A new development build of SmoothWall Express 3.0 has been released for public testing: "Express 3.0 is our latest version of the long running and successful SmoothWall Express firewall. This is an alpha release, code name "koala". This means that although this build is working and usable, it is not feature-complete." Some of the new features relative to version 2.0 include: "Based upon the latest 2.6 kernel; brand new theme; includes many new NIC drivers; brand new update system; NTP service for the local network; local hosts list that can be served through the DNS proxy; replacement traffic stats page; SIP NAT support; many internal changes to make the code more organised and easier to work with...."

Distribution Release: Smoothwall Express 3.1 SP6 |
|
Neal P. Murphy has announced the release of Smoothwall Express 3.1 SP6, an updated build of the project's specialist Linux distribution for firewalls and routers with a custom web-based configuration interface: "The Smoothwall Express Team announce the release of Update 12. We updated a few packages. Kernel and system notes: Linux kernel was bumped to version 4.4.302; linux-firmware was bumped to 20241210; since SWE 3.1 is now easier to build on itself, Linux v4.4.302 was built to change NR_CPUS to 32 which should be large enough for the near future - this will enable quicker system builds; the SO_REUSEPORT define was restored in the kernel headers (version 3.4.104 to maintain compatibility with libraries and programs from the original SWE 3.1 release); nftables support is included in the kernel, while the system still uses iptables, this will facilitate migration in the future; a few steps were taken to begin removing PPTP from the system, Microsoft declared it insecure many years ago; the location of netfilter timeouts in /proc changed, requiring minor changes in rc.network; the new version of dhcpcd wants/requires user 'dhcpcd' to be present; /etc/passwd was suitably changed...."

Distribution Release: Smoothwall Express 3.1 SP4 |
|
Smoothwall Express, is a specialist Linux distribution for firewalls and routers, featuring a custom web-based configuration interface. The project's origins date back to the year 2000 and it still continues to evolve today - the developers have just announced an update to their 3.1 product line: "The Smoothwall Express team announce the release of Update9/SP4. This update and service pack should address most of the problems you encountered with Update8/SP3. We resolved a number of bugs, updated a number of packages, and re-released all of the Update8 packages. Of particular note, we made a number of improvements in the UI, added packages that will allow you to use a wireless IF for RED (manual only; not yet integrated into the system), and switched from Openswan to Libreswan. We also locked the kernel headers (used for glibc, klibc and a few other packages) to those of 3.4.104 to ensure a consistent Linux API going forward. Update8 switched to 3.16 kernel headers for some packages; this may have been the source of inexplicable problems some people reported after applying Update8." Here is the full release announcement as published on the distribution's user forums. Download (MD5): Express-3.1-SP4-x86_64.iso (241MB), Express-3.1-SP4-i586.iso (233MB). |

From the release announcement: "The Smoothwall community is pleased to announce the release of the long-awaited Smoothwall Express 3.1 firewall. This release is a refresh of the Smoothwall Express 3.0 foundation and a culmination of five years of effort that began with the Roadster Test Vehicle. The build system has been thoroughly worked over, and the user interface has been freshened with several presentation improvements. The vast majority of the work was done 'under the hood'. Here are just a few of the software upgrades: Linux kernel 3.4.104, glibc 2.18, GCC 4.7.3, Perl 5.14.4, Squid 3.3.13, httpd 2.2.27, iptables 1.4.14, and OpenSwan 2.6.41. Some of these updates are ready to enable new features such as HTTPS proxying in Squid. In addition to these updates, numerous bugs present in 3.0." Download (MD5): Express-3.1-x86_64.iso (204MB). |

Development Release: Smoothwall Express 3.1 RC5 |
|
Neal Murphy has announced the availability of the fifth release candidate for Smoothwall Express 3.1, a Linux-based operating system designed for firewalls and routers: "Smoothwall Express 3.1 fifth release candidate available. A note about previous RCs: if you are running RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4 or an earlier RC5 daily build, you must install RC5 ASAP. OpenSSL had a major bug that could leak data to unauthorized parties. Second, IPv6 was not correctly firewalled before RC4; there's a small chance your UI and/or SSH could be accessed from RED via a link-local address; this bug is present in Roadster, too. This release is a refresh of 3.0's foundation and a culmination of five years of effort that began with the Roadster Test Vehicle. The build system has been thoroughly worked over, and the user interface has been freshened with several presentation improvements." See the full release announcement for a complete changelog.

We expect RC4 to be the last release candidate before we release Smoothwall Express 3.1. The vast majority of the work was done 'under the hood'. Here are just a few of the software upgrades: Linux kernel 3.4, glibc 2.18, GCC 4.7.2, Perl 5.14.4, Squid 3.3.5, httpd 2.2.24, iptables 1.4.14 and Openswan 2.6.39."
