Late breaking news! The website catches up with the software!
Two weeks ago the Linux FreeS/WAN team shipped version 1.9 which is
mostly a catch up release, catching up with the current kernel
stable releases and FreeS/WAN bug fixes. There are known minor
problems with this release (as allways see the BUGS and CHANGES
files for details), so don't upgrade unless your having problems.
If your starting from scratch do use this release though. As
allways start from the "Online Documentation" link above and then
the "FreeS/WAN Download" link.

Due to a tragedy of errors the <linux-ipsec@clinet.fi> email
list has been moved to <linux-ipsec@freeswan.org>. To subscribe
or unsubscribe please send email to <linux-ipsec-request@freeswan.org>
and NOT to the list it's self, as there is no mail list robot to
filter out such posts from the list and thus you will be embarrassed.
This is a tempory setup, in a couple of days we will be movig the list to some sort of list management software (robot) on the same machine. This should cause much less fuss then the move today and be very stable over the long run.

Linux FreeS/WAN 1.4 is out and on the FTP site, grab it. As of
this date (two weeks after the tar went public) there are known bugs
in both Pluto and AH mode. We hope that 1.5 comes out yet this
month to fix these bugs. Even with known bugs 1.4 is the current
stable release and we recommend using it or if the bugs bite you the
current snapshot.

Today the Linux FreeS/WAN Project team shipped freeswan-1.3 with
improved RSA and Road Warrior support! For details on what has
been improved see the Online Documentation page above
and to get the latest version goto the FreeS/WAN Download page,
also above.
Another long overdue happening is that the web site is getting some work done to it. The 'home' page is no longer an introduction to what the project is but the most recent news (this) and the current software status (above on the right). A couple of sections have been added (Introduction, Lights) and most will get worked on over the comming weeks. If you have suggestions or content to contribute plese post to the list (see Maillist & Archives above).
