RC 1 is now available for testing.

Changes since Beta 6:

1)  INLINE is now supported in the tcrules file.

    The INLINE action is also supported in the accounting and tcrules
    files. In the accounting file, INLINE is treated the same as COUNT
    in the with the exception that the freeform iptables input
    following the ';' is appended to any matches generated by the
    column contents. INLINE is treated similarly in the tcrules file;
    that is, the freeform input following ';' must specify the rule
    target, if any. In the accounting and tcrules files, INLINE does
    not accept a parameter.

2)  The method of specifying that an nfacct object is incremented
    unconditionally has changed. Previously, the '!' followed the
    closing parenthesis:

        NFACCT(foo)!

    It now follows the object name:

        NFACCT(foo!)

    This allows unconditionally incrementing more than one object:

        NFACCT(foo!,bar!)

    As part of this change, nfacct object names may now contain the     
    characters &, ^, %, and @ in addition to letters, digits and _.

3)  Prior to the availability of BEGIN PERL....END PERL in
    configuration files, the only way to execute a chain-specific
    script was to create a script file with the same name as the chain
    and place it in a directory on the CONFIG_PATH. That facility has
    the drawback that the compiler will attempt to run a non-script
    file just because it has the same name as a chain. To disable this
    facility, a new CHAIN_SCRIPTS option has been added to
    shorewall[6].conf. The facility is disabled by setting
    CHAIN_SCRIPTS=No. If not specified or specified as the empty value,
    CHAIN_SCRIPTS=Yes is assumed for backward compatibility.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
