Hello,
 I've just released gnutls 3.0.8. This release fixes issues
in ECC key generation, and reduces the timing information provided to
an adversary in DTLS.

* Version 3.0.8 (released 2011-11-12)

** certtool: Certtool -e returns error code on verification
failure.

** certtool: Verifies parameters of generated keys.

** libgnutls: Corrected ECC key generation (introduced in 3.0.6)

** libgnutls: Provide less timing information when decoding
TLS/DTLS record packets.

** doc: man pages for API functions were removed.
The reason was that the code that auto-generated the man pages missed
many APIs and we couldn't fix it (volunteers welcome).  See the info
manual or the GTK-DOC manual instead.

** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_privkey_verify_params: Added
