- Update to version 4.5.21 For more details see changelog.txt and
  releasenotes.txt
  * ip[6]tables 1.4.20 introduced an incompatible change that
    causes the program to fail if there is another instance of either
    iptables or ip6tables already running. This behavior can be avoided
    if the new -w option is specified.
    To work around this problem, the compiler now uses the -w
    option (when available) during capabilities determination so that
    shorewall and shorewall6 compilations can proceed in parallel.
  * Previously, the Shorewall-init installer unconditionally
    installed the sysconfig file even when a different SYSCONFFILE was
    specified. (Thomas D).
  * /sbin/shorewall-init now includes the correct SYSCONFDIR name
    in its error message that reports the absense of
     ${SYSCONFDIR}/shorewall-init. (Thomas D).
  * /sbin/shorewall-init and the Shorewall-init SysV init scripts
    now honor the setting of $OPTIONS.
  * The -lite installers now look in ${SHAREDIR} for the
    coreversion file rather than in /usr/share/.
  * If a Shorewall-lite installation used an 
    /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir file to set a non-standard state
    directory, the administrative system would send the firewall
    and firewall.conf files to the wrong directory on the firewall
    system.
  * Previously, the compiler verified 'monthdays' specifications in
    the rules TIME column, but failed to include --monthdays in the
    generated rule. That omission has been corrected.
  * The Multicast DNS macros (mDNS and mDNSbi) now allow the entire
    non-priv port range (1024-65535) for the the dynamic unicast
    port. Previously, only the Linux 2.6+ dynamic port range (forwarded request 202077 from toganm)
