[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

        nftables 1.1.1

This release contains mostly fixes, listed in no particular order:

- reduce netlink cache dependencies to speed up incremental updates.
- fix UDP packet mangling when checksum field is zero.
- several fixes for nft reset command.
- JSON parser fixes.
- variables are not supported by -o/--optimize.
- allow zero burst in byte ratelimiter.

  table netdev filter {
       set test123 {
               typeof ip saddr
               limit rate over 1 mbytes/second
               elements = { 1.2.3.4 limit rate over 1 mbytes/second }
       }
  }

- fix double-free when users call nft_ctx_clear_vars() first, then nft_ctx_free().
- document that tproxy statement is non-terminal (compared to iptables).
  This allows for tproxy+log and tproxy+mark combos, see man nft(8) for details.
- add egress support for 'list hooks'.

  # nft list hooks netdev device eth0
  family netdev {
          hook ingress device eth0 {
                   0000000000 chain inet ingress in_public [nf_tables]
                   0000000000 chain netdev ingress in_public [nf_tables]
          }
          hook egress device eth0 {
                   0000000000 chain netdev ingress out_public [nf_tables]
          }
  }

- fix listing inconsistencies in "nft list hooks".
- "nft list hooks netdev" now iterates all interfaces and then list all of them.
- document "nft list hooks" command, see man nft(8).

... including manpage updates too and tests enhancements.

See changelog for more details (attached to this email).
