shorewall/accounting,
    OPTIMIZE settings of 4, 5, 6 or 7 could cause a run-time failure
    during 'shorewall start'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
             K N O W N   P R O B L E M S   R E M A I N I N G

None.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                N E W   F E A T U R E S   I N   4 . 5 . 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)  The "optimize 4" feature added in 4.5.1 is now extended to all
    tables.

    Additionally:

    - if a built-in chain has a single rule that branches to a
      second chain, then the rules from the second chain are moved to
      the built-in chain and the target chain is omitted.

    - Chains with no references are deleted.

    - Accounting chains are subject to optimization if the new
      OPTIMIZE_ACCOUNTING option is set to 'Yes' (default is 'No').

    - If a chain ends with an unconditional branch to a second chain
      (other than to 'reject'), then the branch is deleted from the
      first chain and the rules from the second chain are appended to
      it.

2)  Shorewall now throws an error if:

    a) There are tracked providers; and
    b) PROVIDER_OFFSET is 0; and
    c) 'ipp2p' is used as the PROTO in a tcpri entry.

3)  You may now preview the generated ruleset by using the '-r' option
    to the 'check' command (e.g., "shorewall check -r").

    The output is a shell script fragment, similar to the way it
    appears in the generated script.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
