[mod_gnutls-devel] New release: mod_gnutls 0.8.3

[Thomas Klute]

Hi everyone,

I have just uploaded a new source archive and matching signature to
https://mod.gnutls.org/downloads/ as well as the signed mod_gnutls/0.8.3
tag to the git repositories [1, 2].

This is a maintenance release with improved SNI handling, new default DH
parameters from GnuTLS, and some minor fixes and test suite
improvements. Please see the changelog below for details.

Note that GnuTLS has deprecated OpenPGP authentication support and
removed it with version 3.6. Following this OpenPGP authentication is
also deprecated in mod_gnutls and will be removed in a future release,
most likely 0.9.

Regards,
Thomas
