+- The new aesni plugin provides CBC, CTR, XCBC, CMAC, CCM and GCM crypto
+  primitives for AES-128/192/256. The plugin requires AES-NI and PCLMULQDQ
+  instructions and works on both x86 and x64 architectures. It provides
+  superior crypto performance in userland without any external libraries.

+- Support for "Signature Authentication in IKEv2" (RFC 7427) has been added.
+  This allows the use of stronger hash algorithms for public key authentication.
+  By default, signature schemes are chosen based on the strength of the

+- Key types and hash algorithms specified in rightauth are now also checked

+  don't support RFC 7427, it may be necessary to disable this feature with the
