[gnutls-help] gnutls 3.6.6

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello, 
 I've just released gnutls 3.6.6. This is a bug fix release on the
3.6.x branch. It introduces support for raw public keys, fixes several
small issues and issues related to TLS1.3 support.

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed in this release:
Tim Rühsen, Daiki Ueno, Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov, Hugo Beauzée-Luyssen,
Peter Wu, Andreas Metzler, Fabrice Fontaine, Alon Bar-Lev,
Maks Naumov, Marga Manterola and Tom Vrancken.

The detailed list of changes follows; they can be seen in more detail

Changes
=======

* Version 3.6.6 (released 2019-01-25)

** libgnutls: gnutls_pubkey_import_ecc_raw() was fixed to set the number bits
   on the public key (#640).

** libgnutls: Added support for raw public-key authentication as defined in RFC7250.
   Raw public-keys can be negotiated by enabling the corresponding certificate
   types via the priority strings. The raw public-key mechanism must be explicitly
   enabled via the GNUTLS_ENABLE_RAWPK init flag (#26, #280).

** libgnutls: When on server or client side we are sending no extensions we do
   not set an empty extensions field but we rather remove that field competely.
   This solves a regression since 3.5.x and improves compatibility of the server
   side with certain clients.

** libgnutls: We no longer mark RSA keys in PKCS#11 tokens as RSA-PSS capable if
   the CKA_SIGN is not set (#667).

** libgnutls: The priority string option %NO_EXTENSIONS was improved to completely
   disable extensions at all cases, while providing a functional session. This
   also implies that when specified, TLS1.3 is disabled.

** libgnutls: GNUTLS_X509_NO_WELL_DEFINED_EXPIRATION was marked as deprecated.
   The previous definition was non-functional (#609).

** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_ENABLE_RAWPK: Added
GNUTLS_ENABLE_CERT_TYPE_NEG: Removed (was no-op; replaced by GNUTLS_ENABLE_RAWPK) 
GNUTLS_X509_NO_WELL_DEFINED_EXPIRATION: Deprecated
GNUTLS_PCERT_NO_CERT: Deprecated
