Hello,
 I've just released gnutls 3.0.24. This is a bug-fix release on the
old stable branch.

* Version 3.0.24 (released 2012-09-26)

** libgnutls: The %COMPAT keyword, if specified, will tolerate
key usage violation errors (they are far too common to ignore).

** libgnutls: Corrected bug in OpenPGP subpacket encoding.

** libgnutls: Added X.509 certificate verification flag
GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNSORTED_CHAIN. This flag allows the verification
of unsorted certificate chains and is enabled by default for
TLS certificate verification (if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags()
does not override it).

** libgnutls: Correctly restore gnutls_record_recv() in DTLS mode
if interrupted during the retrasmition of handshake data.

** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_STATELESS_COMPRESSION flag to gnutls_init(),
which provides a tool to counter compression-related attacks where
parts of the data are controlled by the attacker _and_ are placed in
separate records (use with care - do not use compression if not sure).

** libgnutls: Depends on libtasn1 2.14 or later.

** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
