+strongswan-4.6.0
+----------------
+
+- The new libstrongswan certexpire plugin collects expiration information of
+ all used certificates and exports them to CSV files. It either directly
+ exports them or uses cron style scheduling for batch exports.
+
+- starter passes unresolved hostnames to charon, allowing it to do name
+ resolution not before the connection attempt. This is especially useful with
+ connections between hosts using dynamic IP addresses. Thanks to Mirko Parthey
+ for the initial patch.
+
+- The libstrongswan plugin system now supports detailed plugin dependencies.
+ Many plugins have been extended to export its capabilities and requirements.
+ This allows the plugin loader to resolve plugin loading order automatically,
+ and in future releases, to dynamically load the required features on demand.
+ Existing third party plugins are source (but not binary) compatible if they
+ properly initialize the new get_features() plugin function to NULL.
