gnutls 2.12.8

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello,
 I've just released gnutls 2.12.8. This release adds
new functionality to 2.12.x and fixes all the known
bugs.

* Version 2.12.8 (released 2011-08-08)

** libgnutls: PKCS #11 back-end was replaced by p11-kit
http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/p11-kit.html. This backports
the 3.0.0 PKCS #11 back-end. Rewrite by Stef Walter.

** libgnutls: gcrypt: replaced occurences of gcry_sexp_nth_mpi (..., 0)
with gcry_sexp_nth_mpi (..., GCRYMPI_FMT_USG) to fix errors with 1.5.0.
Patch by Andreas Metzler.

** libgnutls: Verify that a certificate liste specified
using gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key*(), is sorted
according to TLS specification (from subject to issuer).

** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_X509_CRT_LIST_FAIL_IF_UNSORTED flag for
gnutls_x509_crt_list_import. It checks whether the list to be
imported is properly sorted.

** libgnutls: writev_emu: stop on the first incomplete write. Patch by
Sjoerd Simons.

** libgnutls: Fix zlib handling in gnutls.pc. Patch by Andreas
Metzler.

** certtool: bug fixes in certificate request generation. Patch
by Petr Písař.

** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_X509_CRT_LIST_FAIL_IF_UNSORTED: New element in
gnutls_certificate_import_flags
