Furthermore, Adam had said he had some patches to check in prior to beta. I am working feverishly to finish this stuff before the end of this week, but it's very difficult work. It's hard to appreciate how complex our project has become until you really try to package a full-featured version of it for several diverse platforms. I would really love to see us focus on simplifying things in the next release. We seem to be trying to be all things to all people, and it's producing a source base whose learning curve is too high for most developers-- I often have trouble figuring out some aspects of it myself, even though I wrote part of it.
I could write a book on the difficulties I've had with GnuTLS. I am ultimately finding that I have to pretty much build it from source on all of the platforms. Honestly, I don't really care about the encryption aspects of it at all, but the authentication extensions are important, because those will eventually be my only vehicle to replace the existing user/password PAM authentication feature in TurboVNC. Thus, I'm kind of left in an awkward position, since I'm the only one of the three major players who has to support both GnuTLS and stable platforms like RHEL 4 and 5.
