Shortly after I uploaded Beta 2, I discovered a rather nasty defect so I chose not to announce Beta 2. Beta 3 is now available for testing.
Changes since Beta 1:
1) Mangle actions may now be inlined using the 'inline' option in the
actions file.
2) An issue involving nested inlined action and macro invocations has
been resolved.
3) The 'check -r' command now uses the PAGER program unless the -d
option is also specified. Additionally, when the compiler runs with
'trace', the PAGER program is used unless -d is set.
4) It is now possible to raise an error if a condition isn't met using
the ?ERROR directive.
?ERROR <message>
The text after ?ERROR is displayed in a standard Shorewall error
message.
5) Using the new ?ERROR directive, embedded Perl has been eliminated
from a number of standard actions.
Example from action.GlusterFS:
?if @1 !~ /^\d+/ || ! @1 || @1 > 1024
?error Invalid value for Bricks (@1)
?elsif @2 !~ /^[01]$/
?error Invalid value for IB (@2)
?endif
The above logic insures that the first action paramater is a
non-zero number <= 1024 and that the second parameter is either 0
or 1. If 2000 is passed for the first parameter, the following
error message is generated:
ERROR: Invalid value for Bricks (2000)
/usr/share/shorewall/action.GlusterFS (line 15)
from /etc/shorewall/rules (line 45)
6) Previously, inline matches were placed after column-generated
matches in the generated rule. This meant that "-p' could not be
used in inline matches. Beginning with this release, if the first
non-blank character in an inline match is '+', then the remainder
of the inline matches are placed at the front of the generated
rule.
7) The TCPFlags action has been modified to use '+' in inline matches
rather than embedded Perl with perl_action_tcp_handler() calls.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
