+strongswan-5.5.2
+----------------
+
+- Support of Diffie-Hellman group 31 using Curve25519 for IKE as defined
+  by RFC 8031.
+
+- Support of Ed25519 digital signature algorithm for IKEv2 as defined by
+  draft-ietf-ipsecme-eddsa. Ed25519-based public key pairs, X.509 certificates
+  and CRLs can be generated and printed by the pki tool.
+
+- The new "tpm" libtpmtss plugin allows to use persistent private RSA and ECDSA
+  keys bound to a TPM 2.0 for both IKE and TLS authentication. Using the
+  TPM 2.0 object handle as keyid parameter, the pki --pub tool can extract
+  the public key from the TPM thereby replacing the aikpub2 tool. In a similar
+  fashion pki --req can generate a PKCS#10 certificate request signed with
+  the TPM private key.
+
+- The pki tool gained support for generating certificates with the RFC 3779
+  addrblock extension. The charon addrblock plugin now dynamically narrows
+  traffic selectors based on the certificate addrblocks instead of rejecting
+  non-matching selectors completely. This allows generic connections, where
+  the allowed selectors are defined by the used certificates only.
+
+- In-place update of cached base and delta CRLs does not leave dozens
+  of stale copies in cache memory.
+
+- Several new features for the VICI interface and the swanctl utility: Querying
+  specific pools, enumerating and unloading keys and shared secrets, loading
+  keys and certificates from PKCS#11 tokens, the ability to initiate, install
+  and uninstall connections and policies by their exact name (if multiple child
+  sections in different connections share the same name), a command to initiate
+  the rekeying of IKE and IPsec SAs, support for settings previously only
+  supported by the old config files (plain pubkeys, dscp, certificate policies,
+  IPv6 Transport Proxy Mode, NT Hash secrets, mediation extension).
+
+  Important:  Due to issues with VICI bindings that map sub-sections to
+  dictionaries the CHILD_SA sections returned via list-sas now have a unique
+  name, the original name of a CHILD_SA is returned in the "name" key of its
+  section.
