We are proud to announce a new stable GnuTLS release: Version 2.10.5. GnuTLS is a modern C library that implements 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.
The GnuTLS library is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (or later). The "extra" GnuTLS library (which contains TLS/IA support, LZO compression and Libgcrypt FIPS-mode handler), the OpenSSL compatibility library, the self tests and the command line tools are all distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (or later). The manual is distributed under the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.3 (or later). The project page of the library is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ What's New ========== ** libgnutls: Corrected verification of finished messages. ** libgnutls: Corrected signature generation and verification in the Certificate Verify message when in TLS 1.2. Reported by Todd A. Ouska. ** pkg-config gnutls.pc improvements. The file uses 'Requires.private' for libtasn1 and libz when needed, instead of Libs.private. From Andreas Metzler. ** API and ABI modifications: No changes since last version. Getting the Software ==================== GnuTLS may be downloaded from one of the mirror sites or direct from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/>. The list of mirrors can be found at <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/download.html>. Here are the BZIP2 compressed sources (7.0MB): ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2 Here are OpenPGP detached signatures signed using key 0xB565716F: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2.sig http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2.sig Note, that we don't distribute gzip compressed tarballs. In order to check that the version of GnuTLS which you are going to install is an original and unmodified one, you should verify the OpenPGP signature. You can use the command gpg --verify gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2.sig This checks whether the signature file matches the source file. You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and made by that signing key. Make sure that you have the right key, either by checking the fingerprint of that key with other sources or by checking that the key has been signed by a trustworthy other key. The signing key can be identified with the following information: pub 1280R/B565716F 2002-05-05 [expires: 2011-03-30] Key fingerprint = 0424 D4EE 81A0 E3D1 19C6 F835 EDA2 1E94 B565 716F uid Simon Josefsson <j...@extundo.com> uid Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> sub 1280R/4D5D40AE 2002-05-05 [expires: 2011-03-30] The key is available from: http://josefsson.org/key.txt dns:b565716f.josefsson.org?TYPE=CERT Alternatively, after successfully verifying the OpenPGP signature of this announcement, you could verify that the files match the following checksum values. The values are for SHA-1 and SHA-224 respectively: 4530657082a0e754356de89a5529d1ad7a18e777 gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2 546e8631b68358cb495fcd6fd13274ba5a7370ef3848a459172d4370 gnutls-2.10.5.tar.bz2 Documentation ============= The manual is available online at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/documentation.html In particular the following formats are available: HTML: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/index.html PDF: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/gnutls.pdf For developers there is a GnuTLS API reference manual formatted using the GTK-DOC tools: HTML: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/reference/gnutls-gnutls.html PDF: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/reference/gnutls.pdf Community ========= If you need help to use GnuTLS, or want to help others, you are invited to join our help-gnutls mailing list, see: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls If you wish to participate in the development of GnuTLS, you are invited to join our gnutls-dev mailing list, see: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-devel Windows installer ================= GnuTLS has been ported to the Windows operating system, and a binary installer is available. The installer contains DLLs for application development, manuals, examples, and source code. The installer uses libgpg-error v1.8, libgcrypt v1.4.6, and GnuTLS v2.10.5. The Windows binary installer: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5-x86.exe (16MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5-x86.exe.sig (OpenPGP) The checksum values for SHA-1 and SHA-224 are: 85bed4c33f50941f62560275a485c942dd7e5645 gnutls-2.10.5-x86.exe 915c7b1fb53b8a4f22fcd526c0ccb8ea021709040d180f61b9914fc4 gnutls-2.10.5-x86.exe A ZIP archive containing the Windows binaries: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5-x86.zip (5.8MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.5-x86.zip.sig (OpenPGP) A Debian mingw32 package is also available: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/mingw32-gnutls_2.10.5-1_all.deb (5.3MB) The checksum values for SHA-1 and SHA-224 are: 73ee95cf76f2fcfc04fc44c3750776cbac53fe29 mingw32-gnutls_2.10.5-1_all.deb 7463ab8a17cee7bd0e8ab70b977868e7f577829bf5221c18c8f86f6a mingw32-gnutls_2.10.5-1_all.deb Internationalization ==================== The GnuTLS library messages have been translated into Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Malay, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, and Vietnamese. We welcome the addition of more translations. Support ======= 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 AB, 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. The GnuTLS service directory is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/commercial.html Happy Hacking, Simon
