+strongswan-5.8.2
+----------------
+
+- Identity-based CA constraints are supported via vici/swanctl.conf. They
+ enforce that the remote's certificate chain contains a CA certificate with a
+ specific identity. While similar to the existing CA constraints, they don't
+ require that the CA certificate is locally installed such as intermediate CA
+ certificates received from peers. Compared to wildcard identity matching (e.g.
+ "..., OU=Research, CN=*") this requires less trust in the intermediate CAs (to
+ only issue certificates with legitimate subject DNs) as long as path length
+ basic constraints prevent them from issuing further intermediate CAs.
+
+- Intermediate CA certificates may now be sent in hash-and-URL encoding by
+ configuring a base URL for the parent CA.
+
+- Implemented NIST SP-800-90A Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG)
+ based on AES-CTR and SHA2-HMAC modes. Currently used by gmp and ntru plugins.
+
+- Random nonces sent in an OCSP requests are now expected in the corresponding
+ OCSP responses.
+
+- The kernel-netlink plugin ignores deprecated IPv6 addresses for MOBIKE.
+ Whether temporary or permanent IPv6 addresses are included depends on the
+ charon.prefer_temporary_addrs setting.
+
+- Extended Sequence Numbers (ESN) are configured via PF_KEY if supported by the
+ kernel.
+
+- Unique section names are used for CHILD_SAs in vici child-updown events and
+ more information (e.g. statistics) are included for individually deleted
+ CHILD_SAs (in particular for IKEv1).
+
+- So fallbacks to other plugins work properly, creating HMACs via openssl plugin
+ now fails instantly if the underlying hash algorithm isn't supported (e.g.
+ MD5 in FIPS-mode).
+
+- Exponents of RSA keys read from TPM 2.0 via SAPI are now correctly converted.
+
+- Routing table IDs > 255 are supported for custom routes on Linux.
+
+- The D-Bus config file for charon-nm is now installed in
+ $(datadir)/dbus-1/system.d instead of $(sysconfdir)/dbus-1/system.d.
+
+- INVALID_MAJOR_VERSION notifies are now correctly sent in messages of the same
+ exchange type and using the same message ID as the request.
+
+- IKEv2 SAs are immediately destroyed when sending or receiving INVALID_SYNTAX
+ notifies in authenticated messages.
+
+
+strongswan-5.8.1
+----------------
+
+- RDNs in Distinguished Names can now optionally be matched less strict. The
+ global option charon.rdn_matching takes two alternative values that cause the
+ matching algorithm to either ignore the order of matched RDNs or additionally
+ accept DNs that contain more RDNs than configured (unmatched RDNs are treated
+ like wildcard matches).
+
+- The updown plugin now passes the same interface to the script that is also
+ used for the automatically installed routes, i.e. the interface over which the
+ peer is reached instead of the interface on which the local address is found.
+
+- TPM 2.0 contexts are now protected by a mutex to prevent issues if multiple
+ IKE_SAs use the same private key concurrently.
+
+
+strongswan-5.8.0
+----------------
+
+- The systemd service units have been renamed. The modern unit, which was called
+ strongswan-swanctl, is now called strongswan (the previous name is configured
+ as alias). The legacy unit is now called strongswan-starter.
+
+- Support for XFRM interfaces (available since Linux 4.19) has been added.
+ Configuration is possible via swanctl.conf. Interfaces may be created
+ dynamically via updown/vici scripts, or statically before or after
+ establishing the SAs. Routes must be added manually as needed (the daemon will
+ not install any routes for outbound policies with an interface ID).
+
+- Initiation of childless IKE_SAs is supported (RFC 6023). If enabled and
+ supported by the responder, no CHILD_SA is established during IKE_AUTH. This
+ allows using a separate DH exchange even for the first CHILD_SA, which is
+ otherwise created with keys derived from the IKE_SA's key material.
+
+- The NetworkManager backend and plugin support IPv6.
+
+- The new wolfssl plugin is a wrapper around the wolfSSL crypto library. Thanks
+ to Sean Parkinson of wolfSSL Inc. for the initial patch.
+
+- IKE SPIs may optionally be labeled via the charon.spi_mask|label options. This
+ feature was extracted from charon-tkm, however, now applies the mask/label in
+ network order.
+
+- The openssl plugin supports ChaCha20-Poly1305 when built with OpenSSL 1.1.0.
+
+- The PB-TNC finite state machine according to section 3.2 of RFC 5793 was not
+ correctly implemented when sending either a CRETRY or SRETRY batch. These
+ batches can only be sent in the "Decided" state and a CRETRY batch can
+ immediately carry all messages usually transported by a CDATA batch. It is
+ currently not possible to send a SRETRY batch since full-duplex mode for
+ PT-TLS transport is not supported.
+
+- Instead of marking virtual IPv6 addresses as deprecated, the kernel-netlink
+ plugin uses address labels to avoid their use for non-VPN traffic.
+
+- The agent plugin creates sockets to the ssh/gpg-agent dynamically and does not
+ keep them open, which otherwise can prevent the agent from getting terminated.
+
+- To avoid broadcast loops the forecast plugin now only reinjects packets that
+ are marked or received from the configured interface.
+
+- UTF-8 encoded passwords are supported via EAP-MSCHAPv2, which internally uses
+ an UTF-16LE encoding to calculate the NT hash.
+
+- Adds the build-certs script to generate the keys and certificates used for
+ regression tests dynamically. They are built with the pki version installed
+ in the KVM root image so it's not necessary to have an up-to-date version with
+ all required plugins installed on the host system.
+
+
+strongswan-5.7.2
+----------------
+
+- Private key implementations may optionally provide a list of supported
+ signature schemes, which is used by the tpm plugin because for each key on a
+ TPM 2.0 the hash algorithm and for RSA also the padding scheme is predefined.
+
+- For RSA with PSS padding, the TPM 2.0 specification mandates the maximum salt
+ length (as defined by the length of the key and hash). However, if the TPM is
+ FIPS-168-4 compliant, the salt length equals the hash length. This is assumed
+ for FIPS-140-2 compliant TPMs, but if that's not the case, it might be
+ necessary to manually enable charon.plugins.tpm.fips_186_4 if the TPM doesn't
+ use the maximum salt length.
+
+- swanctl now accesses directories for credentials relative to swanctl.conf, in
+ particular, when it's loaded from a custom location via --file argument. The
+ base directory that's used if --file is not given is configurable at runtime
+ via SWANCTL_DIR environment variable.
+
+- With RADIUS Accounting enabled, the eap-radius plugin adds the session ID to
+ Access-Request messages, simplifying associating database entries for IP
+ leases and accounting with sessions.
+
+- IPs assigned by RADIUS servers are included in Accounting-Stop even if clients
+ don't claim them, allowing releasing them early on connection errors.
+
+- Selectors installed on transport mode SAs by the kernel-netlink plugin are
+ updated on IP address changes (e.g. via MOBIKE).
+
+- Added support for RSA signatures with SHA-256 and SHA-512 to the agent plugin.
+ For older versions of ssh/gpg-agent that only support SHA-1, IKEv2 signature
+ authentication has to be disabled via charon.signature_authentication.
+
+- The sshkey and agent plugins support Ed25519/Ed448 SSH keys and signatures.
+
+- The openssl plugin supports X25519/X448 Diffie-Hellman and Ed25519/Ed448 keys
+ and signatures when built against OpenSSL 1.1.1.
+
+- Ed25519, ChaCha20/Poly1305, SHA-3 and AES-CCM were added to the botan plugin.
+
+- The mysql plugin now properly handles database connections with transactions
+ under heavy load.
+
+- IP addresses in HA pools are now distributed evenly among all segments.
+
+- On newer FreeBSD kernels, the kernel-pfkey plugin reads the reqid directly
+ from SADB_ACQUIRE messages, i.e. not requiring previous policy installation by
+ the plugin, e.g. for compatibility with if_ipsec(4) VTIs.

incomplete state which caused a null pointer dereference if a subsequent
CREATE_CHILD_SA request was sent. 2) Sending an IKE_AUTH request with either
