Firewall Builder Release Notes
Version 0.9.4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in this release:
* Custom Service object has been introduced as a way to implement
Feature Requests #414445 and #416447 (numbers are per bug tracking
system on Sourceforge). Custom Service object allows for quick
implementation of support for platform-specific extensions where
command syntax is irregular, or special module needs to be loaded. As
an example we include few objects supporting additional modules for
iptables available through "patch-o-matic" collection.
* iptables compiler now recognizes broadcast addresses and generates
code into INPUT chain (Feature request #444932)
* code optimizer has been improved in the policy compiler; compiler now
generates code which is more compact and clear
* support for certain development and experimental iptables features
available through "patch-o-matic" collection has been added to the
policy compiler. These features are :
* NETMAP target (provides for static 1:1 mapping of network
addresses in case both original and translated rule elements are
networks of the same size)
* drop table (logs all dropped packets via drop table, this feature
should be turned on and off in global firewall options dialog)
* ipv4options (recognizes following IPv4 options: source routing ,
record route , timestamp)
* Time matching (matches arrival time of the packet against start
and stop times for the rule)
Bugs fixed in iptables compiler:
* none
Bugs fixed in GUI:
* typo in autoupgrade script which was supposed to bring user's data
file from version 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 made this auto upgrade impossible.
This bug is fixed now.
* few other minor bugs discovered in testing
