This is the second announcement of KAME stable release.

KAME packages are provided hoping that they will be reference
implementation for IPv6, IPsec and advanced internetworking features
on BSD variants. They are freely available without warranty.

As always, the stable packages are available from http://www.kame.net.

Here attached RELNOTES to sum up the differences from the first stable
release:

<<IPsec>>

- Tunnel mode IPsec is now ready (just for IPv4).
- IPsec becames fairly stable, thanks to interoperability test held
  between 7/29-30 at Keio University.
- Home-brew IKE daemon "racoon" appears.  We need some work to make it
  actually usable.
- Key management API is now PF_KEY version 2.

<<NDP>>

Input:
- Multiple prefixes are now properly handled.
- Default router list handling became more sophisticated.
- Timer handling became more sophisticated.
- Both prefix list and default router list are visible by "ndp".

Output:
- "rtadvd" now can handle multiple prefixes on one link. 
- "rtadvd"'s timer handling became more sophisticated. 
- "rtadvd" checks RA consistency.
- "rtadvd.conf" became easier-to-configure thanks to implicit default
  values.
- RAs are now generated with the source link-layer address option.

<<ICMPv6>>

- ICMPv6 redirect became acceptable.
- ICMPv6 error message is now generated against unknown header.

<<IPv6 API>>

- RAW IPv6 is now gained access from user space without IPv6 header to
  conform to Stevens's spec.
- "struct sockaddr_in6" contains indexes to conform the upcoming draft.
- "getaddrinfo" became more stable.
- "getnodeinfo" has been provided.

<<Userlands>>

- IPv6 support for fetch, lpd, and others.
- Enriched "port" collection including ALTQ, heimdal, IM, MRT, Perl5, SOCKS64,
  UCD SNMP, v6tun, and so forth.

<<Others>>

- For FreeBSD, ALTQ has been merged into the kernel.  ATM driver is replaced
  to one that came with ALTQ.
