Added news for 5.5.0


Version 5.5.0

  • The new libtpmtss library offers support for both TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 Trusted Platform Modules.
    This allows the Attestation IMC/IMV pair to do TPM 2.0 based attestation.
  • The behavior during IKEv2 exchange collisions has been improved/fixed in several corner cases
    and support for TEMPORARY_FAILURE and CHILD_SA_NOT_FOUND notifies, as defined by RFC 7296,
    has been added (#379, #464, #876, #1293). The behavior is tested with a series of new unit tests.
  • IPsec policy priorities can be set manually (e.g. for high-priority drop policies) and outbound
    policies may be restricted to a network interface. These options are only configurable via swanctl.conf.
    An example is provided in the swanctl/manual-prio scenario.
  • The scheme for the automatically calculated default priorities has been changed and now also
    considers port masks, which were added with 5.4.0 (for details see commit:d3af3b799f).
  • FWD policies are now installed in both directions in regards to the traffic selectors (commit:9c12635252).
    Because such "outbound" FWD policies could conflict with "inbound" FWD policies of other SAs (as, for
    example, in the swanctl/net2net-gw or the ikev2/ip-two-pools-db scenarios) they are installed
    with a lower priority and don't have a reqid set, which allows kernel plugins to distinguish between the
    two and prefer those with a reqid.
  • For outbound IPsec SAs no replay window is configured anymore.
  • When using unique marks (mark=%unique) the allocated mark is now correctly passed to the
    updown script (commit:b210369314).
  • Fixed an interoperability issue with Windows Server 2012 R2 gateways after modifying the default IKE
    proposal with 5.4.0 (commit:fae18fd201, also explained in the changelog of the Android app).
  • DNS servers installed by the resolve plugin are now refcounted, which should fix its use with
    make-before-break reauthentication. Any output written to stderr/stdout by resolvconf is now logged.
  • Negotiation of ESN with IKEv1 is supported (commit:40bb4677f7).
  • The default plugin load list may now be modified by specifying the individual load setting of a plugin.
  • Fixed how mappings are stored in the eap-simaka-pseudonym plugin (commit:5005325020).
  • Support for BoringSSL and OpenSSL 1.1.0 has been added.
  • Notes for developers:
    • The methods in the kernel interfaces have been changed to take structs instead of long lists of arguments.
    • Similarly the constructors for peer_cfg_t and child_cfg_t now take structs.
    • We now use the standard unsigned integer types (e.g. uint64_t instead of u_int64_t).
    • The testing environment now uses images based on Debian jessie (stable).
