constraints against IKEv2 authentication in rightauth, which allows the use
of different signature schemes for trustchain verification and authentication.
+- The initiator of an IKEv2 make-before-break reauthentication now suspends
+ online certificate revocation checks (OCSP, CRLs) until the new IKE_SA and all
+ CHILD_SAs are established. This is required if the checks are done over the
+ CHILD_SA established with the new IKE_SA. This is not possible until the
+ initiator installs this SA and that only happens after the authentication is
+ completed successfully. So we suspend the checks during the reauthentication
+ and do them afterwards, if they fail the IKE_SA is closed. This change has no
+ effect on the behavior during the authentication of the initial IKE_SA.

- For the vici plugin a Vici:Session Perl CPAN module has been added to allow
Perl applications to control and/or monitor the IKE daemon using the VICI
interface, similar to the existing Python egg or Ruby gem.
