Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

	nftables 0.8.3

This release includes a few fixes since last release plus following
enhancements:
 - ifname_type, so its possible to match interface names via sets:

  table inet t {
    set s {
      type ifname
      elements = { "eth0",
                   "eth1" }
     }
     chain c {
       iifname @s accept
       oifname @s accept
     }
  }

- raw payload support to match headers that do not yet have
a more human-readable mnemonic.  This also allows to match
udp and tcp port numbers in a single rule, because the raw
payload expression doesn't enforce a protocol dependency on
the network header.  Example:

 input meta l4proto {tcp, udp} @th,16,16 { dns, http }

 matches both udp and tcp dport 53 and 80 in single rule.

See ChangeLog that comes attached to this email for more details.
