There has been quite a bit of testing this weekend resulting in a number
of changes in the code. I have uploaded RC 1 so we can all get back on
the same code base.

Problems Corrected since Beta 4:

1)  The Shorewall6 actions.std has been updated.

2)  The handling of audited *_DISPOSITION has been corrected.

3)  ACCEPT and A_ACCEPT are now rejected as settings for                
    INVALID_DISPOSITION. That was the documented behavior in Beta 4 but
    the code didn't match the documentation.

4)  The bogus 'use Shorewall::Rules qw( process_rule1 )' directives
    have been removed from several action files.

5)  In Beta 4, a '?set @chain' directive caused rules to be omitted and
    an invalid rule to be generated.

6)  Manpage clarifications:

    - shorewall[6]-accounting

      The use of ipsets is documented.
      The default CHAIN when that column is omitted is clarified.

    - Configuration file basics

      The format of <variable> in a ?set directive is clarified.

7)  When source and/or destination ports are specified in an RST or
    NotSyn rule, a fatal error is no longer raised.

8)  The TCPFlags action now generates the correct rules.

9)  UNTRACKED_DISPOSITION=ACCEPT is now handled correctly.

New/changed
 Features since Beta 4:

1)  The compiler now attempts to omit conntrack match rules that can
    never match. It also attempts to suppress redundant conntrack
    matches.

2)  A 'New' standard action has been added that matches packets in the
    NEW connection tracking state.

3)  The $matches parameter to perl_action_helper() no longer needs to
    include a trailing space.

4)  The shorewallrc.archlinux file now assumes that systemd is
    installed (Evangelos Foutras).

5)  When the 'CONNTRACK match' capability is present (as it is in all
    current distros), optimize level 16 now combines adjacent rules
    that differ only in the conntrack states matched.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
