Firewall Builder Release Notes


Version 1.0.3


GUI v1.0.3 requires API library libfwbuilder version 0.10.7

Summary

The main goal of this release is to incorporate fixes for bugs discovered in the new policy compiler for iptables (fwb_ipt). Firewall Builder GUI now comes preconfigured to call fwb_ipt instead of the old compiler fwb_iptables. If you have a reason to keep using the old compiler, you can do so. You need to install package fwbuilder-iptables and then type "fwb_iptables" in the entry field "Compiler (if different from default)" in the tab "Compile/Install" in the firewall object dialog. It is important to note though that per project road map I will stop maintaining compatibility with the old compiler in the next version (v1.0.4). Project roadmap can be found here: http://www.fwbuilder.org/pages/documents.html
