Hello and thanks for a great piece of software!!!

I have been told that there are major changes in netfilter/iptables in 
the latest beta kernel 2.5 and that the changes will be made permanent 
in the next stable release 2.6

My question is, will the command syntax change again (like it did from 
ipchains to iptables)? I use iptables daily on routers and I'm very 
comfortable with its logic and syntax. If there is going to be a major 
change, I'd like to know so I can study the change and test it out.

I use iptables mainly for routing/NAT and firewalling networks and 
stand-alone single systems.

Thank you,
