The first release of Shorewall was in March of 2001. Shorewall 1.2.12 was released in May of 2002. It is now the year 2005 and Shorewall 2.2 is available. Shorewall 1.2.12 is poorly documented and is missing many of the features that Shorewall users find essential today and it is silly to continue to run it simply because it is bundled with an ancient Debian release.
