This is bugfix release.

For those who wish to build from source, instructions are outlined in the document "Install and Build instructions" on our web site here

fixed bug #1661140: "built-in installer broken in 2.1.9 for PF". Installer incorrectly set name for files it copied to the firewall if generated configuration consisted of several files. Affected platforms are PF and ipfilter because normally for these platforms compiler generates two files.
fixed bug #1659832: "No compile with QT without STL support"
a workaround for the bug 1629461: "Policy tabs do not scroll @ window extent on OSX". The tab widget used to show policy, nat, routing and policy branch rulesets does not switch to a "folded" mode on Mac OS X when it needs to show more tabs that fit in the window. Since I can't figure out a way to force it to do that, I am dropping "Policy/" from the tab titles for branches to make them shorter. This will help users with policies with many branches, however it does not solve the problem because as they keep adding branches, at some point they won't fit in the window again.
added an item "Where used" to the context menu associated with objects in rules
