Si, la verdad es que hace tiempo ya (mas de 1 anho) que la version
"bleeding edge" (trunk) viene soportando cada vez mejor ipv6, pero en
este release se anuncia "oficialmente", con una api de configuracion muy
flexible y completa.

Por ahora es solo un release-candidate, e incidentalmente se esta
discutiendo desde ayer en la lista el comportamiento default del
firewall v6; en el estado actual, bloquea cualquier paquete entrante
no-solicitado, emulando lo que sucede en ipv4 (el trafico saliente y sus
respuestas pueden pasar, pero el trafico entrante espontaneo no)
y rompiendo el end-to-end principle de ipv6

si alguien puede aportar algun argumento de peso, el hilo se esta
desarrollando en:

cheers! :)
