+----------------

+- Support of SHA2_384 hash function for protecting IKEv1
+  negotiations and support of SHA2 signatures in X.509 certificates.
+
+- Fixed a serious bug in the computation of the SHA2-512 HMAC
+  function. Introduced automatic self-test of all IKEv1 hash
+  and hmac functions during pluto startup. Failure of a self-test
+  currently issues a warning only but does not exit pluto [yet].
