New Features:

1. New design for the Connection Panel. This new design improves VPN Client
user experience by simplifying the management of VPN connections. The New
Connection Panel is fully configurable via a dedicated management window
which enables to create, rename and sort VPN connections.
2. Added a verification of the gateway certificate subject (SSL).
3. Using WiFi networks sometimes requires a local authentication (via a captive
portal). For users using the GINA Mode (VPN Connection before Windows
logon), the VPN Client implements a new browsing window which allows the
authentication on the captive portal before opening the tunnel.
4. Always-on: automatically re-opens tunnel when DPD timeout is detected.
5. New certificate selection criteria: It is possible to configure a pattern to be
found in the certificate subject.
6. Always-on: automatically re-opens tunnel when remote network is no longer
accessible.
7. "No Split DNS": Ability to force the physical DNS server address to the value
of the Virtual DNS Server address. This function solves communication
slowness and confidentiality problems.
8. "No Split Tunneling": Ability to disable default route on physical interface for
all, in tunnel configurations.
9. New "/closeall" command line option (close all tunnels).
10. New "/resetike" command line option.
11. Mode Config / Mode CP: Support of Virtual network size sent by the gateway
(by default /24 when not specified).
12. Option to check the gateway certificate CRL in addition to its signature.
13. Copy / paste of IKEv2 and SSL configurations.
14. Support of UTF-8 character encoding for X-Auth password (requires a specific
configuration).

Bug Fixes:

1. Corrected management of the virtual interface MTU.

2. The Configuration Panel and the Connection Panel might appear
simultaneously.
3. Correction of the font in the activation window.
4. Changing language led to address type duplication (in Child SA configuration).
5. Deleting a ChildSA among N led to the alert: "An invalid argument was
encountered".
6. X-Auth Popup: Passwords containing ";" were not properly handled.
7. A SA was closed too early when the lifetime is set in Kbytes from the Gateway.
8. Improvement of the certificate subject parsing.
 9. Support of certificates containing multiple subject alter names (IKEv1).
