This release contains a few important fixes. With NETKEY it fixes the "cannot
reconnect" issue some people were seeing. The MAST stack has been updated. Anyone
using the MAST stack should also upgrade the corresponding SAref patch, as the
API changed slightly.

As always, please use http://bugs.openswan.org/ to report bugs, or
discuss issues on users at openswan.org or dev at openswan.org. Or linger
at FreeNode's #openswan / #openswan-dev
