This release adds a few new features and fixes some bugs with IPsec and the traffic shaper. I want to remind everyone that even though it may not seems so at times, we're still in the "public beta" stage, so especially new features may be broken because I do only a limited amount of testing on them. The rest is left to the beta testers - you all. :) As always, everybody is advised to upgrade because of the bugfixes - keep your config backup and previous image around just in case. Last but not least, in case you'd like a T-shirt with the m0n0wall logo, Marcin Gryszkalis is selling them for about $9 at http://butik.pl/forkpl?l=en Changes: - new feature: "server NAT"; makes it possible to map ports on multiple WAN IP addresses to different servers (instead of just 1:1) - the parsed XML configuration file is now cached in PHP's native binary serialized form to reduce webGUI page load times on slow platforms (486-based in particular) where parsing the XML configuration is relatively expensive - added "Disable console menu" option to advanced setup page - firmware upload now uses HTTP instead of FTP; the FTP server has been removed (uploading files for diagnostic purposes may be done via exec.php) - the firmware upload page now checks for new versions of m0n0wall online (and displays the results, if available, on the firmware upload page). Timeout is 3 seconds, and the following information is sent to the server: platform and m0n0wall version - added interface menu to IPsec tunnel edit page (local endpoint does no longer have to be the WAN interface) - "reject" type filter rules are now supported (returns TCP RST or ICMP port unreachable for UDP) - contributed by Peter Allgeyer - added file up- and download via HTTP to exec.php - renamed "Log blocked packets by default" option on System logs: Settings page to "Log packets blocked by the default rule" and changed its behavior: it only controls whether packets that got blocked by an automatically generated rule (usually the default-to-block rule in absence of a matching pass rule) are logged. Logging of packets that are blocked by user-defined block rules is now no longer affected and only controlled by the per-rule log option. Logging for pass rules remains unchanged. - changed policy level for IPsec VPN tunnels to "unique" (was "require") to solve a problem with multiple tunnels to the same endpoint - fixed FQDN "my identifier" for IPsec mobile clients - kernel patch for problem with traffic shaper rules for inbound packets on WAN (FreeBSD kernel bug, see FreeBSD PR kern/61685) - various IPsec GUI fixes Regards, Manuel |
