strongswan-5.7.0
----------------
- Dots are not allowed anymore in section names in swanctl.conf and
strongswan.conf. This mainly affects the configuration of file loggers. If the
path for such a log file contains dots it now has to be configured in the new
`path` setting within the arbitrarily renamed subsection in the `filelog`
section.
- Sections in swanctl.conf and strongswan.conf may now reference other sections.
All settings and subsections from such a section are inherited. This allows
to simplify configs as redundant information has only to be specified once
and may then be included in other sections (refer to the example in the man
page for strongswan.conf).
- The originally selected IKE config (based on the IPs and IKE version) can now
change if no matching algorithm proposal is found. This way the order
of the configs doesn't matter that much anymore and it's easily possible to
specify separate configs for clients that require weak algorithms (instead
of having to also add them in other configs that might be selected).
- Support for Postquantum Preshared Keys for IKEv2 (draft-ietf-ipsecme-qr-ikev2)
has been added.
- The new botan plugin is a wrapper around the Botan C++ crypto library. It
requires a fairly recent build from Botan's master branch (or the upcoming
2.8.0 release). Thanks to René Korthaus and his team from Rohde & Schwarz
Cybersecurity for the initial patch.
- The pki tool accepts a xmppAddr otherName as a subjectAlternativeName using
the syntax --san xmppaddr:<jid>.

- Support for version 2 of Intel's TPM2-TSS TGC Software Stack. The presence of
the in-kernel /dev/tpmrm0 resource manager is automatically detected.
- Marks the in- and/or outbound SA should apply to packets after processing may
be configured in swanctl.conf on Linux. For outbound SAs this requires at
least a 4.14 kernel. Setting a mask and configuring a mark/mask for inbound
SAs will be added with the upcoming 4.19 kernel.
- New options in swanctl.conf allow configuring how/whether DF, ECN and DS
fields in the IP headers are copied during IPsec processing. Controlling this
is currently only possible on Linux.
- To avoid conflicts, the dhcp plugin now only uses the DHCP server port if
explicitly configured.
