[gnutls-help] gnutls 3.5.17

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello, 
 I've just released gnutls 3.5.17. This is a bug fix release on the
current stable branch.


* Version 3.5.17 (released 2018-01-17)

** libgnutls: Address issue of loading of all PKCS#11 modules on startup
   on systems with a PKCS#11 trust store (as opposed to a file trust store).
   Introduced a multi-stage initialization which loads the trust modules, and
   other modules are deferred for the first pure PKCS#11 request.

** libgnutls: Improved getrandom() detection in newer glibc versions.

** libgnutls: When verifying against a self signed certificate ignore issuer.
   That is, ignore issuer when checking the issuer's parameters strength, resolving
   issue #347 which caused self signed certificates to be additionally marked as of
   insufficient security level.

** libgnutls: Corrected MTU calculation for the CBC ciphersuites. The data
   MTU calculation now, it correctly accounts for the fixed overhead due to
   padding (as 1 byte), while at the same time considers the rest of the
   padding as part of data MTU. Resolves issue #360.

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