Hi!
The Netfilter project proudly presents:
nftables 0.8.4
This release includes many fixes and following enhancements/new features:
- support to match ipv6 segment routing headers
- new 'meta ibrname' and 'meta obrname' to match the name
of the logical bridge a packet is passing through.
These new names replace the old (misnamed) 'ibriport'/'obriport'.
- 'nft -a' will now show handle identifier for all objects, including
tables and chains.
- nft can now delete objects by their handle number.
- support to update maps from the ruleset (packet path).
- the "--echo" option now prints handle id for tables and object too.
- "nft -f -" will now read from standard input
- support for flow tables.
Flow tables allow to accelerate packet forwarding in software.
They provide an alternative path that allow packets to bypass the
classic forwarding path.
You can select what flows to place in the offloading path through the
new flow offload expression.
See nft manual page or
https://lwn.net/Articles/738214/ for more information.
- add libnftables as highlevel library
This release of nftables now includes libnftables, a high-level
library to interact with the in-kernel nf_tables subsystem.
See ChangeLog that comes attached to this email for more details.
You can download it from:
http://www.netfilter.org/projects/nftables/downloads.html#nftables-0.8.4
ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/nftables/
To build the code, libnftnl 1.1.0 and libmnl >= 1.0.2 are required:
* http://netfilter.org/projects/libnftnl/index.html
* http://netfilter.org/projects/libmnl/index.html
Visit our wikipage for user documentation at:

For the manpage reference, check man(8) nft.

Happy firewalling!
