Hello,

just released version 1.61, as usual found here:
http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/pf_freebsd_1.61.tar.gz
(MD5 (pf_freebsd_1.61.tar.gz) = 23f703943595501dfe7f432b66961aea)

Most notable change is a patch from Cedric to enable tables in pools:
"This patch remove the restriction that tables cannot be used in routing or
redirection rules...
The advantage of using tables in redirection/routing rules is not
efficiency,
in fact it will run slower than straight address pools. However, this brings
a lot of flexibility to PF, allowing simple scripts/daemons to add/remove
addresses from redirection/routing pools easily.
This implementation support all table features, including cidr blocks and
negated addresses. So specifying { 10.0.0.0/29 !10.0.0.0 !10.0.0.7 } will
correctly round-robin between the six addresses: .1, .2, .3, .4, .5, .6.
Tables can also be combined with simple addresses, so the following rule
will work as expected: "nat on foo0 -> { 1.1.1.1 <bar> }""

Plus some minor changes and fixes.

Regards,
    Max
