What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
strongswan security update (version 5.0.4):
· The strongswan team released version 5.0.4, which fixes an authentication bypass for certificates that use Elliptic Curves. As we don’t use them in IPFire by default, this is not a too serious issue for us, but we still updated the strongswan package.
· The update also contains some changes that fix unstable IPsec connections, a minority of users was experiencing.
OpenVPN roadwarrior connections:
· Since Core Update 65, disabling OpenVPN roadwarrior connections had no effect, so that users could still connect. This has also been fixed with this release.
New status bar:
· The web user interface comes with a new status bar which now has a cleaner design and provides more information. Thanks to Jörn-Ingo Weigert for working on this.
Sortable connection tracking list:
· The connection list on the web user interface is now sortable in every possible way. Patches have been sent by Kay-Michael Köhler.
Misc. changes:
· Network modules have been added to the installer, so PXE installations work again.
· Installation with certain USB keyboards is now possible, because kernel modules have been added to the installer.
· The broken monospace font in graphs on the web interface has been fixed.
· The kernel module for Intel’s MEI chipsets has been blacklisted, because the buggy modules causes some Supermicro hardware to fail shutting down or to freeze on booting up.
· sysbench has been added as new package. It’s a system benchmark tool for command line.
