+- The new server-side EAP RADIUS plugin (--enable-eap-radius)
+  relays EAP messages to and from a RADIUS server. Succesfully
+  tested with with a freeradius server using EAP-MD5 and EAP-SIM.

+- A vulnerability in the Dead Peer Detection (RFC 3706) code was found by
+  Gerd v. Egidy <gerd.von.egidy@intra2net.com> of Intra2net AG affecting
+  all Openswan and strongSwan releases. A malicious (or expired ISAKMP)
+  R_U_THERE or R_U_THERE_ACK Dead Peer Detection packet can cause the
+  pluto IKE daemon to crash and restart. No authentication or encryption
+  is required to trigger this bug. One spoofed UDP packet can cause the
+  pluto IKE daemon to restart and be unresponsive for a few seconds while
+  restarting. This DPD null state vulnerability has been officially
+  registered as CVE-2009-0790 and is fixed by this release.
+
+- ASN.1 to time_t conversion caused a time wrap-around for
+  dates after Jan 18 03:14:07 UTC 2038 on 32-bit platforms.
+  As a workaround such dates are set to the maximum representable
+  time, i.e. Jan 19 03:14:07 UTC 2038.
+
+- Distinguished Names containing wildcards (*) are not sent in the
+  IDr payload anymore.
