 strongswan-5.4.0
 ----------------
 
+- Support for IKEv2 redirection (RFC 5685) has been added.  Plugins may
+  implement the redirect_provider_t interface to decide if and when to redirect
+  connecting clients.  It is also possible to redirect established IKE_SAs based
+  on different selectors via VICI/swanctl.  Unless disabled in strongswan.conf
+  the charon daemon will follow redirect requests received from servers.
+
 - For the vici plugin a Vici:Session Perl CPAN module has been added to allow
   Perl applications to control and/or monitor the IKE daemon using the VICI
   interface, similar to the existing Python egg or Ruby gem.
