+strongswan-5.2.0
+----------------
+
+- strongSwan has been ported to the Windows platform. Using a MinGW toolchain,
+ many parts of the strongSwan codebase run natively on Windows 7 / 2008 R2
+ and newer releases. charon-svc implements a Windows IKE service based on
+ libcharon, the kernel-iph and kernel-wfp plugins act as networking and IPsec
+ backend on the Windows platform. socket-win provides a native IKE socket
+ implementation, while winhttp fetches CRL and OCSP information using the
+ WinHTTP API.
+
+- The new vici plugin provides a Versatile IKE Configuration Interface for
+ charon. Using the stable IPC interface, external applications can configure,
+ control and monitor the IKE daemon. Instead of scripting the ipsec tool
+ and generating ipsec.conf, third party applications can use the new interface
+ for more control and better reliability.
+
+- Built upon the libvici client library, swanctl implements the first user of
+ the VICI interface. Together with a swanctl.conf configuration file,
+ connections can be defined, loaded and managed. swanctl provides a portable,
+ complete IKE configuration and control interface for the command line.
+ The first six swanctl example scenarios have been added.
+
+- The SWID IMV implements a JSON-based REST API which allows the exchange
+ of SWID tags and Software IDs with the strongTNC policy manager.
+
+- The SWID IMC can extract all installed packages from the dpkg (Debian,
+ Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.), rpm (Fedora, RedHat, OpenSUSE, etc.), or
+ pacman (Arch Linux, Manjaro, etc.) package managers, respectively, using the
+ swidGenerator (https://github.com/strongswan/swidGenerator) which generates
+ SWID tags according to the new ISO/IEC 19770-2:2014 standard.
+
+- All IMVs now share the access requestor ID, device ID and product info
+ of an access requestor via a common imv_session object.
+
+- The Attestation IMC/IMV pair supports the IMA-NG measurement format
+ introduced with the Linux 3.13 kernel.
+
+- The aikgen tool generates an Attestation Identity Key bound to a TPM.
+
+- Implemented the PT-EAP transport protocol (RFC 7171) for Trusted Network
+ Connect.
+
+- The ipsec.conf replay_window option defines connection specific IPsec replay
+ windows. Original patch courtesy of Zheng Zhong and Christophe Gouault from
+ 6Wind.
