We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuTLS version 1.2.8. GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network applications.
Noteworthy changes since version 1.2.7: - Libgcrypt 1.2.2 is required to fix a bug for forking GnuTLS servers. - Don't install the auxilliary libexamples library used by the examples in doc/examples/ on "make install", report and tiny patch from Thomas Klausner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. - If you pass a X.509 CA or PGP trust database to the command line tool, it will now abort the connection if the server certificate validation fails. Use the parameter --insecure to continue even after certificate validation failures. Inspired from discussion with Alexander Kotelnikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. - The test for socklen_t has been moved to gnulib. - Link failures for duplicate or missing "program_name" symbol has been fixed, patch from Martin Lambers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. - The command line tool and the examples no longer uses mmap or bzero, to make them more portable, patch from Martin Lambers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. - Made the PKCS #12 API handle null passwords. Based on patch by Anton Altaparmakov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. - The GTK-DOC manual should build with current released tools. (But a copy of the output is included, so the tools are not required.) - The inet_ntop function is now used through gnulib. - 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. 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>.
