As several of you have noticed, libtasn1 0.3.0 did not work with
gnutls 1.3.4.  GnuTLS needed two more functions from libtasn1, and
this release export them.  Note that gnutls 1.3.4 will not work with
this release either, but gnutls 1.3.5 will follow shortly that should
work together with this release.

Below is your regular release announcement...

Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1
objects including DER/BER encoding and DER/BER decoding.  Libtasn1 is
used by GnuTLS to manipulate X.509 objects and by GNU Shishi to handle
Kerberos V5 packets.

Version 0.3.1
- Support constant size bit strings, as in 'BIT STRING (SIZE(42))'.
  Reported by Cyril Holweck <cyril.holweck at q-free.com>.
- Add two more APIs required by GnuTLS.
- New public APIs:
  asn1_find_node function
  asn1_copy_node

Commercial support contracts for Libtasn1 are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding Libtasn1
maintenance.  We are always looking for interesting development
projects.  See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
