4.5.12 Beta 4 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected since Beta 3:

1)  A number of problems with processing the arprules file have been    
    corrected.

2)  Inline actions in the RELATED and ESTABLISHED sections now work
    correctly.

3)  The 'dropInvalid' built-in function now works correctly.

4)  The compiler now generates an error when a protocol list is used in
    a context where only a single protocol name/number is accepted.

New Features since Beta 3:

1)  The interpretation of the log tag when LOGTAGONLY=Yes is changed.
    Previously, the log tag replaced the chain name in the generated
    log prefix. Now, the tag is interpreted as a chain name and a
    disposition separated by a comma.

    So this rule:

       LOG:info:foo,bar

    will generate the following log prefix when using the default
    LOGFORMAT setting:

       Shorewall:foo:bar:

    Similarly,

       LOG:info:,bar    net     fw

    will generate

       Shorewall:net2fw:bar:

2)  Rules generated by the RELATED section of the rules file are now in
    separate chains. For each pair of zones (za,zb), RELATED
    connections are handled by a chain whose name is "+za2zb"
    (ZONE_SEPARATOR=2) or "+za-zb" (ZONE_SEPARATOR='-'). This results
    in only one state match to jump to the new chain rather than a
    state match for every rule in the section.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
