I am happy to announce GnuTLS 1.6.2! This is a bugfix-only release on the stable branch. This version is what we recommend for those who need a stable version of GnuTLS.
GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network applications. GnuTLS is developed for GNU/Linux, but works on many Unix-like systems and comes with a binary installer for Windows. * Version 1.6.2 (released 2007-04-18) ** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields. Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear to be consistent with other widely used implementations. ** Regenerate the PKIX ASN.1 syntax tree. For some reason, after changing the ASN.1 type of ldap-UID in the last release, the generated C file built from the ASN.1 schema was not refreshed. This can cause problems when reading/writing UID components inside X.500 Distinguished Names. Reported by devel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. ** Updated translations. ** API and ABI modifications: No changes since last version. Improving GnuTLS is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find GnuTLS useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money or equipment. Commercial support contracts for GnuTLS are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GnuTLS maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development projects.
