I am happy to announce GnuTLS 1.6.3! 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. Warning! GnuTLS uses OpenCDK for OpenPGP parsing. Recently, a new branch of OpenCDK has been released by Timo as 0.6.x. Unfortunately, the new branch is not backwards API/ABI compatible with the old 0.5.x branch. The stable branch of GnuTLS do not support the newer OpenCDK 0.6.x releases. To be able to build GnuTLS 1.6.x, you must use OpenCDK 0.5.x instead of 0.6.x. Alternatively, use the ./configure parameter --with-included-opencdk to use the included copy of OpenCDK 0.5.13 for building GnuTLS, or the --disable-openpgp-authentication parameter to disable OpenPGP altogether. * Version 1.6.3 (released 2007-05-26) ** New API functions to extract DER encoded X.509 Subject/Issuer DN. Suggested by Nate Nielsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Backported From the 1.7.x branch, see <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnutls/2007-05/msg00029.html>. ** Have PKCS8 parser return better error codes. Reported by Nate Nielsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, see <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001653.html> and <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001654.html>. ** Fix mem leak for sessions with client authentication via certificates. Reported by Andrew W. Nosenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, see <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-April/001539.html>. ** Fix building of 'tlsia' self test. Earlier some gcc are known to build tlsia linking to $prefix/lib/libgnutls-extra.so rather than the libgnutls-extra.so in the build directory, even though command line parameters look OK. Changing order of some parameters fixes it. ** API and ABI modifications: gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn: ADD. gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_dn: ADD. 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. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
