Shorewall 4.5.8.1 is now available for download.

Changes in this release include:

1)  When ipset version 5 or later was installed, the 'shorewall show
     dynamic <zone>' command produced no outout and the 'add' command
     failed with this error message:

        Zone <zone>, interface <interface> does not have a dynamic
        host list"

2)  When generating ipset names for dynamic zones, the compiler was
     dropping dashes ('-') from the interface name and adding a
     unique suffix. For example the ipset for zone 'foo' and interface
     'bar-if' might be 'foo_barif_1'. Dashes are now retained so that
     the generated set name in this example will be 'foo_bar-if'. This
     change also allows the 'add' and 'delete' commands to work
     correctly when the interface name contains one or more dashes.

     Although dash is documented as being an accepted character in ipset
     names, names containing a dash would generate an error in some
     contexts. That has also been corrected.

3)  In 4.5.8, a shell syntax error occurred when installing on a system
     running systemd. That error has been eliminated.

4)  In most contexts, Shorewall6 has required IPv6 addresses to be
     enclosed in either angled brackets ( <....> , deprecated) or in
     square brackets ([....]). This includes network addresses, where
     both the IPv6 address and the VLSM are required to be within the
     brackets (e.g., [2001;470:b:787::/64]). This differs from the
     industry-standard network form in which the IPv6 address is
     enclosed in square brackets and the VLSM is outside of the brackets
     (e.g., [2001:470:b:787::]/64). Beginning with this release, the
     industry-standard representation is also accepted by Shorewall6.

     Note: Those of you who read the patches will probably have
     noticed that much of this change was actually in 4.5.8; because the
     change was commited late in the 4.5.8 release cycle, we chose not
     to document the change until it had undergone additional testing.

Thank you for using Shorewall.
