Summary - Outdated nft version
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Packages
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Low
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - lede-17.01
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - I'm running on the current stable release. I wanted to build a new firewall ruleset with nft instead of iptables. Although the kernel is quite recent and packed with most of the features available in nftables, the userspace utility nft is quite old.

nft -v
nftables v0.4 (Support Edward Snowden)


nft v0.4 was released in december of 2014. Whereas the newest version (nft v0.7) was released in december of 2016.

Please update the respective package to support all current features of nft.
