v5.0.1 is a big-fix release, it includes improvement in the design of the installer dialog to let user start in non-batch install mode but continue in batch install mode later; improvements in support for iptables configurations for bridging Linux firewalls; fixes for several GUI crashes; policy compilers now correctly handle /31 subnets.

Other new features include support for importing PF configuration files and a new object type, called Attached Networks, which represents the list of networks connected to a network interface.
