gnutls 2.11.0 released

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello,

The GnuTLS 2.11.x branch is NOT what you want for your stable system.
It is intended for developers and experienced users.

This is major update release that includes features such as PKCS #11
support for cryptographic objects, support for local system thread
locks, new message buffering layer, support for nettle library and more.

I've uploaded it to the main ftp.gnutls.org. The alpha.gnu.org will
follow soon.

Here are the compressed sources:
  ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/devel/gnutls-2.11.0.tar.bz2

Here is the OpenPGP signature:

regards,
Nikos

* Version 2.11.0 (released 2010-07-22)

** libgnutls: support scattered write using writev(). This takes
advantage of the new buffering layer and allows queuing of packets
and flushing them. This is currently used for handshake messages
only.

** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
locks are now set by default in systems that support it.

** libgnutls: Added support for reading DN from EV-certificates.
New DN values:
jurisdictionOfIncorporationLocalityName,
jurisdictionOfIncorporationStateOrProvinceName,
jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName

** libgnutls: Added support for DSA signing/verifying with bit
length over 1024.

** libgnutls-extra: When in FIPS mode gnutls_global_init_extra()
has to be called to register any required md5 handlers.

** libgnutls: Internal buffering code was replaced by simpler
code contributed by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault.

** libgnutls: Internal API for extensions augmented to allow
safe storing and loading of data on resumption. This allows writing
self-contained extensions (when possible). As a side effect
the OPRFI extension was removed.

** libgnutls: Added support for DSA-SHA256 and DSA-SHA224

** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 support and an API to access objects in
gnutls/pkcs11.h. Currently certificates and public keys can be
imported from tokens, and operations can be performed on private keys.

** libgnutls: Added abstract gnutls_privkey_t and gnutls_pubkey_t

** libgnutls: Added initial support for the nettle library. It uses
the system's random generator for seeding. That is /dev/urandom in
Linux, system calls in Win32 and EGD on other systems.

** libgnutls: Corrected issue on the %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority
string. It now works even when resuming a session.

** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() to
replace the similar gnutls_certificate_set_server_retrieve_function()
and gnutls_certificate_set_client_retrieve_function(). In addition it
support PKCS #11 private keys.

** libgnutls: Added  gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt(),
gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey(), and gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url() to
allow copying and deleting data in tokens.

** libgnutls: Added gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() et al. to allow select
bit sizes for private keys using a human understandable scale.

** certtool: Added new options: --pkcs11-list-tokens, --pkcs11-list-all
--pkcs11-list-all-certs, --pkcs11-list-trusted, --pkcs11-list-certs,
--pkcs11-delete-url, --pkcs11-write

certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior
can be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".

certtool: Added --certificate-pubkey to print the public key of the
certificate.

** gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv: --x509cafile, --x509certfile and --x509keyfile
can now accept a PKCS #11 URL in addition to a file. This will allow for
example to use the Gnome-keyring trusted certificate list to verify
connections using a url such as:
pkcs11:token=Root%20CA%20Certificates;serial=1%3AROOTS%3ADEFAULT;model=1%2E0;manufacturer=Gnome%20Keyring
