strongswan-4.5.0
----------------
+- IMPORTANT: the default keyexchange mode 'ike' is changing with release 4.5
+ from 'ikev1' to 'ikev2', thus commemorating the five year anniversary of the
+ IKEv2 RFC 4706 and its mature successor RFC 5996. The time has definitively
+ come for IKEv1 to go into retirement and to cede its place to the much more
+ robust, powerful and versatile IKEv2 protocol!

- Added new ctr, ccm and gcm plugins providing Counter, Counter with CBC-MAC
and Galois/Counter Modes based on existing CBC implementations. These
new plugins bring support for AES and Camellia Counter and CCM algorithms
