* IMPORTANT: the default keyexchange mode 'ike' is changing with
release 4.5 from 'ikev1' to 'ikev2', thus commemorating the five
year anniversary of the IKEv2 RFC 4306 and its mature successor
RFC 5996. The time has definitively come for IKEv1 to go into
retirement and to cede its place to the much more robust, powerful
and versatile IKEv2 protocol!
* Added new ctr, ccm and gcm plugins providing Counter, Counter
with CBC-MAC and Galois/Counter Modes based on existing CBC
implementations. These new plugins bring support for AES and
Camellia Counter and CCM algorithms and the AES GCM algorithms
for use in IKEv2.
* The new pkcs11 plugin brings full Smartcard support to the IKEv2
daemon and the pki utility using one or more PKCS#11 libraries. It
currently supports RSA private and public key operations and loads
X.509 certificates from tokens.
* Implemented a general purpose TLS stack based on crypto and
credential primitives of libstrongswan. libtls supports TLS
versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, ECDHE-ECDSA/RSA, DHE-RSA and RSA key
exchange algorithms and RSA/ECDSA based client authentication.
* Based on libtls, the eap-tls plugin brings certificate based EAP
authentication for client and server. It is compatible to Windows
7 IKEv2 Smartcard authentication and the OpenSSL based FreeRADIUS
EAP-TLS backend.
* Implemented the TNCCS 1.1 Trusted Network Connect protocol using
the libtnc library on the strongSwan client and server side via
the tnccs_11 plugin and optionally connecting to a TNC@FHH-enhanced
FreeRADIUS AAA server. Depending on the resulting TNC Recommendation,
strongSwan clients are granted access to a network behind a
strongSwan gateway (allow), are put into a remediation zone (isolate)
or are blocked (none), respectively.
Any number of Integrity Measurement Collector/Verifier pairs can be
attached via the tnc-imc and tnc-imv charon plugins.
* The IKEv1 daemon pluto now uses the same kernel interfaces as the
IKEv2 daemon charon. As a result of this, pluto now supports xfrm
marks which were introduced in charon with 4.4.1.
* The RADIUS plugin eap-radius now supports multiple RADIUS servers
for redundant setups. Servers are selected by a defined priority,
server load and availability.
* The simple led plugin controls hardware LEDs through the Linux LED
subsystem. It currently shows activity of the IKE daemon and is a
good example how to implement a simple event listener.
* Improved MOBIKE behavior in several corner cases, for instance,
if the initial responder moves to a different address.
* Fixed left-/rightnexthop option, which was broken since 4.4.0.
* Fixed a bug not releasing a virtual IP address to a pool if the
XAUTH identity was different from the IKE identity.
* Fixed the alignment of ModeConfig messages on 4-byte boundaries
in the case where the attributes are not a multiple of 4 bytes
(e.g. Cisco's UNITY_BANNER).
* Fixed the interoperability of the socket_raw and socket_default
charon plugins.
* Added man page for strongswan.conf
- Adopted spec file, removed obsolete error range patch.

* The IKEv2 High Availability plugin has been integrated. It
provides load sharing and failover capabilities in a cluster of
currently two nodes, based on an extend ClusterIP kernel module.
More information is available at
http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/HighAvailability.
The development of the High Availability functionality was sponsored
by secunet Security Networks AG.
* Added IKEv1 and IKEv2 configuration support for the AES-GMAC
authentication-only ESP cipher. Our aes_gmac kernel patch or a Linux
2.6.34 kernel is required to make AES-GMAC available via the XFRM
kernel interface.
* Added support for Diffie-Hellman groups 22, 23 and 24 to the gmp,
gcrypt and openssl plugins, usable by both pluto and charon. The new
proposal keywords are modp1024s160, modp2048s224 and modp2048s256.
Thanks to Joy Latten from IBM for her contribution.
* The IKEv1 pluto daemon supports RAM-based virtual IP pools using
the rightsourceip directive with a subnet from which addresses
are allocated.
* The ipsec pki --gen and --pub commands now allow the output of
private and public keys in PEM format using the --outform pem
command line option.
* The new DHCP plugin queries virtual IP addresses for clients from
a DHCP server using broadcasts, or a defined server using the
charon.plugins.dhcp.server strongswan.conf option. DNS/WINS server
information is additionally served to clients if the DHCP server
provides such information. The plugin is used in ipsec.conf
configurations having rightsourceip set to %dhcp.
* A new plugin called farp fakes ARP responses for virtual IP
addresses handed out to clients from the IKEv2 daemon charon. The
plugin lets a road-warrior act as a client on the local LAN if it
uses a virtual IP from the responders subnet, e.g. acquired using
the DHCP plugin.
* The existing IKEv2 socket implementations have been migrated to
the socket-default and the socket-raw plugins. The new
socket-dynamic plugin binds sockets dynamically to ports configured
via the left-/rightikeport ipsec.conf connection parameters.
* The android charon plugin stores received DNS server information
as "net.dns" system properties, as used by the Android platform.
- Splitted package into strongswan-ipsec, that install the traditional
ipsec service starter scripts, -ikev1 and -ikev2 installing daemons
and -libs0, that contains the library and plugins.
- Enabled NetworkManager, dhcp, farp, ha and socket-dynamic plugins,
with NetworkManager plugin in a separate strongswan-nm package.
