Subject: [gnutls-dev] GnuTLS 1.2.5
Message-ID: <ilu8y0og1gl.fsf@latte.josefsson.org>

We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuTLS version 1.2.5!

GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network
security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network
applications.

Strategically, I'll be away hiking in Romania for the next week, so if
there is anything wrong with this release, it may be some time before
it can be corrected.

Noteworthy changes since version 1.2.4:
- More builddir != srcdir fixes, reported by Mike Castle
  <dalgoda at ix.netcom.com>.
- Fixed off-by-one bug in the size parameter of gnutls_x509_crt_get*_dn,
  reported by Adam Langley <alangley at gmail.com>.
- Corrected some stuff in minilzo detection. Pointed out by
  Sergey Lipnevich.
- MiniLZO updated to version 2.00.
- gnutls_x509_crt_list_import now accept a DER formatted CRL.
- 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:

Subject: [gnutls-dev] Libtasn1 0.2.14 - Tiny ASN.1 Library
Message-ID: <ilumzonlyo9.fsf@latte.josefsson.org>

All,

today is a rainy day, so I decided to roll a new Libtasn1 release, and
created a web page for it, to maybe attract more users.

Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1
objects including DER encoding and DER decoding.  It is used by GnuTLS
to manipulate X.509 objects and by GNU Shishi to handle Kerberos
packets, and possibly by other projects too.

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.

If you need help to use Libtasn1, or want to help others, you are
invited to join our help-gnutls mailing list, see:
<http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls>.

Version 0.2.14
- Some build fixes.
- Pkg-config script 'libtasn1.pc' added.
- Postal address to FSF in license updated.

Subject: [gnutls-dev] GnuTLS 1.2.6
Message-ID: <ilu4qauoors.fsf@latte.josefsson.org>

We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuTLS version 1.2.6!

GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network
security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network
applications.

The LZO related changes in version 1.2.5 did not work for several
people, hence this brown paper-bag release to address that.  This
release has been tested on systems with lzo2 and lzo1, with only lzo2,
with only lzo1, and finally on systems that lack both lzo2 and lzo1
(thus using the embedded minilzo). However, there may still be
problems in this area.

I'd also like to mention (for those who may have missed it) that
Libtasn1, the standalone ASN.1 library used by GnuTLS and other
projects, is a separate product with it's own release cycle and full
support.  Today I released 0.2.14 of it, see:
  http://josefsson.org/libtasn1/
  http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cilumzonlyo9.fsf%40latte.josefsson.org%3e

Noteworthy changes since version 1.2.5:
- MiniLZO updated to version 2.01 and moved to separate directory.
- Collision between system LZO header files and MiniLZO header file
  fixed, reported by Matthias Urlichs <smurf at smurf.noris.de>.
- Will now test for liblzo functionality in liblzo2 too, reported by
  Thomas Klausner <tk at giga.or.at>.
- Minilibtasn1 is now 0.2.14 (no code changes).
- Some code changes to avoid GTK-DOC warnings.
- API and ABI modifications:
  No changes since last version.

Subject: [gnutls-dev] [PATCH] transport_set_* documentation fix
Message-ID: <20050722211615.GD7713@ghostscript.com>

Hi,

The reference docs for gnutls_transport_set_[push|pull]() appear to be 
incorrect. The entries state that these must be called once right after 
gnutls_global_init() which doesn't agree with the first argument being a 
gnutls_session_t. Also, the description of the pull function's callback 
arguments includes a 'const void *' for the buffer address to be filled, 
which is obviously wrong.

I've attached a small patch to fix, which also improves the wording a 
bit.

Hello!  Thanks for the patch, I have installed it.
