 - Support for "Signature Authentication in IKEv2" (RFC 7427) has been added.
  This allows the use of stronger hash algorithms for public key authentication.
  By default, signature schemes are chosen based on the strength of the
  signature key, but specific hash algorithms may be configured in leftauth.
 - Key types and hash algorithms specified in rightauth are now also checked
  against IKEv2 signature schemes.  If such constraints are used for certificate
  chain validation in existing configurations, in particular with peers that
  don't support RFC 7427, it may be necessary to disable this feature with the
  charon.signature_authentication_constraints setting, because the signature
  scheme used in classic IKEv2 public key authentication may not be strong
  enough.
 - The new connmark plugin allows a host to bind conntrack flows to a specific
  CHILD_SA by applying and restoring the SA mark to conntrack entries. This
  allows a peer to handle multiple transport mode connections coming over the
