I'm pleased to announce the release of metawall 0.12.  Metawall is a perl
script that allows you to write firewall rules in a simple metalanguage.  These
rules can then be used to generate packet filtering commands for a variety of
backend targets.  For more information, see the metawall home page:

The script is also available on CPAN:

Questions, comments, and bug reports are welcomed.

Changes since version 0.10:

* Replaced -i install option with more flexible -c chain name option
* Added support for TCP flags
* Added support for IP protocol numbers
* Changed what types of ICMP rules generate stateless reply rules
* Symbols may now contain '-' characters
* Fixed some buglets in symbol and token parsing
* Added a few more protocols
