Firewall Builder Release Notes
Version 2.0.1
Released 08/11/04
GUI and compilers v2.0.1 require API library libfwbuilder version 2.0.1
Summary
Firewall Builder GUI v2.0.1 is a maintenance release that includes
fixes for bugs discovered since 2.0 has been released.
For those who wish to build from source, instructions are outlined
in "Install
and Build instructions"
Bugs fixed in libfwbuilder API:
- bug #1001725: "object with empty name can not be
deleted". the problem was caused by the algorithm used in
FWObject::getPath. If object had had a blank name, the path
returned by this method would end with the name of its parent
without slash.
Bugs fixed in GUI:
- bug #1001521: "Cant create ICMP service". ICMP Service
dialog did not save icmp code and type numbers in the object.
- bug #1001275: "object duplication fails w/ no action". GUI
used to not allow user to duplicate IP address object. Now any
object can be duplicated so that the copy is placed under the
same parent, including IP address.
- bug #1000862: "Creating groups in Deleted Objects". Library
"Deleted objects" should not be offered as a choice for "group
objects" operation.
- bug #1000485: "Firewalls in the drop-down box not
ordered". List of firewalls in the pull-down that controls
policy views is now alphabetically sorted on program
startup.
- there were two TCP Service objects "linuxconf" in the
Standard objects library. Object with ID id3AED0D6D has been
removed. It seems this object has been duplicated long time ago
(at least it was like this in 1.1.2)
- bug #1002388: "Clamp MSS to MTU" option was missing in
2.0
- bug #1001833: fixed memory leak that appeared when autosave
option was used
- bug #1003068: "object copy/paste not always working". IP
address object could not be placed under interface using
copy/paste operation. Now ip address object can be pasted to
interface as well as to Objects/Addresses folder.
- Operation File/discard could not be used if the file was
upgraded. Changed the way operation File/Discard works: it now
closes the file, discards all the changes that have been made to
it and replaces it with a fresh copy of the head revision from
RCS. This works if user wants to abort file upgrade when they
switch to the new version of fwbuilder.
Bugs fixed in iptables policy compiler fwb_ipt:
- bug #1004153 "limit-burst = 0 is not valid". Iptables does not
accept the rule using "limit-burst" option if it is set to
zero.
