[gnutls-dev] GnuTLS 2.1.4

[Simon Josefsson]

The GnuTLS 2.1.x branch is NOT what you want for your stable system.  It
is intended for developers and experienced users.

News in this release:

* Version 2.1.4 (released 2007-10-27)

** Added the --v1 option to certtool, to allow generating X.509
version 1 certificates. 

** certtool: Add option --disable-quick-random to enable the old behaviour
of using /dev/random to generate keys.

** Added priority functions that accept strings.

** Added gnutls_set_default_priority2() which accepts a flag to indicate
priorities preferences.

** Added gnutls_record_disable_padding() to allow servers talking to 
buggy clients that complain if the TLS 1.0 record protocol padding is
used.

** Introduced gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode() to allow enabling
all supported compatibility options (like disabling padding).

** The gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_* functions were modified to include
the format. This makes the interface consistent with the x509 functions.

** Internal copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.5.

** Update gnulib files.

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.  See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
