Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

        iptables 1.8.9

This release contains new features:

* arptables-nft: Support --exact flag
* Add --enable-profiling configure option, preparing for gcov/gprof
* Support more chunk types in sctp extension
* Print '--' in ip6tables' 'opt' column for consistency with iptables
* More verbose error messages if iptables-nft-restore fails
* Support '-p Length' with ebtables-nft, needed for 802_3 extension
* Merge all NAT extensions into a single DSO
* Install ebtables-translate tool

... and fixes:

* Misc compiler warnings
* Duplicate ETH_ALEN definition when building against musl libc
* Failing out-of-tree build
* Avoid symbol pollution by limiting scope of some in xtables.h
* Increase testsuites' code-coverage
* Using --init-table would crash ebtables-restore, reject it properly
* Fix potential read from garbage in string extension
* Add missing nf_log.h kernel header to dist
* Fix listing format with overly long 'prot' column entries
* Print numeric protocol values with --numeric
* Broken ebtables' among match with MAC+IP address entries
* Occasional wrong line number reported by failing iptables-nft-restore
* Multiple rules using among match broke ebtables-restore
* Renaming a chain in legacy iptables could crash the program
* A second bitwise expression in a rule would mangle the first one
* More strictly reject rules with unexpected content
* Many xtables-translate fixes
* Misc memory leaks and garbage access, satisfy valgrind's leak checker

... and documentation updates:

* Iptables exits when setuid, mention this in man page
* Improve NFQUEUE queue-balance documentation

You can download the new release from:

Happy firewalling!
