Version 2.3.15 will hopefully be the final release candidate for the next stable release v2.4.0. Please test v2.3.15 as if it were a stable release! I'm cc'ing help-gnutls as well, to reach wider audience. Please report problems to gnutls-devel only.
See below for the v2.4.0 release notes, comments and suggestions are welcome! This weekend is Midsommar in Sweden, and I'm leaving town on Thursday, thus expect the final 2.4.0 release on Thursday. Here are the compressed sources: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.3.15.tar.bz2 ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.3.15.tar.bz2 Here is the Windows binaries: http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/gnutls-2.3.15.exe http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/gnutls-2.3.15.zip Thanks to Enrico Tassi, we also have mingw32 *.deb's available: http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/mingw32-gnutls_2.3.15-1_all.deb What's New ========== Major end-user visible changes compared to the v2.2 branch: * The PSK sub-system has been improved and now supports password derivation and PSK identity hints. The password derivation algorithms support is documented in draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt. * The certtool --inder and --outder has been replaced by --inraw and --outraw. This aligns terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use DER encoding. The old parameters will continue to work for some time. * Certtool now confirm passwords and changes permissions of private key files. * The default handshake size limit has been increased to 48kb. It appears as if some valid handshakes are large due to sending many CA certificates. (The earlier limit was 16kb.) * LZO compression is now disabled by default. The main reason is that LZO compression in TLS is not standardized, but license compatiblity issues with minilzo triggered us to make this decision now. * Improvements for cross-compilation to Windows and OpenWRT. * The look of the GTK-DOC manual has been improved. Major developer visible changes compared to the v2.2 branch: * Full OpenPGP support is part of libgnutls, licensed under the LGPL. * New APIs to access the raw X.509 Subject and Issuer DN's and elements from the certificate credentials structure, thanks to Joe Orton. * New APIs to improve working with username/passwords and PSK. * Names of constants to affect certificate printing changed. The constants are used for OpenPGP too, which the names didn't reflect, so the following name change has been made: Old name New name GNUTLS_X509_CRT_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL GNUTLS_X509_CRT_ONELINE GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE GNUTLS_X509_CRT_UNSIGNED_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL The old names will be mapped to the new names for some time. * The function gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_id has been renamed to gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_key_id. * Replaced all uses of alloca with malloc and free. * We no longer build with -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE. We have been unable to find a documented rationale for this practice. Of course, many smaller fixes have been made, see the ChangeLog file. API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.4 ============================= All OpenPGP functions have been moved from libgnutls-extra to libgnutls, and several new functions have been added (see below). Before making the release, we discussed whether moving functions from libgnutls-extra to libgnutls would require us to increment the ABI version, but the general opinion was that this would not be required. All older functions continue to work the same. We are open to the possibility that this decision will lead to problem on some platform, and if it turns out that the Right Thing should have been to increment the shared library version, we would need to release an update within the 2.4.x branch that increments the shared library version. This release adds the following functions: gnutls_psk_client_get_hint gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key Used to get/set the PSK identity hint, and derive PSK keys from passwords a'la netconf. gnutls_x509_dn_deinit gnutls_x509_dn_export gnutls_x509_dn_import gnutls_x509_dn_init Used to handle X.509 Certificate DN's directly. gnutls_hex2bin Converts a data buffer to hex. Useful for handling PSK/SRP shared secrets. gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring Functions for direct access to credential elements. gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_auth_subkey gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_id gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_pk_dsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_pk_rsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_preferred_key_id gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_revoked_status gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_count gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_creation_time gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_expiration_time gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_id gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_idx gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_pk_algorithm gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_pk_dsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_pk_rsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_revoked_status gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_usage gnutls_openpgp_crt_print gnutls_openpgp_crt_set_preferred_key_id gnutls_openpgp_keyring_get_crt gnutls_openpgp_keyring_get_crt_count gnutls_openpgp_privkey_export gnutls_openpgp_privkey_export_dsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_privkey_export_rsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_privkey_export_subkey_dsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_privkey_export_subkey_rsa_raw gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_fingerprint gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_key_id gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_pk_algorithm gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_preferred_key_id gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_revoked_status gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_count gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_creation_time gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_expiration_time gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_id gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_idx gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_pk_algorithm gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_revoked_status gnutls_openpgp_privkey_set_preferred_key_id New OpenPGP related functions. The function gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_id is the same as the old from gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_id, see above. The release also adds a new header file 'gnutls/crypto.h', however it is currently not used.
