Bug Fixes

BZ#696946
Prior to this update, it was possible to enter an incorrect IP address into the gateway field and it was sometimes interpreted as a gateway hostname. With this update, the code has been improved to validate IP addresses. As a result, valid IPv4 addresses, as well as hostnames, are more reliably distinguished.
BZ#748365
NetworkManager-openswan was not able to import configuration files that were previously exported using NetworkManager. This release adds support for this functionality and importing Openswan IPsec configuration files is now possible using NetworkManager.
All users of NetworkManager-openswan are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
