Hi everyone,

I have just uploaded the source archive for mod_gnutls 0.8.0. The
biggest news are OCSP stapling support and bugfixes regarding TLS
session caching and session tickets. Session tickets are off by default
now, you may want to enable them, a cache, or both. Note that a cache is
required for OCSP stapling anyway. Full changelog below and in the
signed git tag mod_gnutls/0.8.0 as usual.

If anyone has been using the 0.8.0-beta version: I have replaced the
GnuTLSOCSPGraceTime directive with GnuTLSOCSPCacheTimeout, which should
be easier to understand, and hopefully to add asynchronous updates for
in a later version.

Best regards,
Thomas
