Shorewall 5.2.0 RC 2 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected since RC 1:

1)  Previously, use of &lo would result in an error:

       ERROR: Can't determine the IP address of lo: Firewall state not
              changed

    That problem has been corrected such that &lo always expands to
    127.0.0.1 (IPv4) or ::1 (IPv6).

New Features since RC 1:

1)  Previously, the maximum depth of INCLUDEs was four (although the
    documentation gave the limit as three). Beginning with this
    release, that limit has been raised to 20.

2)  Support for the deprecated 'masq' file has been deleted. Any
    existing 'masq' file will automatically be converted to the
    equivalent 'snat' file.

3)  Three new shorewall commands have been implemented:

    a)  show rc

        Displays the contents of the shorewallrc file
        ($SHAREDIR/shorewall/shorewallrc).

    b)  getcaps

        Generates a capabilities file on a remote system and copies it
        to a directory on the local system.

    c)  getrc

        Copies the shorewallrc file from a remote system to a directory
        on the local system.

    See shorewall(8) for details.

    Implemented by Matt Darfuille

Thank you for testing,
