* Several performance improvements to handle thousands of tunnels with almost
4 3 Tobias Brunner
  linear upscaling. All relevant data structures have been replaced by faster
5 3 Tobias Brunner
  counterparts with better lookup times.
6 3 Tobias Brunner
7 3 Tobias Brunner
* Better parallelization to run charon on multiple cores. Due to improved
8 3 Tobias Brunner
  ressource locking and other optimizations the daemon can take full
9 3 Tobias Brunner
  advantage of 16 or even more cores.
10 3 Tobias Brunner
11 3 Tobias Brunner
* The load-tester plugin can use a NULL Diffie-Hellman group and simulate
12 3 Tobias Brunner
  unique identities and certificates by signing peer certificates using a CA
13 3 Tobias Brunner
  on the fly.
14 3 Tobias Brunner
15 3 Tobias Brunner
* The redesigned stroke in-memory IP pool handles leases. The "ipsec leases"
16 3 Tobias Brunner
  command queries assigned leases.
17 3 Tobias Brunner
18 3 Tobias Brunner
* Added support for smartcards in charon by using the ENGINE API provided by
19 3 Tobias Brunner
  OpenSSL, based on patches by Michael Roßberg.

21 3 Tobias Brunner
* The Padlock plugin supports the hardware RNG found on VIA CPUs to provide a
