+strongswan (5.6.1-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+ Starting 5.6.1, several algorithms were removed from the default ESP/AH and
+ IKEv2 proposals in compliance with RFC 8221[1] and RFC 8247[2],
+ respectively.
+ .
+ Removed from the default ESP/AH proposal were the 3DES and Blowfish
+ encryption algorithms and the HMAC-MD5 integrity algorithm.
+ .
+ From the IKEv2 default proposal the HMAC-MD5 integrity algorithm and the
+ MODP-1024 Diffie-Hellman group were removed (the latter is significant for
+ Windows clients in their default configuration).
+ .
+ These algorithms may still be used in custom proposals and MODP-2048 can be
+ enabled manually on Windows 7 clients [3].
+ .
