 strongswan-5.0.0
 ----------------
 - Charon's bus_t has been refactored so that loggers and other listeners are
  now handled separately.  The single lock was previously cause for deadlocks
  if extensive listeners, such as the one provided by the updown plugin, wanted
  to acquire locks that were held by other threads which in turn tried to log
  messages, and thus were waiting to acquire the same lock currently held by
  the thread calling the listener.
  The implemented changes also allow the use of a read/write-lock for the
  loggers which increases performance if multiple loggers are registered.
  Besides several interface changes this last bit also changes the semantics
  for loggers as these may now be called by multiple threads at the same time.
