It has been my intention to continue the beta period for 4.0 through the summer and to release 4.0 in the September time frame. Several factors have caused me to rethink that schedule.
- The rate of problem reports against Shorewall-perl has dropped rapidly and the code seems to be quite stable. - The 4.0 Documentation has come together more quickly than I had planned. - 3.4 and 4.0 are now on nearly identical code bases except for Shorewall-perl. I have patch files to make up for the differences so it is now possible to make maintenance updates to 3.4 and roll those updates into 4.0 with almost no additional effort. In light of these factors, I'm thinking of producing one more 4.0 Beta release then releasing 4.0.0 RC1. Assuming that the release candidate doesn't encounter problems, I would anticipate final release some time in late July or early August. Because supporting 3.4 will not present any burden over supporting 4.0, I plan to break the "two supported releases" rule and to support 3.2, 3.4 and 4.0 until 4.2 comes along.
