Hello,

the bad news first: this isn't going to be the last beta release  
before 1.3. The good news: among many small bug fixes and  
improvements, the following changes have been made that should make  
life with m0n0wall a bit easier:

- The net45xx, net48xx and wrap images have been consolidated into a  
single "embedded" image for all Soekris/PC Engines boards. To upgrade  
via the webGUI, simply rename the embedded image to match your  
platform (this only needs to be done once).

- There is now an official m0n0wall VM for VMware available; I hope I  
got the config right, if not, please let me know.

- The CD-ROM version now has an "install to HD" feature (borrowed from  
AskoziaPBX).

- Source port randomization for NAT is now included, and I've applied  
a fix that should solve problems with inbound NAT mappings of large  
port ranges. Please test carefully if you have a complicated NAT setup.

- The "embedded" image now uses the BIOS's serial speed setting.
