Beta 3 is now available for testing. Changes since Beta 2 include:
1) Merged fix from 4.5.10.1. 2) The Actions webpage (http://www1.shorewall.net/Actions.html) has been reorganized. 3) This release introduces user-defined address variables. Address variables are used at run-time rather than at compile-time. Prior to this release, two types of address variables were available: &<interface> Expands to the primary IP address of <interface> %<interface> Expands to the IP address of the default gateway out of <interface> The two new types added in this release are distinguished by the use of "{....}". &{<variable>} Address contained in run-time variable <variable>. The named shell variable must contain a valid IP address, either from the generated script's environment or from being set in the generated script's 'init' extension script. If the variable is empty or if its contents are not a valid IP address, an error is raised and the state of the firewall is not changed. %{<variable>} Address contained in run-time variable <variable>. If the named variable is empty, the generated script sets it to the all-zeros address (0.0.0.0 in IPv4 and :: in IPv6). When this variable appears in a SOURCE or DESTINATION column of any configuration file, or if it appears in the ADDRESSES column of the masq file, then no rule is generated when the address variable is empty. Otherwise, the rule is generated with the all-zeros address replacing the variable. As above, if the variable is non-empty and if it does not contain a valid IP address, an error is raised and the firewall state is unchanged.
