Have you tried our WWW > pages to get the latest version? :( Unfortunately not. When I submitted my ipfw changes into -current, my understanding was that 2.1.5 was about 2 weeks from being solidified. The dilemma was whether I should risk bringing in mass changes into -stable. After discussing this with Poul, I decided against doing so. -stable has all the latest bug fixes, but lacks the updated documentation. I'm sitting on some handbook changes because I didn't want the handbook to *seem* up to date, but really only cover -current. If anyone has suggestions on where we should take -stable, I'd be happy to hear them. If it looks like 2.1.5 will be delayed long enough, we can see about bringing -stable up to the level of -current. Alex
