[Astlinux-users] AstLinux Pre-Release: astlinux-1.4-5001-4341d2 (Release Candidate1 pre-1.4.1)

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Release Candidate1 pre-1.4.1, please report any issues, ASAP.

The next AstLinux version will be 1.4.1, most notably switching to the Linux kernel 4.19.x LTS series.

** IMPORTANT NOTICE

-- The ipsec-tools (racoon) support in AstLinux is deprecated, and will be removed in the near future.
	The development of ipsec-tools has been ABANDONED.
	The Network tab -> VPN Type: "IPsec Peers" and "IPsec Mobile" is the web interface configuration for ipsec-tools.
	The AstLinux Team suggests using either WireGuard or OpenVPN for your VPN needs, but if IPsec is required for
	compatibility reasons the Network tab -> VPN Type: "IPsec strongSwan" should be able to do what you want,
	albeit in a less than ideal text based configuration.
	More info: https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:tt_ipsec_vpn_strongswan
