OPNsense 18.1.6 released

[franco]

Howdy partners,

With Meltdown and Spectre just behind us here comes another round of security advisories and assorted changes.

Three mentionable changes are included: We are switching back to single-source NAT on the primary IP instead of using all additional VIPs on the interface. The hardware-assisted VLAN capability check was removed from the system enabling e.g. XEN users to create VLANs. And the multi-WAN traffic shaping experience has been corrected for non-default interfaces within the scope of shared forwarding.

Expected is an image release based on this version some time within the next week for completeness.

Here are the full patch notes:
