        This is the 13th release of Super FreeS/WAN, version 1.99_kb3

Super FreeS/WAN is a largely patched up version of FreeS/WAN (www.freeswan.org)
with support for all sorts of addtional features that aren't considered
mainline,
or haven't been tested enough for the FreeS/WAN developers to accept into the
mainline branch.

Think of it as the -ac branch of the Linux Kernel.  Cool new toys that aren't
tested well enough for "production use" land here first.  Then we beg the
developers to accept the patches until they get in (or so we hope!)

This version includes the following major patches:

X.509 0.9.19 (Now includes RFC 2401 IKE Port Selectors)
ALG 0.8.0 (All ciphers/hashes enabled)
Notify/Delete SA (020904 version)
NAT Traversal 0.5
MODP 768bit Phase 1 Support

As well, various bugfixes have been applied on top of these patches - for
a full list, see CHANGES.SUPERFS

This version of Super FreeS/WAN is made possible by patches from the
following folks:

Andreas Steffan - X.509 patches
Mathieu Lafon - Notify/DeleteSA, NAT Traversal
JuanJo Ciarlante - ALG patches
David De Reu - ALG fixes and MODP768 patch
Tom Hughes - RH 8.0 compile patch
Stephen Bevan - RFC 2409 port selectors patch (now included in X.509 patch
0.9.17)
Tuomo Soini - Extensive testing of NAT-T + RPM build processes
FreeS/WAN Team - v1.99 + providing me access to thier CVS tree to get bugfixes


Changelog:

_kb2 to _kb3
* Change Makefile's minstall target to "make modules" first, since when
  building against never-compiled kernel sources, make modules_install
  would fail due to various modules never having been built. (kb)
* Added X.509 patch 0.9.16 and 0.9.17 with Stephen Bevan's Port Selector
  (RFC 2401) patch, with various bugfixes by Andreas Steffan. (as/sb/kb)
* Added X.509 patch 0.9.18 diffs - bugfixes for port selectors by Andreas
* Various code-jiggery to make port selections not conflict with NAT-T
(kb/mlafon)
* Patched from NAT-T 0.4 -> 0.5  - Adds support for new NAT-T RFC, and changes
  proposal order so SSH Sentinel, FreeS/WAN and SafeNet SoftRemote.  This also
  includes bugfix that was part of _kb2 (mlafon/kb)
* NAT-T 0.5a (bugfix for floating ports) (mlafon)
* Added X.509 0.9.19 patch diffs (as/kb)
