What's Changed

• Workaround to make vgauth service run on Solaris no matter OpenSSL system version. Currently using embedded LibreSSL 4.1.0 as a static library to prevent using system OpenSSL. I hope I will find a better solution in a future version.

Known issues

• Compiling source code on latests Solaris SRU versions using gcc 13 may result in broken vmxnet3s driver. A kernel panic will occur at system startup if you use such driver. Compiling with older versions using gcc 11 is OK. Provided binaries in this release have been compiled with gcc 11.2.0. Still investigating on this issue...
