I'm happy to announce the first release of Libtasn1 as an official GNU project.
GNU Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1 objects including DER/BER encoding/decoding. Libtasn1 is used by GnuTLS to parse and generate X.509 structures and by Shishi to parse and generate Kerberos V5 structures. * Noteworthy changes in release 2.3 (2009-07-29) [stable] - Libtasn1 is now an official GNU project. - Solve build problem on Tru64 related to TRUE/FALSE. - More careful decoding of OIDs. - Fixed warning in ASN1.y. - Use "Software libraries" info dircategory. - Drop GPL/LGPL copies from the manual (not needed there). - New configure parameters to set packaging specific information. The parameters are --with-packager, --with-packager-version, and --with-packager-bug-reports. See <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/17791> for more details. Commercial support contracts for Libtasn1 are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult AB, a Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding Libtasn1 maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development projects. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
