The GnuTLS 2.3.x branch is NOT what you want for your stable system.  It
is intended for developers and experienced users.

I tried to make sure there are no ABI/ABI modifications/deletions in
this compared to v2.2.x, but as the changes have been quite large, I may
have missed something.  Note that we don't guarantee ABI compatibility
during development releases, so if there are ABI breaks in this release,
we'll consider those bugs and revert them, rather than bumping the ABI.

Also, we need to figure out how the LGPL opencdk should be handled.  The
only LGPL'ed opencdk is the one included in this release.  There should
probably be an external release of this code.

News in this release:

* Version 2.3.2 (released 2008-02-26)

** Fix srcdir!=objdir failure in openpgpself test.

** Improved API documentation output from GTK-DOC.

** Added gnutls_x509_dn_export(). Patch by Joe Orton.

** Renamed gnutls_certificate_export_x509_cas and friends.
See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-02/msg00043.html>.

** Internal header files cleanup.

** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_certificate_export_x509_cas: RENAMED to gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas
gnutls_certificate_export_x509_crls: RENAMED to gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls
gnutls_certificate_export_openpgp_keyring: RENAMED to gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring
gnutls_x509_dn_export: ADDED

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.
