[Announce] Openswan 2.4.9 Released

[Paul Wouters]

Xelerance releases Openswan-2.4.9

This is a minor bugfix release.

The official recommendation for openswan 2.4.9 is to use a
2.4.x kernel or a 2.6.18.x kernel. If you need a newer kernel, please
use openswan 2.5.x.

As always, the GPG signed source code is available via web and ftp:

http://www.openswan.org/code/
ftp://ftp.openswan.org/

Since this release was focussed on fixing several openwrt issues, we
also released a binary package for openwrt, tested on a Linksys WRTG54gs
with whiterussian, and apparently running fine on kamikaze:
