The Libreswan Project has released libreswan-3.6. This is a feature
and bugfix release.

A few new options have been introduced to enhance compatibility -
cisco_unity=, modecfg_banner=, modecfg_domain, ike_pad=, priority=,
reqid= and statsbin= See man page for details.

KLIPS is now supported up to Linux kernel 3.11. NETKEY error handling
has been improved handling replacing SA's. FIPS code has been updated
to comply with new requirements and Labeled IPsec support was repaired.

The default new raw RSA keysize has been increase to 3072-4096 bits.

Various cleanup including some compile time options that are now always
included. Stale and unused code was removed.  Blowfish support was removed
(use twofish instead).

openrc init system support has been added.
