Based on feedback from early 5.0.0 adopters, I have uploaded Shorewall 5.0.1. I chose to make it a new minor release rather than a point release because a configuration option is deprecated in favor of a new option.
Problems Corrected:
1) By request, the version (5 or 5.0) has now been removed from
configuration files.
New Features:
1) 'second' and 'minute' are now allowed in the LOGLIMIT
specification in place of 'sec' and 'min' respectively. This
enhancement was present in Shorewall 4.6.13 but was not available
in Shoreall 5.0.0.
2) The LEGACY_RESTART option has been superseded by the RESTART
option. RESTART may be set as follows:
RESTART=reload
Causes the 'restart' command to perform the same action as the
'reload' command. This is the default if RESTART is not set.
RESTART=restart
Causes the 'restart' command to perform a true restart (stop
followed by start).
If LEGACY_RESTART is present in shorewall[6].conf and RESTART is
not, then its setting will govern the behavior of 'restart'. The
'update' command will convert the LEGACY_RESTART setting to the
equivalent RESTART setting.
Thank you for using Shorewall.
