Hi developers,
If you are unable to connect to GIMPNet this week, you probably need to
update GnuTLS. See below. At least Polari and other telepathy clients
will be unable to connect without updated GnuTLS. Most distros should
have fixes on the way already. We will try to get updated GNOME 3.34
and 3.36 runtimes out soon for flatpak users.

Hi distributors,
By now, you're likely to already have at least one bug report about
this, but an important root CA expired yesterday, leading to a large
number of certificate verification failures in applications that use
GnuTLS [1][2]. Almost all GNOME applications, including WebKitGTK,
depend on GnuTLS (via glib-networking) to perform certificate
verification, so the impact is quite significant.
A patch for GnuTLS is available at [3], which you are encouraged to
urgently apply. Fedora, Debian, and freedesktop-sdk updates are
already in the works. In the meantime, you'll probably notice
significant breakage in random places; e.g. Epiphany CI is currently
broken due to failure to download our adblock filters,
freedesktop-sdk builds were broken due to failure to download
gnu-hello, etc.
