Hello,
 I've just released gnutls 3.0.13. This release fixes bugs and adds
new features in the current stable branch. The main additions are,
(1) a new helper interface to support trust on first use (SSH-like)
authentication, (2) gnutls-cli and ocsptool support the on-line
verification of a certificate using OCSP, (3) several updates in
Datagram TLS handling of missed packets and retransmissions (thanks
to work of Sean Buckheister).


* Version 3.0.13 (released 2012-02-18)

** gnutls-cli: added the --ocsp option which will verify
the peer's certificate with OCSP.

** gnutls-cli: added the --tofu and if specified, gnutls-cli
will use an ssh-style authentication method.

** gnutls-cli: if no --x509cafile is provided a default is
assumed (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt), if it exists.

** ocsptool: Added --ask parameter, to verify a certificate's
status from an ocsp server.

** command line apps: Use gnu autogen (libopts) to parse command
line arguments and template files.

** tests: Added stress test for DTLS packet losses and
out-of-order receival. Contributed by Sean Buckheister.

** libgnutls: Several updates and corrections in the DTLS
DTLS lost packet handling and retransmission timeouts.
Report and patches by Sean Buckheister.

** libgnutls: Added new functions to easily allow the usage of
a trust on first use (SSH-style) authentication.

** libgnutls: SUITEB128 and SUITEB192 priority strings account
for the RFC6460 requirements.

** libgnutls: Added new security parameter GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LEGACY
to account for security level of 96-bits.

** libgnutls: In client side if server does not advertise any
known CAs and only a single certificate is set in the credentials,
sent that one.

** libgnutls: Added functions to parse authority key identifiers
when stored as a 'general name' and serial combo.

** libgnutls: Added function to force explicit reinitialization
of PKCS #11 modules. This is required on the child process after
a fork (if PKCS #11 functionality is desirable).

** libgnutls: Depend on p11-kit 0.11.
