379 * Version 2.11.6 (released 2010-12-06)
381 ** libgnutls: Record version of Client Hellos is now set by default to
382 SSL 3.0. To restore the previous default behavior use %LATEST_RECORD_VERSION
385 ** libgnutls: Use ASN1_NULL when writing parameters for RSA signatures.
386 This makes us comply with RFC3279. Reported by Michael Rommel.
388 ** gnutls-serv: Corrected a buffer overflow. Reported and patch by Tomas Mraz.
390 ** API and ABI modifications:
391 No changes since last version.
393 * Version 2.11.5 (released 2010-12-01)
395 ** libgnutls: Reverted default behavior for verification and
396 introduced GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT. Thus by default
397 V1 trusted CAs are allowed, unless the new flag is specified.
399 ** libgnutls: Correctly add leading zero to PKCS #8 encoded DSA key.
400 Reported by Jeffrey Walton.
402 ** libgnutls: Added SIGN-ALL, CTYPE-ALL, COMP-ALL, and VERS-TLS-ALL
403 as priority strings. Those allow to set all the supported algorithms
406 ** p11tool: Introduced. It allows manipulating pkcs 11 tokens.
408 ** gnutls-cli: Print channel binding only in verbose mode.
409 Before it printed it after the 'Compression:' output, thus breaking

418 ** libgnutls: Add new API gnutls_session_channel_binding.
419 The function is used to get the channel binding data. Currently only
420 the "tls-unique" (RFC 5929) channel binding type is supported, through
421 the GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE type. See new section "Channel Bindings" in
424 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Print 'tls-unique' Channel Bindings.
426 ** doc: Added pkcs11.h header file to GTK-DOC manual.

442 ** Indent code to follow the GNU Coding Standard.
443 You should be able to unpack the 2.11.2 release and run 'make indent'
444 twice to get exactly the same content as 2.11.3 except for generated
445 files. Using GNU Indent 2.2.11.
447 ** API and ABI modifications:
448 No changes since last version.
450 * Version 2.11.2 (released 2010-10-08)

453 and session tickets support.
455 ** libgnutls: Add new extended key usage ipsecIKE.
457 ** certtool: Renamed PKCS #11 options to: --p11-provider,
458 --p11-export-url, --p11-list-certs, --p11-list-certs,
459 --p11-list-privkeys, --p11-list-trusted, --p11-list-all-certs,
460 --p11-list-all, --p11-list-tokens, --p11-login, --p11-write,
461 --p11-write-label, --p11-write-trusted, --p11-detailed-url,

465 introduced with the new nettle code.
467 ** libgnutls: Corrected advertizing issue for session tickets.
469 ** API and ABI modifications:
470 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_unique_id: ADDED.
471 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_unique_id: ADDED.
473 * Version 2.11.1 (released 2010-09-14)
475 ** libgnutls: Nettle is the default crypto back end. Use --with-libgcrypt
476 to use the libgcrypt back end.
478 ** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 2.1. This makes nettle a fully working
479 backend crypto library.
481 ** libgnutls: Added RSA_NULL_SHA1 and SHA256 ciphersuites.
483 ** libgnutls: Several updates in the buffering internal interface.
485 ** libgnutls: Is now more liberal in the PEM decoding. That is spaces and
486 tabs are being skipped.
488 ** libgnutls: Added support for draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-02.
490 ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the
493 ** libgnutls: by default lowat level has been set to zero to avoid unnecessary
494 system calls. Applications that depended on it being 1 should explicitly call
495 gnutls_transport_set_lowat().
497 ** libgnutls: Updated documentation and gnutls_pk_params_t mappings
498 to ECRYPT II recommendations. Mappings were moved to a single location
499 and DSA keys are handled differently (since DSA2 allows for 1024,2048
502 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
503 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
504 is unable to decode the key.
506 ** libgnutls: HMAC-MD5 no longer used by default.
508 ** API and ABI modifications:
509 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
510 gnutls_x509_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
512 * Version 2.11.0 (released 2010-07-22)
514 ** libgnutls: support scattered write using writev(). This takes
515 advantage of the new buffering layer and allows queuing of packets
516 and flushing them. This is currently used for handshake messages
519 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
520 alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
521 locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
522 critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
523 previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
524 locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
525 that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
527 #if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
531 ** libgnutls: Added support for reading DN from EV-certificates.
533 jurisdictionOfIncorporationLocalityName,
534 jurisdictionOfIncorporationStateOrProvinceName,
535 jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName
537 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA signing/verifying with bit
540 ** libgnutls-extra: When in FIPS mode gnutls_global_init_extra()
541 has to be called to register any required md5 handlers.
543 ** libgnutls: Internal buffering code was replaced by simpler
544 code contributed by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault.
546 ** libgnutls: Internal API for extensions augmented to allow
547 safe storing and loading of data on resumption. This allows writing
548 self-contained extensions (when possible). As a side effect
549 the OPRFI extension was removed.
551 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA-SHA256 and DSA-SHA224
553 ** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 support and an API to access objects in
554 gnutls/pkcs11.h. Currently certificates and public keys can be
555 imported from tokens, and operations can be performed on private keys.
557 ** libgnutls: Added abstract gnutls_privkey_t and gnutls_pubkey_t
559 ** libgnutls: Added initial support for the nettle library. It uses
560 the system's random generator for seeding. That is /dev/urandom in Linux,
561 system calls in Win32 and EGD on other systems.
563 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue on the %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string. It now
564 works even when resuming a session.
566 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() to replace the
567 similar gnutls_certificate_set_server_retrieve_function() and
568 gnutls_certificate_set_client_retrieve_function(). In addition it support
569 PKCS #11 private keys.
571 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt(), gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey(),
572 and gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url() to allow copying and deleting data in tokens.
574 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() et al. to allow select bit
575 sizes for private keys using a human understandable scale.
577 ** certtool: Added new options: --pkcs11-list-tokens, --pkcs11-list-all
578 --pkcs11-list-all-certs, --pkcs11-list-trusted, --pkcs11-list-certs,
579 --pkcs11-delete-url, --pkcs11-write
581 certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
582 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior can
583 be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
585 certtool: Added --certificate-pubkey to print the public key of the
588 ** gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv: --x509cafile, --x509certfile and --x509keyfile
589 can now accept a PKCS #11 URL in addition to a file. This will allow for
590 example to use the Gnome-keyring trusted certificate list to verify
591 connections using a url such as:
592 pkcs11:token=Root%20CA%20Certificates;serial=1%3AROOTS%3ADEFAULT;model=1%2E0;manufacturer=Gnome%20Keyring

673 * Version 2.10.1 (released 2010-07-25)
675 ** libgnutls: Added support for broken certificates that indicate RSA
678 ** gnutls-cli: Allow verification using V1 CAs.
680 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
681 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
682 is unable to decode the key.
684 ** libgnutls: Correctly deinitialize crypto API functions to prevent
685 a memory leak. Reported by Mads Kiilerich.
687 ** certtool: If asked to generate DSA keys of size more than 1024 bits,
688 issue a warning, that the output key might not be working everywhere.
690 ** certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
691 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior
692 can be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
694 ** API and ABI modifications:
695 No changes since last version.

699 ** API and ABI modifications:
700 No changes since last version.
702 * Version 2.9.12 (released 2010-06-17)
704 ** gnutls-cli: Make --starttls work again.
705 Problem introduced in patch to use read() instead of fgets() committed
708 ** API and ABI modifications:
709 No changes since last version.
711 * Version 2.9.11 (released 2010-06-07)
713 ** libgnutls: Removed two APIs related to safe renegotiation.
714 Use priority strings instead. The APIs were
715 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial and gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set.
716 (Remember that we don't promise ABI stability during development
717 series, so this doesn't cause an shared library ABI increment.)
719 ** tests: More self testing of safe renegotiation extension.
720 See tests/safe-renegotiation/README for more information.
722 ** doc: a PDF version of the API reference manual (GTK-DOC) is now built.
724 ** doc: Terms 'GNUTLS' and 'GNU TLS' were changed to 'GnuTLS' for consistency.
726 ** API and ABI modifications:
727 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial: REMOVED.
728 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set: REMOVED.
730 * Version 2.9.10 (released 2010-04-22)
732 ** libgnutls: Time verification extended to trusted certificate list.
733 Unless new constant GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TRUSTED_TIME_CHECKS flag is
736 ** certtool: Display postalCode and Name X.509 DN attributes correctly.
737 Based on patch by Pavan Konjarla. Adds new constant
738 GNUTLS_OID_X520_POSTALCODE and GNUTLS_OID_X520_NAME.
740 ** libgnutls: Added Steve Dispensa's patch for safe renegotiation (RFC 5746)
741 Solves the issue discussed in:
742 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03928.html> and
743 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03948.html>.
744 Note that to allow connecting to unpatched servers the full protection
745 is only enabled if the priority string %SAFE_RENEGOTIATION is
746 specified. You can check whether protection is in place by querying
747 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status(). New error codes
748 GNUTLS_E_SAFE_RENEGOTIATION_FAILED and
749 GNUTLS_E_UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION_DENIED added.
751 ** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
753 Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
756 ** libgnutls: Added cryptodev support (/dev/crypto).
757 Tested with http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/. Added
758 benchmark utility for AES. Adds new error codes
759 GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_IOCTL_ERROR and GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_DEVICE_ERROR.
761 ** libgnutls: Exported API to access encryption and hash algorithms.
762 The new API functions are gnutls_cipher_decrypt, gnutls_cipher_deinit,
763 gnutls_cipher_encrypt, gnutls_cipher_get_block_size,
764 gnutls_cipher_init, gnutls_hash, gnutls_hash_deinit, gnutls_hash_fast,
765 gnutls_hash_get_len, gnutls_hash_init, gnutls_hash_output,
766 gnutls_hmac, gnutls_hmac_deinit, gnutls_hmac_fast,
767 gnutls_hmac_get_len, gnutls_hmac_init, gnutls_hmac_output. New API
768 constants are GNUTLS_MAC_SHA224 and GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224.
770 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function() to allow
771 verification of certificate upon receipt rather than waiting until the
772 end of the handshake.
774 ** libgnutls: Don't send alerts during handshake.
775 Instead new error code GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME is added.
777 ** certtool: Corrected two issues that affected certificate request generation.
778 (1) Null padding is added on integers (found thanks to Wilankar Trupti),
779 (2) In optional SignatureAlgorithm parameters field for DSA keys the DSA
780 parameters were added. Those were rejected by Verisign. Gnutls no longer adds
781 those parameters there since other implementations don't do either and having
782 them does not seem to offer anything (anyway you need the signer's certificate
783 to verify thus public key will be available). Found thanks to Boyan Kasarov.
784 This however has the side-effect that public key IDs shown by certtool are
785 now different than previous gnutls releases.
786 (3) the option --pgp-certificate-info will verify self signatures
788 ** certtool: Allow exporting of Certificate requests on DER format.
790 ** certtool: New option --no-crq-extensions to avoid extensions in CSRs.
792 ** gnutls-cli: Handle reading binary data from server.

860 Reported by Tang Tong.
862 ** libgnutls: Addition of support for TLS 1.2 signature algorithms
863 ** extension and certificate verify field.
864 This requires changes for TLS 1.2 servers and clients that use
865 callbacks for certificate retrieval. They are now required to check
866 with gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested() whether the certificate
867 they send complies with the peer's preferences in signature
870 ** libgnutls: In server side when resuming a session do not overwrite the
871 ** initial session data with the resumed session data.
873 ** libgnutls: Added support for AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 in PKCS #8
875 This affects also PKCS #12 encoded files. This adds the following new
876 enums: GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_192_CBC, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_128,
877 GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_192, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_256.
879 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 encoding.
880 The error you would get was "The OID is not supported.". Problem

953 Reported by Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com> in
954 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106975>.
956 ** Fix use of deprecated types internally.
957 Use of deprecated types in GnuTLS from now on will lead to a compile
958 error, to prevent this from happening again.
960 ** API and ABI modifications:
961 No changes since last version.
963 * Version 2.9.3 (released 2009-08-19)
965 ** libgnutls: Support for TLS tickets was contributed by Daiki Ueno.
966 The new APIs are gnutls_session_ticket_enable_client,
967 gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server, and
968 gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate.
970 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: New parameter --noticket to disable TLS tickets.

977 * Version 2.9.2 (released 2009-08-14)
979 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
980 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
981 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
982 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
983 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
984 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
985 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
986 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
987 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
988 attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
989 certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
990 sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
991 Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
992 for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4] [CVE-2009-2730].
994 ** libgnutls: Fix rare failure in gnutls_x509_crt_import.
995 The function may fail incorrectly when an earlier certificate was
996 imported to the same gnutls_x509_crt_t structure.
998 ** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v2.3.
1000 ** libgnutls: Fix return value of gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status.
1001 Before it always returned false. Reported by Peter Hendrickson
1002 <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
1003 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3668>.
1005 ** libgnutls: Fix off-by-one size computation error in unknown DN printing.
1006 The error resulted in truncated strings when printing unknown OIDs in
1007 X.509 certificate DNs. Reported by Tim Kosse
1008 <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
1009 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3651>.
1011 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 decryption from password.
1012 The encryption key derived from the password was incorrect for (on
1013 average) 1 in every 128 input for random inputs. Reported by "Kukosa,
1014 Tomas" <tomas.kukosa@siemens-enterprise.com> in
1015 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1663>.
1017 ** libgnutls: Return correct bit lengths of some MPIs.
1018 gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits, gnutls_rsa_export_get_modulus_bits, and
1019 gnutls_dh_get_peers_public_bits. Before the reported value was
1020 overestimated. Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
1021 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3607>.
1023 ** libgnutls: Avoid internal error when invoked after GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.
1024 Report and patch by Tim Kosse <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
1025 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3671>
1027 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3670>.
1029 ** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.
1030 Before we required that the runtime library used the same (or more
1031 recent) libgcrypt/libtasn1 as it was compiled with. Now we just check
1032 that the runtime usage is above the minimum required. Reported by
1033 Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> via Andreas Metzler
1034 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in <http://bugs.debian.org/540449>.
1036 ** tests: Added new self-test pkcs12_s2k_pem to detect MPI bit length error.
1038 ** tests: Improved test vectors in self-test pkcs12_s2k.

1069 * Version 2.8.6 (released 2010-03-15)
1071 ** libgnutls: For CSRs, don't null pad integers for RSA/DSA value.
1072 VeriSign rejected CSRs with this padding. Reported by Wilankar Trupti
1073 <trupti.wilankar@hp.com> and Boyan Kasarov <bkasarov@gmail.com>.
1075 Note: As a side effect of this change, the "public key identifier"
1076 value computed for a certificate using this version of GnuTLS will be
1077 different from values computed using earlier versions of GnuTLS.
1079 ** libgnutls: For CSRs on DSA keys, don't add DSA parameters to the
1080 ** optional SignatureAlgorithm parameter field.
1081 VeriSign rejected these CSRs. They are stricly speaking not needed
1082 since you need the signer's certificate to verify the certificate
1083 signature anyway. Reported by Wilankar Trupti
1084 <trupti.wilankar@hp.com> and Boyan Kasarov <bkasarov@gmail.com>.
1086 ** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
1088 Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
1091 ** libgnutls: Cleanups and several bug fixes.

1144 ** API and ABI modifications:
1145 No changes since last version.
1147 * Version 2.8.3 (released 2009-08-13)
1149 ** libgnutls: Fix patch for NUL in CN/SAN in last release.
1150 Code intended to be removed would lead to an read-out-bound error in
1151 some situations. Reported by Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>. A CVE
1152 code have been allocated for the vulnerability: [CVE-2009-2730].
1154 ** libgnutls: Fix rare failure in gnutls_x509_crt_import.

1158 ** libgnutls-extra, libgnutls-openssl: Fix MinGW cross-compiling build error.
1160 ** tests: Made self-test mini-eagain take less time.
1164 ** API and ABI modifications:
1165 No changes since last version.
1167 * Version 2.8.2 (released 2009-08-10)
1169 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
1170 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
1171 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
1172 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
1173 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
1174 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
1175 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
1176 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
1177 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
1178 attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
1179 certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
1180 sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
1181 Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
1182 for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4].
1184 ** libgnutls: Fix return value of gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status.

1189 ** libgnutls: Fix off-by-one size computation error in unknown DN printing.
1190 The error resulted in truncated strings when printing unknown OIDs in
1191 X.509 certificate DNs. Reported by Tim Kosse
1192 <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
1193 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3651>.

1196 gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits, gnutls_rsa_export_get_modulus_bits, and
1197 gnutls_dh_get_peers_public_bits. Before the reported value was
1198 overestimated. Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
1199 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3607>.
1201 ** libgnutls: Avoid internal error when invoked after GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.

1207 ** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.
1208 Before we required that the runtime library used the same (or more
1209 recent) libgcrypt/libtasn1 as it was compiled with. Now we just check
1210 that the runtime usage is above the minimum required. Reported by

1343 No offically supported interfaces have been modified or removed. The
1344 library should be completely backwards compatible on both the source
1347 The shared library no longer exports some symbols that have never been
1348 officially supported, i.e., not mentioned in any of the header files.
1354 Normally when symbols are removed, the shared library version has to
1355 be incremented. This leads to a significant cost for everyone using
1356 the library. Because none of the above symbols have ever been
1357 intended for use by well-behaved applications, we decided that the it
1358 would be better for those applications to pay the price rather than
1359 incurring problems on the majority of applications.
1361 If it turns out that applications have been using unofficial
1362 interfaces, we will need to release a follow-on release on the v2.8
1363 branch to exports additional interfaces. However, initial testing
1364 suggests that few if any applications have been using any of the
1367 Although not a new change compared to 2.6.x, we'd like to remind you
1368 interfaces have been modified so that X.509 chain verification now
1369 also checks activation/expiration times on certificates. The affected
1372 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
1373 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
1374 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
1375 GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.

1377 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
1379 This change in behaviour was made during the GnuTLS 2.6.x cycle, and
1380 we gave our rationale for it in earlier release notes.
1382 The following symbols have been added to the library:

1546 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in turn is used by
1547 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
1548 We add two new gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new
1549 error condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED.
1550 We also add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
1551 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
1552 behaviour. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-3] [CVE-2009-1417]
1554 ** lib: Linker version scripts reduces number of exported symbols.
1555 The linker version script now lists all exported ABIs explicitly, to
1556 avoid accidentally exporting unintended functions. Compared to
1557 before, most symbols beginning with _gnutls* are no longer exported.
1558 These functions have never been intended for use by applications, and
1559 there were no prototypes for these function in the public header
1560 files. Thus we believe it is possible to do this without incrementing
1561 the library ABI version which normally has to be done when removing an
1564 ** lib: Limit exported symbols on systems without LD linker scripts.
1565 Before all symbols were exported. Now we limit the exported symbols
1566 to (for libgnutls and libgnutls-extra) gnutls* and (for libgnutls)
1567 _gnutls*. This is a superset of the actual supported ABI, but still
1568 an improvement compared to before. This is implemented using Libtool
1569 -export-symbols-regex. It is more portable than linker version
1572 ** libgnutls: Incremented CURRENT/AGE libtool version to reflect new symbols.
1573 This should have been done in the last release.
1575 ** gnutls-serv: Listen on all interfaces, including both IPv4 and IPv6.

1577 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3476>.
1579 ** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
1580 We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
1581 directory categories to use. In particular, libgnutls moved from the
1582 'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and the command
1583 line tools moved from 'Network Applications' to 'System

1594 * Version 2.7.7 (released 2009-04-20)
1596 ** libgnutls: Applied patch by Cedric Bail to add functions
1597 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash() and gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm().
1599 ** gnutls.pc: Add -ltasn1 to 'pkg-config --libs --static gnutls' output.
1600 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
1601 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3467>.
1603 ** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v1.8.
1604 GnuTLS is also internally ready to be used with libtasn1 v2.0.
1606 ** doc: Fix build failure of errcodes/printlist.
1607 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org> in
1608 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3435>.
1610 ** i18n: The GnuTLS gettext domain is now 'libgnutls' instead of 'gnutls'.
1611 It is currently only used by the core library. This will enable a new
1612 domain 'gnutls' for translations of the command line tools.
1614 ** Corrected possible memory corruption on signature verification failure.

1621 * Version 2.7.6 (released 2009-02-27)
1623 ** certtool: Query for multiple dnsName subjectAltName in interactive mode.
1624 This applies both to generating certificates and certificate requests.
1626 ** pkix.asn: Removed unneeded definitions to reduce memory usage.
1628 ** gnutls-cli: No longer accepts V1 CAs by default during X.509 chain verify.
1629 Use --priority NORMAL:%VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT to permit V1 CAs to
1630 be used for chain verification.
1632 ** gnutls-serv: No longer disable MAC padding by default.
1633 Use --priority NORMAL:%COMPAT to disable MAC padding again.
1635 ** gnutls-cli: Certificate information output format changed.
1636 The tool now uses libgnutls' functions to print certificate
1637 information. This avoids code duplication.
1639 ** libgnutls: New priority strings %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
1640 ** and %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT.
1641 They can be used to override the default certificate chain validation
1644 ** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
1645 specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
1646 TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
1648 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print prints signature algorithm in oneline mode.
1650 ** libgnutls: gnutls_openpgp_crt_print supports oneline mode.
1652 ** doc: Update gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv --help output descriptions.
1654 ** API and ABI modifications:
1655 No changes since last version.
1657 * Version 2.7.5 (released 2009-02-06)
1659 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
1660 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
1661 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
1662 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
1663 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
1664 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
1665 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
1666 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
1667 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
1668 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"

1672 ** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
1673 the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
1675 ** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
1676 rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
1677 Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
1679 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
1680 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
1681 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
1682 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by

1686 ** API and ABI modifications:
1687 No changes since last version.
1689 * Version 2.7.4 (released 2009-01-07)
1691 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
1692 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
1693 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
1694 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
1695 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in

1700 ** libgnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
1701 Patch from David Marín Carreño <davefx@gmail.com> in
1702 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3321>.
1704 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.
1706 ** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
1707 Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
1708 which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
1709 internal validation algorithm. Now this command print a new final
1710 line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
1711 from using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.
1713 ** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.
1715 ** API and ABI modifications:
1716 gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.

1726 ** libgnutls: Libgcrypt initialization changed.
1727 If libgcrypt has not already been initialized, GnuTLS will now
1728 initialize libgcrypt with disabled secure memory. Initialize
1729 libgcrypt explicitly in your application if you want to enable secure
1730 memory. Before GnuTLS initialized libgcrypt to use GnuTLS's memory
1731 allocation functions, which doesn't use secure memory, so there is no
1732 real change in behaviour.
1734 ** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
1735 Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
1736 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
1738 ** libgnutls: Small byte reads via gnutls_record_recv() optimized.
1740 ** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
1741 It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
1743 ** gnutls-cli: Return non-zero exit code on error conditions.
1745 ** gnutls-cli: Corrected bug which caused a rehandshake request to be ignored.
1747 ** tests: Added chainverify self-test that tests X.509 chain verifications.

1754 ** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3]
1755 The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e.,
1756 active attackers) to assume any name and trick GnuTLS clients into
1757 trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von
1758 Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net>. [CVE-2008-4989]
1760 Any updates with more details about this vulnerability will be added
1761 to <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
1763 ** libgnutls: Fix namespace issue with version symbols.
1764 The symbols LIBGNUTLS_VERSION, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
1765 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
1766 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER were renamed to GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER,
1767 GNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
1768 GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER respectively. The old symbols will continue to
1769 work but are deprecated.

1898 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
1899 Reported by Romain Francoise <romain@orebokech.com>. Before the
1900 library did not check activation/expiration times on certificates, and
1901 was documented as not doing so. We have realized that many
1902 applications that use libgnutls, including gnutls-cli, fail to perform
1903 proper checks. Implementing similar logic in all applications leads
1904 to code duplication. Hence, we decided to check whether the current
1905 time (as reported by the time function) is within the
1906 activation/expiration period of certificates when verifying untrusted
1909 This changes the semantics of gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in
1910 turn is used by gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and
1911 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2. We add two new
1912 gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new error
1913 condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED. We also
1914 add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,

2066 ** certtool: Use inet_pton for parsing IPv6 addresses.
2068 ** Major changes compared to the v2.4 branch:
2070 *** Added API to replace and update the crypto backend.
2072 *** certtool: can add several subject alternative names via template file.
2074 *** opencdk: Parse (but not decrypt) encrypted secret keys.
2076 *** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name() was added that can
2077 either set or append alternative names. It can also handle binary structures
2078 such as IP addresses.
2080 *** libgnutls: New function to set minimum acceptable SRP bits.
2081 The function is gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.
2083 *** libgnutls: Add interface to deal with public key and signature algorithms.
2084 The functions are called gnutls_pk_list, gnutls_pk_get_id,
2085 gnutls_sign_list, and gnutls_sign_get_id.
2087 *** libgnutls: New interfaces to get name of public key and signing algorithms.
2088 The functions are gnutls_sign_get_name and gnutls_pk_get_name.
2090 *** libgnutls: New API to get a string corresponding to a error symbol.
2091 The function is gnutls_strerror_name.

2095 The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw.
2097 *** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
2098 The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
2099 it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
2101 *** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
2103 *** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
2104 The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
2105 for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
2106 types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
2107 classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
2110 *** libgnutls-extra: Add function to work with Libgcrypt in FIPS mode.
2111 The function is gnutls_register_md5_handler. When libgcrypt is in
2112 FIPS mode, MD5 is disabled, but TLS normally requires use of MD5 in
2115 *** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.6
2116 No functions have been removed or modified. The library should be
2117 fully backwards compatible on both the source and binary level.
2119 A new header file <gnutls/crypto.h> have been added. It contains
2120 definitions related to replacing the internal crypto functionality.
2121 All definitions and the header itself is experimental but supported.
2123 We have realized that the symbols TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE
2124 does not use the normal namespace. We have added GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE
2125 and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE, but the old symbols are still defined.
2127 The following functions have been added to libgnutls:
2131 gnutls_crypto_bigint_register2

2175 Modern libtool doesn't create wrapper script, so the self tests need
2176 to invoke certtool.exe under MinGW32+Wine.
2178 ** Uses autoconf 2.63, automake 1.10.1, libtool 2.2.6a.
2179 Automake warnings are now also enabled.

2191 such as IP addresses.
2193 ** libgnutls: Fix crash in hashing code when using non-libgcrypt handlers.
2195 ** libgnutls: New function to set minimum acceptable SRP bits.
2196 The function is gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits. Tiny patch by Kevin Quick

2277 ** libgnutls: Fix segmentation fault when generating private keys.
2278 Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.
2280 ** libgnutls: Remove code to import certificate chains in PKCS#7 format.
2281 The code has not worked since v0.9.0 and apparently nobody has missed
2282 it, so we decided to remove the code rather than fix it. If you have
2283 old certificate chains stored in PKCS#7 format, you can convert them
2284 to a list of PEM certificates by using 'certtool --p7-info'. Reported
2285 by Christian Grothoff <christian@grothoff.org>.
2287 ** opencdk: Parse (but not decrypt) encrypted secret keys.
2288 Contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.

2314 ** libgnutls: New API to set the public parameters in a certificate request
2315 ** from a private key.
2316 The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw. Inspired by
2317 discussion with "Zach C." <fxchip@gmail.com>.
2319 ** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
2320 The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
2321 it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
2323 ** libgnutls: Drop final comma after GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL in enum.
2324 Reported in <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106453>.
2326 ** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
2327 The new names are GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE. The old
2328 names are mapped to the new names in compat.h. These mappings will
2329 likely be removed more quickly than other mappings in that file due to
2330 the namespace violation.
2332 ** libgnutlsxx: Make it build when SRP is disabled.
2334 ** doc: Add doxygen files in doc/doxygen/.
2336 ** API and ABI modifications:

2342 TLS_MASTER_SIZE: DEPRECATED
2343 TLS_RANDOM_SIZE: DEPRECATED
2345 * Version 2.5.2 (released 2008-07-08)
2347 ** libgnutls: Fix bug in gnutls_dh_params_generate2.
2348 The prime and generator was swapped.
2350 ** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
2351 The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
2352 for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
2353 types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
2354 classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
2357 ** Move more code for TLS/IA extension from libgnutls to libgnutls-extra.
2358 This was made possible by using the new gnutls_ext_register interface.
2359 The TLS/IA functionality has only been supported through the
2360 libgnutls-extra library, so it makes sense for the code to belong

2378 ** Port fixes from v2.4.1 release, see below.
2380 ** Added API to replace and update the crypto backend.
2381 The header gnutls/crypto.h is now officially supported, and declares
2384 ** Rewritten opencdk crypto backend, to use the gnutls internal one.
2386 ** Update gnulib and translations.
2387 The gnulib gc crypto code has been removed since it was never finished
2388 and is no longer even used. An internal non-libgcrypt crypto
2389 implementation may be added in the future, but we'll decide that later

2401 gnutls_crypto_single_mac_register2: ADDED.
2403 * Version 2.4.3 (released 2009-02-06)
2405 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
2406 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
2407 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
2408 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
2409 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
2410 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
2411 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
2412 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
2413 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
2414 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
2415 <deengert@anl.gov> in
2416 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
2418 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
2419 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
2420 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
2421 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
2422 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
2423 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
2425 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
2426 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
2427 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
2428 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
2429 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
2430 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,

2522 *** derivation and PSK identity hints.
2523 The password derivation algorithms support is documented in
2524 draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt.
2526 *** The certtool --inder and --outder has been replaced by --inraw and --outraw.
2527 This aligns terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use DER encoding.
2528 The old parameters will continue to work for some time.
2530 *** Certtool now confirm passwords and changes permissions of private key files.
2532 *** The default handshake size limit has been increased to 48kb.
2533 It appears as if some valid handshakes are large due to sending many
2534 CA certificates. (The earlier limit was 16kb.)
2536 *** LZO compression is now disabled by default.
2537 The main reason is that LZO compression in TLS is not standardized,
2538 but license compatiblity issues with minilzo triggered us to make this
2541 *** Improvements for cross-compilation to Windows and OpenWRT.
2543 *** The look of the GTK-DOC manual has been improved.
2544 Major developer visible changes compared to the v2.2 branch:
2546 *** Full OpenPGP support is part of libgnutls, licensed under the LGPL.
2548 *** New APIs to access the raw X.509 Subject and Issuer DN's and
2549 *** elements from the certificate credentials structure.
2550 Thanks to Joe Orton.
2552 *** New APIs to improve working with username/passwords and PSK.
2554 *** Names of constants to affect certificate printing changed.
2555 The constants are used for OpenPGP too, which the names didn't
2556 reflect, so the following name change has been made:
2559 GNUTLS_X509_CRT_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL
2560 GNUTLS_X509_CRT_ONELINE GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE
2561 GNUTLS_X509_CRT_UNSIGNED_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL
2563 The old names will be mapped to the new names for some time.
2565 *** The function gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_id has been renamed to
2566 *** gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_key_id.
2567 A compatibility mapping exists to avoid breaking API backwards
2570 *** Replaced all uses of alloca with malloc and free.
2572 *** We no longer build with -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE.
2573 We have been unable to find a documented rationale for this practice.
2575 *** Of course, many smaller fixes have been made, see the ChangeLog file.
2577 *** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.4
2578 All OpenPGP related functions have been moved from libgnutls-extra to
2579 libgnutls, and several new functions have been added (see below).
2580 Before making the release, we discussed whether moving functions from
2581 libgnutls-extra to libgnutls would require us to increment the ABI
2582 version, but the general opinion was that this would not be required.
2583 All older functions continue to work the same. We are open to the
2584 possibility that this decision will lead to problem on some platform,
2585 and if it turns out that the Right Thing should have been to increment
2586 the shared library version, we would need to release an update within
2587 the 2.4.x branch that increments the shared library version.
2589 This release adds the following functions:
2591 gnutls_psk_client_get_hint
2592 gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint
2593 gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key
2595 Used to get/set the PSK identity hint, and derive PSK keys from
2596 passwords a'la netconf.
2598 gnutls_x509_dn_deinit
2599 gnutls_x509_dn_export
2600 gnutls_x509_dn_import
2603 Used to handle X.509 Certificate DN's directly.
2607 Converts a data buffer to hex. Useful for handling PSK/SRP shared
2610 gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas
2611 gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls
2612 gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring
2614 Functions for direct access to credential elements.
2616 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_auth_subkey

2654 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_revoked_status
2655 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_set_preferred_key_id
2657 New OpenPGP related functions.
2659 The function gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_id is the same as the old
2660 from gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_id, see above.
2662 The release also adds a new header file 'gnutls/crypto.h', however it
2663 is currently not used.
2665 ** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: New APIs to retrieve fingerprint from OpenPGP subkeys.
2666 Contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.
2668 ** API and ABI modifications:
2669 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_fingerprint: ADDED.
2670 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_fingerprint: ADDED.
2672 * Version 2.3.15 (released 2008-06-15)
2674 ** Disable the openpgp-certs self-tests.
2675 It results in failure under Wine and doesn't work on Debian buildds.
2677 ** API and ABI modifications:
2678 No changes since last version.
2680 * Version 2.3.14 (released 2008-06-11)
2682 ** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: Changed OpenPGP verification behaviour.
2683 An OpenPGP certificate is now only considered verified if all the user
2686 ** Examples: Make C++ example compile.
2687 Earlier it may have failed with an unresolved reference to strlen.
2689 ** Documentation: Doc fix for gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_oid.
2690 Reported by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>.
2692 ** API and ABI modifications:
2693 No changes since last version.
2695 * Version 2.3.13 (released 2008-06-07)
2697 ** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: Make OpenPGP handshakes work again.
2699 ** doc/: Add psktool to info index. Some minor cleanups.
2701 ** tests/: Added non-forking TLS handshake test, see tests/mini.c.
2703 ** tests/: Added libgcrypt.supp which can be used with valgrind.
2704 The file suppresses the known libgcrypt memory leaks, so they aren't
2705 printed when you run valgrind on the gnutls self-tests. Use it as
2706 follows: valgrind --suppressions=libgcrypt.supp ./x509self or add
2707 '--suppressions=/home/you/src/gnutls/tests/libgcrypt.supp' to your
2710 ** tests/: Reduce amount of debugging output by default.
2711 Use --verbose for each test to get the full output.
2713 ** tests/: Fix memory leaks in several self-tests.
2714 None of the self tests should be leaking memory when running valgrind
2715 or similar tools. (Known exceptions are dhepskself, pskself, and
2716 set_pkcs12_cred, which appear likely to be due to memory leaks in the
2719 ** API and ABI modifications:
2720 No changes since last version.
2722 * Version 2.3.12 (released 2008-06-04)
2724 ** Merge gnutls_with_netconf branch.
2726 *** libgnutls [PSK]: New API to retrieve PSK identity hint in client.
2727 The function is gnutls_psk_client_get_hint.
2729 *** libgnutls [PSK]: New API to set PSK identity hint in server.
2730 The function is gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint.
2732 *** libgnutls [PSK]: Support server key exchange with PSK identity hint.
2733 In the client, the message is parsed and the application can use
2734 gnutls_psk_client_get_hint to retrieve the hint. In the server, the
2735 message is sent if the application has specified a PSK identity hint
2736 using gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint.
2738 *** libgnutls [PSK]: Support Netconf PSK key derivation.
2739 The function gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key supports the PSK key
2740 derivation as specified in draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt. New self
2743 *** psktool: Support new --netconf-hint to generate PSK key from password.
2744 Uses the Netconf algorithm to derive PSK key from password.
2746 *** gnutls-serv: Support new --pskhint parameter to set PSK identity hint.
2748 *** gnutls-cli: Always support PSK modes, through a callback.
2749 The callback will derive a PSK key using Netconf algorithm. It will
2750 print the PSK identity hint to help the user.
2752 *** New PSK example client and server.
2753 See doc/examples/ex-client-psk.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-psk.c.
2755 ** libgnutls: Fix gnutls_x509_crl_set_version on arm platforms.
2756 The code didn't work properly on platforms where 'char' is unsigned,
2757 when you set version 0. Reported by Laurence Withers
2758 <l@lwithers.me.uk> in
2759 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2825>.
2761 ** libgnutls-openssl: added RAND_pseudo_bytes API.
2762 Patch from Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>.
2764 ** API and ABI modifications:
2765 RAND_pseudo_bytes: ADDED to libgnutls-openssl.
2766 gnutls_psk_client_get_hint: ADDED.
2767 gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint: ADDED.
2768 gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key: ADDED
2770 * Version 2.3.11 (released 2008-05-20)
2772 ** Fix flaw in fix for GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
2773 The flaw would result in incorrectly terminated sessions with the
2774 error "Decryption has failed" when the server sends a small packet
2775 (typically when the session is closed). Reported by Andreas Metzler
2776 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
2777 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2807>.
2779 ** Don't use gnulib headers when building C++ library.
2780 Fixes builds under Windows.
2782 ** Make umask a requirement.
2783 We don't know of any system that lacks it, even GNU CoreUtils use it
2786 ** Update gnulib files.
2787 Fixes a problem where it pulled in a replacement for memcmp under
2788 MinGW, which caused the C++ example to fail to build.
2790 ** API and ABI modifications:
2791 No changes since last version.
2793 * Version 2.3.10 (released 2008-05-19)
2795 ** Added wide wildcard hostname matching.
2796 Tiny patch by Jean-Philippe Garcia Ballester.
2798 ** Fix three security vulnerabilities. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1]
2799 Thanks to CERT-FI for finding the bugs and providing detailed reports,
2800 which allowed the bugs to be reproduced and fixed easily. Patches
2801 developed by Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. Any updates
2802 with more details about these vulnerabilities will be added to
2803 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
2805 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1]
2806 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending invalid server name.
2807 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
2808 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
2809 cause gnutls to store more session resumption data than what was
2810 allocated for, thus overwriting unallocated memory.
2812 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2]
2813 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending repeated client hellos.
2814 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
2815 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
2816 triggers a null-pointer dereference.
2818 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3]
2819 *** libgnutls: Fix crash in cipher padding decoding for invalid record lengths.
2820 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
2821 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
2822 cause gnutls to read memory beyond the end of the received record.
2824 ** libgnutlsxx: Updated API according to patches from Eduardo
2825 Villanueva Che (discussion at
2826 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2007-02/msg00017.html>)
2828 ** Use umask to restrict permissions to owner before creating a file.
2830 ** API and ABI modifications:
2831 No changes since last version.
2833 * Version 2.3.9 (released 2008-05-16)
2835 ** libgnutls: Fix build failures if SRP/OpenPGP is disabled.
2836 Based on report and tiny patches from
2837 <jared.jennings.ctr@eglin.af.mil>, see
2838 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106342>.
2840 ** libgnutls: Translation fixes.
2842 ** gnutls-cli: Fix so that PSK authentication works.
2843 Also improve manual to give example for gnutls-cli PSK authentication.
2845 ** certtool: Encrypting a private key now require a confirmed password.
2846 Before './certtool -k -8' would merely ask for a password once.
2847 Reported by Daniel 'NebuchadnezzaR' Dehennin
2848 <nebuchadnezzar@asgardr.info> see
2849 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364287>.
2851 ** certtool: When writing private keys to files, change permissions of file.
2852 Now the file which the private key is saved to is chmod'ed 0600.
2853 Reported by martin f krafft <madduck@debian.org> see
2854 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373169>.
2856 ** guile: Fix -fgnu89-inline test.
2858 ** Removed --enable-profile-mode.
2859 The code linked gnutls with the libfc project (Function Check) which
2860 appears to have been stalled since around 2002.
2862 ** Clean up header file checks by ./configure.
2864 ** Update of gnulib files.
2866 ** API and ABI modifications:
2867 No changes since last version.
2869 * Version 2.3.8 (released 2008-04-29)
2871 ** libgnutls: Increase default handshake packet size limit to 48kb.
2872 The old limit was 16kb and some servers send huge list of trusted CAs,
2873 thus running into the limit. FYI, applications can further increase
2874 this limit using gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length. Thanks to
2875 Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de> and "Marc F. Clemente"
2876 <marc@mclemente.net> for reporting and providing test servers.
2878 ** libgnutls: Add new error code: GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE
2879 Returned when the handshake data size is too large. Before
2880 GNUTLS_E_MEMORY_ERROR was used, which could be confused with other
2883 ** libgnutls: Hide definitions in crypto.h.
2884 We have decided that the APIs defined in crypto.h are not stable
2885 enough for v2.4, so don't use any of those functions.
2887 ** gnutls-cli: exit when hostname doesn't match certificate.
2888 Use --insecure to avoid hostname comparison.
2890 ** certtool: --inder and --outder replaced by --inraw and --outraw.
2891 The reason is to align terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use
2892 DER. The old parameters will continue to work for some time.
2894 ** doc: Add section 'Index of new symbols in 2.4.0' to the GTK-DOC manual.
2896 ** doc: Many cosmetic fixes, to silence (most) gtk-doc warnings.
2898 ** Mingw32: Revert libgcrypt vasprintf work-around added in last release.
2899 Use libgcrypt 1.4.1 or later when building on MinGW32, it removes the
2900 vasprintf symbol from the libgcrypt library which caused problems.
2902 ** Update of gnulib files.
2904 ** tests: New self-test of crypto.h RNG code tests/crypto_rng.
2906 ** API and ABI modifications:
2907 GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE: ADDED.
2909 * Version 2.3.7 (released 2008-04-21)
2911 ** opencdk now properly sets the key usage bits into openpgp keys.
2913 ** gnutls-cli: Fix crash on TLS handshake failures.
2914 Reported by "Marc F. Clemente" <marc@mclemente.net> in Debian BTS #466477.
2915 This is similar to <http://bugs.debian.org/429183>.
2917 ** certtool: with --generate-request and newly generated keys, print the key.
2919 ** Build fixes for MinGW.
2920 Missing rpl_fseeko symbol in lib/opencdk/. Better checks for linking
2921 with -lws2_32 when needed. Use ASCII only isprint() when printing
2922 X.509 certificate information, to avoid non-ASCII but printable
2923 characters. Thanks to Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> for
2926 ** Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.4.
2928 ** API and ABI modifications:
2929 No changes since last version.
2931 * Version 2.3.6 (released 2008-04-17)
2933 ** Make gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 set certificate request version if not set.
2934 ** Improve documentation for gnutls_x509_crq_sign2.
2935 Based on report from "John Brooks" <aspecialj@gmail.com> in
2936 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1154>.
2938 ** tests/pathlen: run diff without parameters to improve portability.

2943 Reported by Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> in
2944 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1170>.
2946 ** Remove all uses of gnutls_alloca/gnutls_afree.
2947 Use normal gnutls_malloc instead. One reason is increased portability
2948 to Windows, the other is that several of the uses may be unsafe
2949 because the size of data allocated could be large. Reported by
2950 Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> in
2951 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1170>.

2954 Reported by Kris Karas <ktk@enterprise.bidmc.harvard.edu> in
2955 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2708>.
2957 ** Several GTK-DOC related fixes.
2959 ** Clean up OpenCDK related code.
2960 GnuTLS now requires its internal OpenCDK code rather than the external
2961 GPL library OpenCDK. Unfortunately, we don't have resources to
2962 maintain an external library (help welcome).
2964 ** API and ABI modifications:
2965 No changes since last version.
2967 * Version 2.3.5 (released 2008-04-14)
2969 ** Build fix for MinGW and --disable-shared.

2973 ** Document how to generate CRLs.
2974 Suggested by "Rainer Gerhards" <rgerhards@gmail.com>.
2976 ** Documented the --priority option to gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
2978 ** Several minor fixes in the OpenPGP interface.

2985 ** Translations files not stored directly in git to avoid merge conflicts.
2987 ** New APIs to let applications replace the RNG used.
2988 Update all RNG callers in the code to use the new interface.
2990 ** Guile code now built with -fgnu89-inline to fix inline semantic problem.
2992 ** Update gnulib files.
2994 ** API and ABI modifications:

3001 GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224: ADDED
3002 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA224: ADDED
3003 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_auth_subkey: MODIFIED
3005 * Version 2.3.4 (released 2008-03-19)
3007 ** Finish renaming of gnutls_certificate_export_x509_cas etc.
3008 They weren't renamed in the public header file.
3010 ** Added functions to register a cipher/mac/digest. This allows to
3011 override the included ones.
3013 ** Fix a bunch of compiler warnings.
3015 ** API and ABI modifications:
3016 gnutls_crypto_cipher_st: ADDED

3024 * Version 2.3.3 (released 2008-03-10)
3026 ** Fix build failure in libextra/gnutls_extra.c that needed opencdk.h.
3027 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org>.
3029 ** No longer compiled using -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE.
3030 We could not find any modern justification for enabling these flags by
3031 default. If you know of some platform that needs one of the flags to
3032 work properly, please let us know. (Actually introduced in v2.3.0 but
3033 not documented until now.)
3035 ** Importing many CA certificates are now considerably faster.
3036 This affect gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_mem,
3037 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust, and
3038 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file. The complexity was reduced
3039 from O(2*n^2) to O(n). When adding 206 files containing 408
3040 certificates, using gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file, the time
3041 dropped from 40 seconds to 0.3 seconds. Thanks to Edgar Fuß for code
3042 to trigger the problem. See also

3056 ** Updated translations.
3058 ** Update gnulib files.
3060 ** API and ABI modifications:
3061 gnutls_hex2bin: MODIFIED, uses size_t instead of int for string length,
3062 and char* instead of void* for output buffer.
3064 * Version 2.3.2 (released 2008-02-26)
3066 ** Fix srcdir!=objdir failure in openpgpself test.
3068 ** Improved API documentation output from GTK-DOC.
3070 ** Added gnutls_x509_dn_export(). Patch by Joe Orton.
3072 ** Renamed gnutls_certificate_export_x509_cas and friends.
3073 See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-02/msg00043.html>.
3075 ** Internal header files cleanup.

3081 gnutls_x509_dn_export: ADDED
3083 * Version 2.3.1 (released 2008-02-21)
3085 ** OpenPGP support merged into libgnutls and is now licensed under LGPL.
3086 The included copy of OpenCDK has been stripped down and re-licensed
3089 ** Cipher priority string handling now handle strings that starts with NULL.
3090 Thanks to Laurence Withers <l@lwithers.me.uk>.
3092 ** gnutls-cli: When -d is used, also prints RNG information from libgcrypt.
3094 ** Corrected memory leaks in session resuming and DHE ciphersuites. Reported
3097 ** Increased the default certificate verification chain limits and allowed
3098 for checks without limitation.
3100 ** Corrected the behaviour of gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name()
3101 and gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name() to not null terminate binary
3102 strings and return the proper size.
3104 ** Add section 'On Record Padding' to the manual.
3105 This collects all problems related to record padding with
3106 Nokia/Sony-Ericsson phones that we know about.
3108 ** Several improvements in the OpenPGP authentication.
3109 Now subkeys can be used for authentication, according to
3110 draft-mavrogiannopoulos-rfc5081bis-00.txt.

3169 GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL: ADDED, same as
3170 old GNUTLS_X509_CRT_UNSIGNED_FULL.
3172 * Version 2.3.0 (released 2008-01-08)
3174 ** LZO compression is now disabled by default.
3175 The reason is that LZO compression is not standardized in TLS. If you
3176 wish to experiment with it, you will have to supply --with-lzo when
3177 invoking ./configure. The internal copy of minilzo is no longer
3178 included with GnuTLS, so you will need to install liblzo or liblzo2 on
3179 your system to have --with-lzo to be effective.
3181 ** More than one server name field is now sent to the server properly.
3182 Thanks to mark.phillips@virgin.net.
3184 ** Fixes the post_client_hello_function(). The extensions are now parsed
3185 in a callback friendly way.
3187 ** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
3189 ** Updated translations.
3191 ** Update gnulib files.
3193 ** API and ABI modifications:
3194 No changes since last version.
3196 * Version 2.2.5 (released 2008-05-19)
3198 ** Fix flaw in fix for GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
3199 The flaw would result in incorrectly terminated sessions with the
3200 error "Decryption has failed" when the server sends a small packet
3201 (typically when the session is closed). Reported by Andreas Metzler
3202 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
3203 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2807>.
3205 ** API and ABI modifications:
3206 No changes since last version.
3208 * Version 2.2.4 (released 2008-05-19)
3210 ** Fix three security vulnerabilities. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1]
3211 Thanks to CERT-FI for finding the bugs and providing detailed reports,
3212 which allowed the bugs to be reproduced and fixed easily. Patches
3213 developed by Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. Any updates
3214 with more details about these vulnerabilities will be added to
3215 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
3217 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1]
3218 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending invalid server name.
3219 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
3220 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
3221 cause gnutls to store more session resumption data than what was
3222 allocated for, thus overwriting unallocated memory.
3224 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2]
3225 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending repeated client hellos.
3226 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
3227 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
3228 triggers a null-pointer dereference.
3230 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3]
3231 *** libgnutls: Fix crash in cipher padding decoding for invalid record lengths.
3232 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
3233 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
3234 cause gnutls to read memory beyond the end of the received record.
3236 ** API and ABI modifications:
3237 No changes since last version.
3239 * Version 2.2.3 (released 2008-05-06)
3241 ** Increase default handshake packet size limit to 48kb.
3242 The old limit was 16kb and some servers send huge list of trusted CAs,
3243 thus running into the limit. FYI, applications can further increase
3244 this limit using gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length. Thanks to
3245 Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de> and "Marc F. Clemente"
3246 <marc@mclemente.net> for reporting and providing test servers.
3248 ** Fix compilation error related to __FUNCTION__ on some systems.
3249 Reported by Tim Mooney, see
3250 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106267>.
3252 ** Documented the --priority option to gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
3254 ** Fix fopen file descriptor leak in PSK server code.
3255 Thanks to Laurence Withers <l@lwithers.me.uk>, see
3256 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-04/msg00002.html>.

3264 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2746>.
3266 ** API and ABI modifications:
3267 No changes since last version.
3269 * Version 2.2.2 (released 2008-02-21)
3271 ** Cipher priority string handling now handle strings that starts with NULL.
3272 Thanks to Laurence Withers <l@lwithers.me.uk>.
3274 ** Corrected memory leaks in session resuming and DHE ciphersuites. Reported
3277 ** Increased the default certificate verification chain limits and allowed
3278 for checks without limitation.
3280 ** Corrected the behaviour of gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name()
3281 and gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name() to not null terminate binary
3282 strings and return the proper size.
3284 ** API and ABI modifications:
3285 No changes since last version.
3287 * Version 2.2.1 (released 2008-01-17)
3289 ** Prevent linking libextra against previously installed libgnutls.
3290 Tiny patch from "Alon Bar-Lev" <alon.barlev@gmail.com>, see
3291 <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202269>.
3293 ** Fixes the post_client_hello_function(). The extensions are now parsed
3294 in a callback friendly way.
3296 ** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
3298 ** API and ABI modifications:
3299 No changes since last version.
3301 * Version 2.2.0 (released 2007-12-14)
3303 ** Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.2.
3305 ** Certtool --verify-chain now handle inputs larger than 64kb.
3306 This fixes the self-test "rsa-md5-collision" under MinGW+Wine with
3307 recent versions of libgcrypt. The problem was that Wine with the
3308 libgcrypt RNG generates huge amounts of debugging output.
3310 ** Translation updates.
3311 Added Dutch translation. Updated Polish and Swedish translation.
3313 ** Major changes compared to the v2.0 branch:
3315 *** SRP support aligned with newly published RFC 5054.
3317 *** OpenPGP support aligned with newly published RFC 5081.
3319 *** Support for DSA2 keys.
3321 *** Support for Camellia cipher.
3323 *** Support for Opaque PRF Input extension.
3325 *** PKCS#8 parser now handle DSA keys.
3327 *** Change from GPLv2 to GPLv3 for command-line tools, libgnutls-extra, etc.
3328 Notice that liblzo2 2.02 is licensed under GPLv2 only. Earlier
3329 versions, such as 2.01 which is included with GnuTLS, is available
3330 under GPLv2 or later. If this incompatibility causes problems, we
3331 recommend you to disable LZO using --without-lzo. LZO compression is
3332 not a standard TLS compression algorithm, so the impact should be
3335 *** Functions for disabling record protocol padding.
3336 Works around bugs on Nokia/Ericsson phones.
3338 *** New functions gnutls_priority_set() for setting cipher priorities easily.
3339 Priorities like "COMPAT" also enables other work arounds, such as
3342 *** Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
3344 ** Backwards incompatible API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.2
3345 To adapt to changes in the TLS extension specifications for OpenPGP
3346 and SRP, the GnuTLS API had to be modified. This means breaking the
3347 API and ABI backwards compatibility. That is something we try to
3348 avoid unless it is necessary. We decided to also remove the already
3349 deprecated stub functions for X.509 to XML conversion and TLS
3350 authorization (see below) when we had the opportunity.
3352 Generally, most applications does not need to be modified. Just
3353 re-compile them against the latest GnuTLS release, and it should work
3356 Applications that use the OpenPGP or SRP features needs to be
3357 modified. Below is a list of the modified APIs and discussion of what
3358 the minimal things you need to modify in your application to make it
3359 work with GnuTLS 2.2.
3361 Note that GnuTLS 2.2 also introduces new APIs -- such as
3362 gnutls_set_priority() that is superior to
3363 gnutls_set_default_priority() -- that you may want to start using.
3364 However, using those new APIs is not required to use GnuTLS 2.2 since
3365 the old functions continue are still supported. This text only
3366 discuss what you minimally have to modify.
3368 *** XML related changes
3369 The function `gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml' has been removed. It has been
3370 deprecated and only returned an error code since GnuTLS version
3371 1.2.11. Nobody has complained, so users doesn't seem to miss the
3372 functionality. We don't know of any other library to convert X.509
3373 certificates into XML format, but we decided (long ago) that GnuTLS
3374 isn't the right place for this kind of functionality. If you want
3375 help to find some other library to use here, please explain and
3376 discuss your use case on help-gnutls@gnu.org.
3378 *** TLS Authorization related changes
3379 Everything related to TLS authorizations have been removed, they were
3380 only stub functions that returned an error code:
3382 GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_AUTHZ_DATA
3383 gnutls_authz_data_format_type_t
3384 gnutls_authz_recv_callback_func
3385 gnutls_authz_send_callback_func
3387 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert
3388 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion
3389 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert_url
3390 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion_url
3392 *** SRP related changes
3393 The callback gnutls_srp_client_credentials_function has a new
3394 prototype, and its semantic has changed. You need to rewrite the
3395 callback, see the updated function documentation and SRP example code
3396 (doc/examples/ex-client-srp.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-srp.c) for more
3399 The alert codes GNUTLS_A_MISSING_SRP_USERNAME and
3400 GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME are no longer used by the SRP
3401 specification, instead the GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY alert is
3402 used. There are #define's to map the old names to the new. You may
3403 run into problems if you have a switch-case with cases for both SRP
3404 alerts, since they are now mapped to the same value. The solution is
3405 to drop the SRP alerts from such switch cases, as they are now
3406 deprecated in favor of GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY.
3408 *** OpenPGP related changes
3409 The function `gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyserver' have been
3410 removed. There is no replacement functionality inside GnuTLS. If you
3411 need keyserver functionality, consider using the GnuPG tools.
3413 All functions, types, and error codes related to OpenPGP trustdb
3414 format have been removed. The trustdb format is a non-standard
3415 GnuPG-specific format, and we recommend you to use key rings instead.
3416 The following have been removed:
3418 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_trustdb
3419 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_init
3420 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_deinit
3421 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_import
3422 gnutls_openpgp_key_verify_trustdb
3423 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_t
3424 GNUTLS_E_OPENPGP_TRUSTDB_VERSION_UNSUPPORTED
3426 The following functions has an added parameter of the (new) type
3427 `gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t'. The type specify the format of the data
3428 (binary or base64). The functions are:
3429 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_file
3430 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_mem
3431 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_mem
3432 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_file
3434 To improve terminology and align with the X.509 interface, some
3435 functions have been renamed. Compatibility mappings exists. The old
3436 and new names of the affected functions and types are:
3439 gnutls_openpgp_key_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_t
3440 gnutls_openpgp_key_fmt_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t
3441 gnutls_openpgp_key_status_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_status_t
3442 GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT
3443 GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY_FINGERPRINT GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT_FINGERPRINT
3444 gnutls_openpgp_key_init gnutls_openpgp_crt_init

3526 * Version 2.1.6 (released 2007-11-15)
3528 ** Corrected bug in decompression of expanded compression data.
3530 ** Added the --to-p8 option to certtool to convert private keys
3533 ** Introduced the GNUTLS_E_BASE64_UNEXPECTED_HEADER_ERROR error code.
3535 ** gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_* can now read PKCS #8 unencrypted
3538 ** Fixed GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM vs GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM.
3539 During the 2.1.x series the GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM error code
3540 was renamed to GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM, unfortunately without being
3541 documented. This caused some problems (e.g., debian #450854). To
3542 avoid backwards compatibility problems, this release revert this
3543 change, so that GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM works just like it has
3544 done in GnuTLS 2.0.x and earlier, and add a new error code
3545 GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM.
3547 ** Fixes several gtk-doc warnings.
3549 ** API and ABI modifications:
3550 GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM: CHANGED.
3551 GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM: CHANGED.
3552 GNUTLS_E_BASE64_UNEXPECTED_HEADER_ERROR: ADD.
3554 * Version 2.1.5 (released 2007-11-01)
3556 ** Fix PKCS#3 parameter export problem.
3558 ** Improve certtool queries, they now print the default value.
3562 ** Update gnulib files.
3564 ** API and ABI modifications:
3565 No changes since last version.
3567 * Version 2.1.4 (released 2007-10-27)
3569 ** Added the --v1 option to certtool, to allow generating X.509
3570 version 1 certificates.
3572 ** certtool: Add option --disable-quick-random to enable the old behaviour
3573 of using /dev/random to generate keys.
3575 ** Added priority functions that accept strings.
3577 ** Added gnutls_set_default_priority2() which accepts a flag to indicate
3578 priorities preferences.
3580 ** Added gnutls_record_disable_padding() to allow servers talking to
3581 buggy clients that complain if the TLS 1.0 record protocol padding is
3584 ** Introduced gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode() to allow enabling
3585 all supported compatibility options (like disabling padding).
3587 ** The gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_* functions were modified to include
3588 the format. This makes the interface consistent with the x509 functions.
3590 ** Internal copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.5.

3629 * Version 2.1.3 (released 2007-10-17)
3631 ** TLS authorization support removed.
3632 This technique may be patented in the future, and it is not of crucial
3633 importance for the Internet community. After deliberation we have
3634 concluded that the best thing we can do in this situation is to
3635 encourage society not to adopt this technique. We have decided to
3636 lead the way with our own actions.
3638 ** Re-enabled the 256 bit ciphers in the default priorities.

3653 GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_USER_MAPPING_DATA: ADDED. To avoid that the
3654 gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t enum type becomes empty.
3656 * Version 2.1.2 (released 2007-10-14)
3658 ** Removed all the trustdb code from openpgp authentication.
3659 We now use only the well-specified keyrings.
3661 ** The 256 bit ciphers are not enabled in the default priorities.
3663 ** Added support for DSA2 using libgcrypt 1.3.0.
3665 ** certtool: Fixed data corruption when using --outder.
3667 ** Removed all the xml related stubs and functions.
3669 ** Added capability to set a callback after the client hello is received
3670 by the server in order to adjust parameters before the handshake.

3698 * Version 2.1.1 (released 2007-09-24)
3700 ** Added support for Camellia cipher, thanks to Yoshisato YANAGISAWA.
3701 Camellia is only enabled in GnuTLS if the installed libgcrypt has been
3702 compiled with Camellia support. See the libgcrypt documentation on
3703 how to enable it. Unconditionally disable it using the configure
3704 option --disable-camellia. Fixes #1.
3706 ** Properly document in the NEWS file the API change in the last release.
3708 ** API and ABI modifications:
3709 No changes since last version.
3711 * Version 2.1.0 (released 2007-09-20)
3713 ** Support for draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt.
3714 The support is disabled by default. Since no value has been allocated
3715 by the IANA for this extension yet, you will need to provide one
3716 yourself by invoking './configure --enable-opaque-prf-input=42'.
3719 ** Example code: Fix compilation flaw under MinGW.
3721 ** API and ABI modifications:
3722 gnutls_oprfi_callback_func: ADD, new typedef function prototype.
3723 gnutls_oprfi_enable_client: ADD, new function.
3724 gnutls_oprfi_enable_server: ADD, new function.
3726 * Version 2.0.4 (released 2007-11-16)
3728 ** Corrected bug in decompression of expanded compression data.
3730 ** API and ABI modifications:
3731 No changes since last version.
3733 * Version 2.0.3 (released 2007-11-10)
3735 ** This version backports several fixes from the 2.1.x branch.
3737 ** Fixed PKCS #3 parameter export.
3739 ** Added gnutls_record_disable_padding() to allow servers talking to
3740 buggy clients that complain if the TLS 1.0 record protocol padding is

3753 * Version 2.0.2 (released 2007-10-17)
3755 ** TLS authorization support removed.
3756 This technique may be patented in the future, and it is not of crucial
3757 importance for the Internet community. After deliberation we have
3758 concluded that the best thing we can do in this situation is to
3759 encourage society not to adopt this technique. We have decided to
3760 lead the way with our own actions.
3762 ** certtool: Fixed data corruption when using --outder.
3764 ** Fix configure-time Guile detection.
3766 ** API and ABI modifications:
3767 GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_USER_MAPPING_DATA: ADDED. To avoid that the
3768 gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t enum type becomes empty.
3770 * Version 2.0.1 (released 2007-09-20)
3772 ** New directory doc/credentials/ with test credentials.
3773 This collects the test credentials from the web page and from src/.
3774 The script gnutls-http-serv has also been moved to that directory.
3776 ** Update SRP extension type and cipher suite with official IANA values.
3777 This breaks backwards compatibility with SRP in older versions of
3778 GnuTLS, but this is intentional to speed up the adoption of the
3779 official values. The old values we used were incorrect.
3781 ** Guile: Fix `x509-certificate-dn-oid'
3783 ** API and ABI modifications:
3784 No changes since last version.
3786 * Version 2.0.0 (released 2007-09-04)
3788 ** Included copy of Libtasn1 upgraded to version 1.1.
3790 ** Disable building of some examples if anonymous ciphers are disabled.
3792 ** Don't build examples for disabled features.
3794 ** API and ABI modifications:
3795 No changes since last version.
3797 * Version 1.7.19 (released 2007-08-27)
3799 ** Fix gnutls_error_is_fatal so that positive "errors" are non-critical.
3800 This solves connection problems in mutt, see
3801 <http://bugs.debian.org/439640>.
3803 ** Update gnulib files.
3804 In particular, the getpass module -- with its dependencies on getline,
3805 getdelim, fseeko etc -- where moved from the lgl/ (used by the core
3806 library) directory to the gl/ directory (only used by the command line
3807 tools). The reason is that getpass is now only used by the
3808 command-line tools, and reducing the number of gnulib modules linked
3809 to the core library helps portability and reduces size.
3813 ** Disable building of PGP examples if PGP is disabled.
3815 ** Included copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.4.
3817 ** API and ABI modifications:
3818 No changes since last version.
3820 * Version 1.7.18 (released 2007-08-16)
3822 ** Install images for the info manual.
3823 This has a side effect of renaming the images. See
3824 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.texinfo.bugs/3533> for
3825 discussions on the approach chosen.
3827 ** Fix pointer mix to variables of different size.
3828 Patch extracted from
3829 <http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/gnutls/gnutls-1.6.3-incompat-pointers.patch?rev=1.1&view=auto>.
3831 ** Fix warnings during build.
3832 Thanks to Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
3834 ** API and ABI modifications:
3835 No changes since last version.
3837 * Version 1.7.17 (released 2007-08-15)
3839 ** New functions to perform external signing.
3840 Set the signing callback function (of the gnutls_sign_func prototype)
3841 using the gnutls_sign_callback_set function. In the callback, you may
3842 find the new functions gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash and
3843 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash useful. A new function
3844 gnutls_sign_callback_get is also added, to retrieve the function
3845 pointer. Thanks to "Alon Bar-Lev" <alon.barlev@gmail.com> for
3846 comments and testing.
3848 ** New self test of client and server authenticated X.509 TLS sessions.
3849 See tests/x509self.c and tests/x509signself.c. The latter also tests
3850 the new external signing callback interface.
3852 ** New errors GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN..GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX.
3853 These two actually describe the outer limits of a range of error codes
3854 reserved to the application. All of the errors are treated as fatal
3855 by the library (it has to since it doesn't know the semantics of the
3856 error codes). This can be useful in callbacks, to signal some
3857 application-specific error condition, which will usually eventually
3858 cause some gnutls API to return the same error code as the callback,
3859 which then can be inspected by the application. Note that error codes
3862 ** gnutls_set_default_priority now disable TLS 1.2 by default.
3863 The RFC is not released yet, and we're approaching a major release so
3864 let's not enable it just yet.
3866 ** Fix namespace so that gnutls_*_t is used consistently.
3867 Before, many places in the GnuTLS code used the old deprecated type
3868 names without the '_t' suffix.
3870 ** Build fixes for Guile code.
3871 Patch from Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
3873 ** More documentation fixes.
3874 In particular, the section headings were modified for casing. By
3875 Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
3877 ** Updated Polish and Swedish translations.
3878 Thanks to Jakub Bogusz <qboosh@pld-linux.org> and Daniel Nylander
3879 <po@danielnylander.se>.
3881 ** API and ABI modifications:
3882 gnutls_sign_func: ADD, new type for sign callback.
3883 gnutls_sign_callback_set: ADD, new function to set sign callback.
3884 gnutls_sign_callback_get: ADD, new function to retrieve sign callback.
3885 gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash,
3886 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash: ADD, new functions useful in sign callback.
3887 GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN,
3888 GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX: ADD, new CPP #defines for error codes.
3890 * Version 1.7.16 (released 2007-08-07)
3892 ** Fix sanity checks and return values in certificate selection.
3893 In some cases, GnuTLS omitted to report suitable error codes when no
3894 suitable certificate was found.
3896 ** Fix gnutls-cli starttls EOF on Mac OS X.
3897 Thanks to Hal Eden <n.mavrogiannopoulos@gmail.com>.
3899 ** Documentation fixes.
3900 In particular, the section headings were modified for casing. By
3901 Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
3903 ** Update gnulib files.
3905 ** API and ABI modifications:
3906 No changes since last version.
3908 * Version 1.7.15 (released 2007-07-02)
3910 ** Fix self-tests key-id under mingw32.
3912 ** Test that the Guile header files are recent enough to work.
3913 Before we just tested that the command line tool 'guile' was recent
3914 enough, which may not be sufficient if you still have an old
3915 libguile.h header installed.
3917 ** Guile bindings are now installed under $prefix by default.
3918 Use --without-guile-site-dir to install it under $pkgdatadir/site/
3919 where $pkgdatadir is as returned by "guile-config info pkgdatadir".
3920 Use --with-guile-site-dir=/your/own/path to specify the path manually.
3921 The default, --with-guile-site-dir, will install the Guile bindings
3922 under $datadir/guile/site. There is a new section 'Guile
3923 Preparations' in the manual that discuss these issues.
3925 ** Fix run-time library path ordering in linking the Guile bindings.
3927 ** Improved manual on downloading, installing, getting help, bug reports etc.
3928 Suggested by Ludovic Courtès <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
3930 ** Add Malay message translations.

3978 * Version 1.7.12 (released 2007-06-08)
3980 ** Guile bindings for GnuTLS have been included.
3981 Contributed by Ludovic Courtès <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>. There is a
3982 new chapter 'Guile Bindings' in the manual.
3984 ** Have PKCS8 parser return better error codes.
3985 Reported by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>, see
3986 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001653.html> and

3991 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-April/001539.html>.
3994 Reported by Dennis Vshivkov <walrus@amur.ru>, see
3995 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=333050>. Added
3996 self-test tests/parse_ca.c to test regressions.
3998 ** Fix build failures related to missing images in manual.
3999 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.

4011 ** API and ABI modifications:
4012 No changes since last version.
4014 * Version 1.7.10 (released 2007-05-25)
4016 ** New API functions to extract DER encoded X.509 Subject/Issuer DN.
4017 Suggested by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>.
4019 ** Update of gnulib files.
4021 ** GnuTLS is now developed in GIT instead of CVS.
4022 See <http://repo.or.cz/w/gnutls.git> for a public repository.
4024 ** API and ABI modifications:
4025 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn: ADD.
4026 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_dn: ADD.
4028 * Version 1.7.9 (released 2007-05-12)
4030 ** X.509 certificates are preferred over OpenPGP keys.
4031 This is a change in the semantics of gnutls_set_default_priority.
4033 ** The included copy of OpenCDK has been updated to 0.6.1.
4034 There has been some API changes in OpenCDK, and the GnuTLS layer have
4035 been modified as well. Note that while there are API/ABI incompatible
4036 changes in OpenCDK, this does not influence GnuTLS's API/ABI because
4037 its API/ABI have not changed. From this version on, GnuTLS requires
4038 OpenCDK 0.6.0 or later.
4040 ** Fix build failure caused by missing doc/gnutls-logo.pdf.
4042 ** Change certtool's default serial number from 0 to a time-based value.
4044 ** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields.
4045 Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly
4046 different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification
4047 failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other
4048 implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs
4049 you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear
4050 to be consistent with other widely used implementations.
4052 ** Fix mem leaks in gnutls_x509_crt_print.
4054 ** API and ABI modifications:
4055 No changes since last version.
4057 * Version 1.7.8 (released 2007-04-16)
4059 ** Added examples for the authorization extension.
4060 See doc/examples/ex-client-authz.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-authz.c.
4062 ** The examples only use gnutls_set_default_priority().
4063 The exception is when DH_ANON is needed.
4065 ** Improve gnutls_set_default_priority() priorities.
4066 The new approach is for it to try and negotiate all secure and
4067 standard mechanisms available. Currently, DH_ANON ciphersuites and
4068 LZO compressions are not enabled by default, because they are,
4069 respectively, insecure and non-standardized. Note that TLS 1.2 will
4070 not be enabled by default in non-experimental release until it has
4071 been approved by the IETF.
4073 ** gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv now uses the library's default priorities.
4074 This means that to get DH_ANON and LZO compression, you'll need to
4075 specify that manually using '--kx anon' or '--comp lzo'.
4077 ** Minor fixes to the human display format of X.509 certificates.
4079 ** New APIs to extract Distinguished Name's from X.509 certificates.
4080 Based on patch from Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>.
4082 ** Improved library searching for opencdk.
4083 It will now add the appropriate -R or -Wl,-rpath flags as necessary.
4084 The deprecated opencdk.m4 is no longer used.
4086 ** New APIs to list supported algorithms in the library.
4087 The APIs are gnutls_cipher_list, gnutls_mac_list,
4088 gnutls_compression_list, gnutls_protocol_list,
4089 gnutls_certificate_type_list, gnutls_kx_list, and
4090 gnutls_cipher_suite_info. Suggested by Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>.
4092 ** The gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_id API now handle non-RSA/DSA keys.
4094 ** New configure option --disable-tls-authorization to disable tls-authz.
4096 ** Fix prototype for `gnutls_psk_set_client_credentials'.
4097 The last parameter was renamed from 'flags' to 'format' and the type
4098 changed from 'unsigned int' to 'gnutls_psk_key_flags' (an enum type),
4099 which shouldn't cause any ABI changes. Reported by ludo@chbouib.org
4102 ** Fix allocation in gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key.
4103 Tiny patch from ludo@chbouib.org (Ludovic Courtès).
4105 ** API and ABI modifications:
4106 gnutls_x509_dn_t: ADD.
4107 gnutls_x509_ava_st: ADD.
4108 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject,
4109 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer: ADD.
4110 gnutls_x509_dn_get_rdn_ava: ADD.
4111 gnutls_cipher_list: ADD.
4112 gnutls_mac_list: ADD.
4113 gnutls_compression_list: ADD.
4114 gnutls_protocol_list: ADD.
4115 gnutls_certificate_type_list: ADD.
4116 gnutls_kx_list: ADD.
4117 gnutls_cipher_suite_info: ADD.
4119 * Version 1.7.7 (released 2007-02-22)
4121 ** Support for supplemental handshake messages and authorization data.
4122 Supplemental data is described in RFC 4680 and the authorization
4123 extensions in draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.
4125 ** Support for authorization data in gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
4126 New parameters --authz-x509-attr-cert and --authz-saml-assertion.
4128 ** Fix for gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname.
4129 Before it would have reported that the certificate matched a hostname
4130 when it did not have any dNSName or any CN field. Report and tiny
4131 patch from "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@redhat.com>.
4133 ** New self test for RFC 2818 comparison in gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname.
4134 Tests regressions of the bug, and several other features.
4136 ** GnuTLS now matches URI's with IP Addresses against iPAddress SAN's.
4137 Before there were no support for iPAddress SAN's during comparison.
4139 ** New API to print information about CRL's.
4140 The function is gnutls_x509_crl_print.
4142 ** New API to extract signature value from CRL's.
4143 The function is gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature.
4145 ** Support for directoryName Subject Alternative Name's.
4146 The gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name function returns the DN as a
4147 string in the provided buffer.
4149 ** Internal improvements to certtool.
4150 It uses gnutls_x509_crl_print to print CRL information. It uses some
4151 more gnulib modules to simplify error handling.
4153 ** API and ABI modifications:
4154 GNUTLS_HANDSHAKE_SUPPLEMENTAL: ADD, new gnutls_handshake_description_t element.
4155 gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t: ADD.
4156 gnutls_authz_data_format_type_t: ADD.
4157 gnutls_supplemental_get_name: ADD.
4158 gnutls_authz_recv_callback_func,
4159 gnutls_authz_send_callback_func: ADD, callback prototypes.
4160 gnutls_authz_enable: ADD.
4161 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert,
4162 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion,
4163 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert_url,
4164 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion_url: ADD.
4165 GNUTLS_SAN_DN: ADD, new gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t element.
4166 gnutls_x509_crl_print: ADD.
4167 gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature: ADD.
4169 * Version 1.7.6 (released 2007-02-12)
4171 ** Support for 'otherName' Subject Alternative Names.
4172 The existing API gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name may now return
4173 the new type GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME together with the otherName value.
4174 To find out the otherName OID (necessary for proper parsing of the
4175 value), use the new API gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid.
4176 For known OIDs, gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid will
4177 return "virtual" SAN values, e.g., GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP to
4178 simplify OID matching. Suggested by Matthias Wimmer <m@tthias.eu>.
4180 ** Certtool can print otherName SAN values for certificates.
4181 For known otherName OIDs (currently only id-on-xmppAddr as defined by
4182 RFC 3920), it will also print the name.
4184 ** Fix TLS 1.2 RSA signing in servers.
4185 Before it used the old-style MD5+SHA1 signature, but the TLS
4186 signatures should be normal PKCS#1 signatures. FYI, we use and
4187 require that DigestInfo parameters are present and NULL for TLS 1.2.
4189 ** Add APIs to access X.509 extensions sequentially.
4190 The existing APIs gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_oid() and
4191 gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_by_oid() does not permit callers to
4192 inspect the extensions in the order defined by the certificate.
4194 ** Add API to extract signature value from X.509 certificates.
4195 The function is gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature.
4197 ** Fix crash when generating proxy certificates in batch mode.
4198 If you don't specify a proxy policy in batch mode, it will use
4201 ** Add API to print information about X.509 certificates.
4202 The function is gnutls_x509_crt_print.
4204 ** Certtool uses the new API gnutls_x509_crt_print to print certificate info.
4205 One consequence of this is that the output syntax has changed
4206 slightly. Some more fields are printed.
4210 ** API and ABI modifications:
4211 gnutls_x509_crt_print: ADD
4212 gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t: ADD, new enum.
4213 gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature: ADD.
4214 gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_data: ADD.
4215 gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_info: ADD.
4216 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid: ADD.
4217 GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME: ADD, new gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t element.
4218 GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP: ADD, new gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t element.
4220 * Version 1.7.5 (released 2007-02-06)
4222 ** Servers won't negotiate SRP RSA/DSS cipher suites if no SRP credential
4225 ** Default behaviour for the gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv tools improved.
4227 ** Fix --list output for gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
4228 Mention TLS1.2, SHA512 etc.
4230 ** Manual contains new section on setting up a test HTTP server.
4231 A server set up following those descriptions are available online via
4232 <http://www.gnutls.org/server.html>.
4234 ** Update of gnulib files.
4236 ** API and ABI modifications:
4237 No changes since last version.
4239 * Version 1.7.4 (released 2007-02-05)
4241 ** Support for RSA signing using SHA-256/384/512.
4242 A new self test "sha2" tries to build a long X.509 certificate chain
4243 testing all new hashes.
4245 ** The gnutls-serv tool now use static DH parameters if none are supplied.
4247 ** Discuss proxy certificates in the manual.
4249 ** Improve bibliographical citations in the manual.
4251 ** Update of gnulib files.
4253 ** Fix certtool template handling of pathLenConstraints.
4254 It now defaults to -1 instead of 0, which causes the field to be
4255 missing unless the template specify it.
4257 ** API and ABI modifications:
4260 GNUTLS_MAC_SHA512: New gnutls_mac_algorithm_t values.
4263 GNUTLS_DIG_SHA512: New gnutls_digest_algorithm_t values.
4264 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA256,
4265 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA384,
4266 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA512: New gnutls_sign_algorithm_t values.
4268 * Version 1.7.3 (released 2007-02-01)
4270 ** New option to certtool: --generate-proxy.
4271 This will generate a Proxy Certificate from an end entity certificate.
4272 Proxy Certificates are documented in RFC 3820. You will need to
4273 specify the proxy certificate's private key with --load-privkey, the
4274 user certificate with --load-certificate and the private key used to
4275 sign the new proxy certificate with --load-ca-privkey. Certtool will
4276 query for proxy path length and the policy language OID. Currently
4277 only OIDs that have an empty policy are supported (which includes the
4278 two OIDs defined by RFC 3820).
4280 ** Certtool --certificate-info now prints information for Proxy Certificates.
4281 Before the proxy extension was just printed as DER encoded data.
4283 ** New APIs to set proxy subject names and get/set proxy cert extension.
4285 ** Fix parsing of pathLenConstraints in BasicConstraints with missing cA.
4287 ** Added self-test to test for regressions of pathLenConstraint bug.
4288 Incidentally, this also test (some) other regressions or changes in
4289 the output from certtool --certificate-info.
4291 ** When certtool generates CA certificates, pressing enter on the path
4292 ** length constraint query will now remove the field.
4293 Before it set the path length constraint to 0, which is a rather poor
4296 ** Certtool now print times in UTC when printing certificate/CRL info.
4298 ** Add better fix to work around C++ compiler bug on Mac OS X.
4299 Reported and tiny patch provided by Matthias Scheler <tron@NetBSD.org>.
4301 ** Fix import of ASCII armored OpenPGP keys.
4302 Patch by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
4304 ** Update of gnulib files.
4306 ** API and ABI modifications:
4307 gnutls_x509_crt_set_proxy_dn: ADD.
4308 gnutls_x509_crt_set_proxy: ADD.
4309 gnutls_x509_crt_get_proxy: ADD.
4311 * Version 1.7.2 (released 2007-01-14)
4313 ** Certtool now print the value of the pathLenConstraints field for certs.
4315 ** Certtool now query for path length constraints when generating CA certs.
4316 For batch uses, the certtool configuration name is "path_len".
4317 Suggested by Sascha Ziemann <sascha.ziemann@secunet.com>.
4319 ** Add new API to get/set pathLenConstraint in the Basic Constraints.
4320 The new functions gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints and
4321 gnutls_x509_crt_set_basic_constraints provide a superset of the
4322 functionality in the old gnutls_x509_crt_get_ca_status and
4323 gnutls_x509_crt_set_ca_status (respectively), but the old functions
4324 will continue to be supported.
4326 ** Add new API in OpenCDK to extract public/secret OpenPGP key to S-expr.
4327 The functions are cdk_pubkey_to_sexp and cdk_seckey_to_sexp. A proper
4328 OpenCDK release with this patch will be made soon, which should bump
4329 the OpenCDK version number. Patch by Mario Lenz <mario.lenz@gmx.net>.
4331 ** Certtool --to-p12 can now store more than one certificate in the blob.
4332 Before it could only store one certificate, but now it will read and
4333 store as many certificate there are from the --load-certificate file.
4334 Suggested by Sascha Ziemann <sascha.ziemann@secunet.com>.
4336 ** Clean up separation of gnutls and gnutls-extra for OpenPGP.
4337 In particular, the OpenPGP function variables are no longer part of
4338 the exported libgnutls interface, and no header files from
4339 libgnutls-extra (GPL) are needed by libgnutls (LGPL). The variables
4340 were never intended for non-internal purposes, and thus this does not
4341 imply a change in the external API/ABI.
4343 ** Print URL to gaa when missing, and fix srcdir!=builddir for GAA files.
4344 Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
4346 ** GnuTLS no longer uses -mms-bitfields --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc.
4347 Before these parameters were set to make GnuTLS build under mingw32,
4348 however, they appear to no longer be necessary.
4350 ** A minor fix to the C++ library to make it build.
4351 Reported by Pavlov Konstantin <thresh@altlinux.ru>.
4353 ** Update of gnulib files.
4355 ** API and ABI modifications:
4356 gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints: ADD.
4357 gnutls_x509_crt_set_basic_constraints: ADD.
4358 cdk_pubkey_to_sexp: ADD (in opencdk).
4359 cdk_seckey_to_sexp: ADD (in opencdk).
4361 * Version 1.7.1 (released 2006-12-28)
4363 ** TLS 1.2 server side fix.
4364 The Certificate Request sent did not contain the list of supported
4365 hashes field, thus violating the protocol. It will now contain an
4366 empty list. Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
4368 ** TLS 1.2 DSA signature verification fix.
4369 Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
4371 ** Fix the list of trusted CAs that server's send to clients.
4372 Before, the list contained issuer DN's instead of subject DN's of the
4373 trusted CAs. Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
4375 ** Fix gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl to initialize the CRL before using it.
4376 Also added a self-test in tests/certificate_set_x509_crl.c to test the
4377 function. Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
4379 ** Encode UID fields in DN's as DirectoryString.
4380 Before GnuTLS encoded and parsed UID fields as IA5String. This was
4381 incorrect, it should have used DirectoryString. Now it will use
4382 DirectoryString for the UID field, but for backwards compatibility it
4383 will also accept IA5String UID's. Reported by Max Kellermann
4386 ** Improve out-of-sourcedir builds from CVS.
4387 Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
4389 ** Bootstrap tools changed.
4390 We now require autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10, and gettext 0.16, when
4391 building GnuTLS from CVS. Libtool 1.5.22 is used.
4393 ** Fixed a syntax error in lib/gnutls.asn.
4394 Reported by Paul Millar <p.millar@physics.gla.ac.uk>.
4396 ** Added German translation of GnuTLS messages.
4398 ** Update of gnulib files.
4400 ** API and ABI modifications:
4401 No changes since last version.
4403 * Version 1.7.0 (released 2006-11-29)
4405 ** The default protocol priority try TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 too.
4406 The details is that the protocol priority set by
4407 `gnutls_set_default_priority' has been changed from TLS 1.0 and SSL
4408 3.0 to TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0.
4410 ** Preliminary support for TLS 1.2.
4411 The client has been successfully tested against
4412 https://www.mikestoolbox.org:4433/.
4414 ** Anonself test now print a lot of debugging info, including TLS version.
4416 ** Doc fixes in OpenCDK, to avoid some gtk-doc warnings.
4418 ** Update of gnulib files.
4420 ** API and ABI modifications:
4421 GNUTLS_TLS1_2: New gnutls_protocol_t enum member.
4423 *** Pulled up from stable 1.6.x branch:
4425 ** Fix ./configure failure with non-GCC compilers.
4426 This fixes the following error message:
4427 configure: error: conditional "HAVE_LD_OUTPUT_DEF" was never defined.
4428 Reported by "Michael C. Vergallen" <mvergall@telenet.be>.
4430 * Version 1.6.3 (released 2007-05-26)
4432 ** New API functions to extract DER encoded X.509 Subject/Issuer DN.
4433 Suggested by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>. Backported
4434 from the 1.7.x branch, see
4435 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnutls/2007-05/msg00029.html>.
4437 ** Have PKCS8 parser return better error codes.
4438 Reported by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>, see
4439 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001653.html> and
4440 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001654.html>.
4442 ** Fix mem leak for sessions with client authentication via certificates.
4443 Reported by Andrew W. Nosenko <andrew.w.nosenko@gmail.com>, see
4444 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-April/001539.html>.
4446 ** Fix building of 'tlsia' self test.
4447 Earlier some gcc are known to build tlsia linking to
4448 $prefix/lib/libgnutls-extra.so rather than the libgnutls-extra.so in
4449 the build directory, even though command line parameters look OK.
4450 Changing order of some parameters fixes it.
4452 ** API and ABI modifications:
4453 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn: ADD.
4454 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_dn: ADD.
4456 * Version 1.6.2 (released 2007-04-18)
4458 ** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields.
4459 Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly
4460 different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification
4461 failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other
4462 implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs
4463 you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear
4464 to be consistent with other widely used implementations.
4466 ** Regenerate the PKIX ASN.1 syntax tree.
4467 For some reason, after changing the ASN.1 type of ldap-UID in the last
4468 release, the generated C file built from the ASN.1 schema was not
4469 refreshed. This can cause problems when reading/writing UID
4470 components inside X.500 Distinguished Names. Reported by devel
4471 <dev001@pas-world.com>.
4473 ** Updated translations.
4475 ** API and ABI modifications:
4476 No changes since last version.
4478 * Version 1.6.1 (released 2006-12-28)
4480 ** Fix the list of trusted CAs that server's send to clients.
4481 Before, the list contained issuer DN's instead of subject DN's of the
4482 trusted CAs. Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
4484 ** Fix gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl to initialize the CRL before using it.
4485 Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
4487 ** Encode UID fields in DN's as DirectoryString.
4488 Before GnuTLS encoded and parsed UID fields as IA5String. This was
4489 incorrect, it should have used DirectoryString. Now it will use
4490 DirectoryString for the UID field, but for backwards compatibility it
4491 will also accept IA5String UID's. Reported by Max Kellermann
4494 ** Fix ./configure failure with non-GCC compilers.
4495 This fixes the following error message:
4496 configure: error: conditional "HAVE_LD_OUTPUT_DEF" was never defined.
4497 Reported by "Michael C. Vergallen" <mvergall@telenet.be>.
4499 ** API and ABI modifications:
4500 No changes since last version.
4502 * Version 1.6.0 (released 2006-11-17)
4504 ** No changes since 1.5.5.
4505 The major changes compared to the 1.4.x branch are:
4507 *** A GnuTLS C++ library is part of the official distribution.
4508 Currently there are no examples or documentation, but hopefully this
4509 will change. See gnutlsxx.h for the API.
4511 *** Windows is a supported platform.
4512 There are, however, two know bugs. One is related to select() in
4513 command line tools (not, nota bene, in the library), the other is a
4514 problem with libgcrypt that causes delays. Help is needed to resolve
4515 those issues, so we feel we can't delay the release because of this.
4517 *** New APIs for custom push/pull function error reporting.
4518 The new APIs are gnutls_transport_set_errno and
4519 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno. See the release notes for version
4520 1.5.4 for more information.
4522 *** Self tests are run under valgrind, if available. See --disable-valgrind.
4524 * Version 1.5.5 (released 2006-11-16)
4526 ** Correctly bump shared library version after adding new APIs.
4527 This was forgotten in the last release.
4529 ** Fix unsigned vs signed problem in ex-x509-info.c example.
4530 Reported by Tim Kosse <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org>.
4532 ** Fix the rsa-md5-collision self test to work for MinGW+Wine.
4534 ** Update of gnulib files.
4536 ** API and ABI modifications:
4537 No changes since last version.
4539 * Version 1.5.4 (released 2006-11-07)
4541 ** New API functions to set errno in push/pull functions.
4542 Under Windows, setting the errno variable in a push/pull replacement
4543 may end up setting the wrong errno variable, and GnuTLS send/recv
4544 functions become confused about the real errno returned from a failed
4545 push/pull function. Therefor, we have added two APIs to set the errno
4546 variable used by GnuTLS. The APIs can also help to keep things
4547 thread-safe, by avoiding potentially global variables. Typically,
4548 instead of setting errno in your push/pull function, you will call one
4549 of these functions. It is recommended to use
4550 gnutls_transport_set_errno, but if you don't have the session variable
4551 easily accessible in the push/pull replacement function, you can use
4552 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno. Suggested by Tim Kosse
4553 <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org>.
4555 void gnutls_transport_set_errno (gnutls_session_t session, int err);
4556 void gnutls_transport_set_global_errno (int err);
4558 ** When calling `recv' or `send' Windows errors are handled properly.
4559 The Windows recv/send functions doesn't use errno, and GnuTLS now use
4560 WSAGetLastError to access the error condition instead.
4562 ** Several OpenPGP API fixes.
4563 All suggested by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès). The most
4564 important fix is to change the return value of
4565 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_pk_algorithm and
4566 gnutls_openpgp_key_get_pk_algorithm from 'int' to
4567 'gnutls_pk_algorithm_t', which is an enum type (and thus API/ABI
4568 compatible with 'int').
4570 ** When a GnuTLS server receive a SSLv2 Client Hello for an unknown TLS
4571 ** version, try to negotiate the highest version support by the GnuTLS server,
4572 ** instead of the lowest.
4573 Reported by <Pasi.Eronen@nokia.com>.
4575 ** Replace old constructs with use of gnulib modules.
4576 For example, we can now assume unistd.h, sys/stat.h, sys/socket.h in
4577 the code. If the headers doesn't exist on the target system, gnulib
4578 will make sure its replacement header files are used instead.
4580 ** Fix SOVERSION computation for *.def files.
4581 This fixes build errors similar to "No rule to make target
4582 `libgnutls-`expr', needed by `all-am'." when building for Windows.
4584 ** gnutls_check-version uses strverscmp from gnulib.
4586 ** Update of gnulib files.
4588 ** API and ABI modifications:
4589 gnutls_transport_set_errno: ADD
4590 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno: ADD
4592 * Version 1.5.3 (released 2006-10-26)
4594 ** Add new self-test of RSA-MD5 signature chains.
4595 Note that we already, since GnuTLS 1.2.9, reject RSA-MD5 signatures
4596 when verifying X.509 chains. The code is in tests/rsa-md5-collision/
4597 and is based on the work by Marc Stevens et al, see
4598 <http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/TargetCollidingCertificates/>.
4600 ** Re-factor self tests.
4602 ** The include copy of Libtasn1 is updated to version 0.3.7.
4604 ** The included copy of OpenCDK is updated to version 0.5.11.
4606 ** Fix the filename of the *.def file on Windows after library version bump.
4608 ** Separated the gnulib directory into one for LGPL modules and one for GPL.
4609 This allows the GPL'd part of GnuTLS to take advantage of the GPL'd
4610 gnulib modules. Earlier we could only use the LGPL'ed module from
4611 gnulib, because two gnulib directories in the same project didn't
4614 ** API and ABI modifications:
4615 No changes since last version.
4617 * Version 1.5.2 (released 2006-10-03)
4619 ** Decrement the shared library version back to 13 (as in the 1.4.x branch).
4620 Note that if you installed 1.5.0 or 1.5.1, they will have a higher
4621 shared library version than this version, so you'll have to remove
4622 them and possibly relink your applications. The reason for this is
4623 that no API/ABI changes have been made since the 1.4.x branch, and
4624 that incrementing the shared library version was a mistake. Reported
4625 by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
4627 ** Fix off-by-one error when computing length to malloc.
4628 The code is used by gnutls_openpgp_add_keyring_file and
4629 gnutls_openpgp_add_keyring_mem. Reported by "Adam Langley"
4630 <agl@imperialviolet.org>.
4632 ** Add version script for the GnuTLS C++ library.
4633 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
4635 ** Fix the C++ compiler detection logic.
4636 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
4638 ** Update of gnulib files.
4640 ** API and ABI modifications:
4641 No changes since last version.
4643 * Version 1.5.1 (released 2006-09-21)
4645 ** Fix PKCS#1 verification to avoid a variant of Bleichenbacher's
4646 ** Crypto 06 rump session attack.
4647 In particular, we check that the digestAlgorithm.parameters field is
4648 missing or empty, to avoid that it can contain "garbage" that may be
4649 used to alter the numeric properties of the signature. See
4650 <http://www.imc.org/ietf-openpgp/mail-archive/msg14307.html> (which is
4651 not exactly the same as the problem we fix here). Reported by Yutaka
4652 OIWA <y.oiwa@aist.go.jp>.
4654 See GNUTLS-SA-2006-4 on http://www.gnutls.org/security.html for more
4655 up to date information.
4657 ** Add self test to test for above flaw.
4659 ** Fix gnutls-cli-debug regarding resume support detection.
4660 Earlier, if the session-id from the server had a length of 0, it would
4661 indicate that the server supports resumption, which isn't the case.
4662 Reported by Kataja Kai <kai.kataja@op.fi>.
4664 ** Fix building of examples on FreeBSD by including netinet/in.h.
4665 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org>.
4667 ** Fix certtool bug that caused the private key to not be loaded when
4668 generating a certificate with --load-request, which in turn triggered
4669 another unrelated bug in gnutls_x509_crt_sign2 (also fixed). Reported
4670 by Sascha Ziemann <sascha.ziemann@secunet.com>.
4672 ** gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv works on Windows.
4673 The problem was the select() call that doesn't work on file
4674 descriptors (stdin) on Windows. We borrowed some code from plibc to
4675 solve this. It appears to be somewhat unreliable though.
4677 ** Autoconf 2.60 is now used.
4679 ** API and ABI modifications:
4680 No changes since last version.
4682 * Version 1.5.0 (released 2006-08-13)
4684 ** Change SRP and Cert-Type extensions to match IANA registry.
4686 ** Fixed bug in OpenPGP authentication handshake.
4688 ** Improvements for building under MinGW.
4689 Provides internal inet_ntop and inet_pton functions and arpa/inet.h
4690 header. Calls WSAStartup and WSACleanup in gnutls_global_init and
4691 gnutls_global_deinit, respectively. Loads getaddrinfo and getnameinfo
4692 at run-time from ws2_32.dll, and falls back on a simple replacement if
4693 it is not available. Builds the library with -mms-bitfields
4694 -Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc. Links with --output-def, to
4695 create *.def files, which are installed.
4697 ** The examples now (conditionally) include config.h and link to gnulib.
4698 No other source changes were necessary, so the examples should
4699 continue to be possible to use stand-alone without any autoconf or
4702 ** Added C++ header "gnutlsxx.h" and library "libgnutlsxx".
4703 You may unconditionally disable it with --disable-cxx. See
4704 includes/gnutls/gnutlsxx.h and lib/gnutlsxx.cpp for the
4707 ** Made command line tool '--version' behave according to GNU Standards.
4708 This enables 'make distcheck' to succeed.
4710 ** OpenCDK updated to 0.5.9 to fix some problems with OpenPGP support.
4712 ** Make --without-included-libtasn1 work.
4713 Reported by Daniel Black <dragonheart@gentoo.org>.
4715 ** Fix a crash (strcmp() on a NULL value) in the certificate verification logic.

4738 ** Relax the test that caught signatures that exploit the variant of
4739 ** Bleichenbacher's Crypto 06 rump session attack on our
4740 ** verification logic flaw.
4741 In particular, we now permit the digestAlgorithm.parameters field to
4742 be present but empty, whereas in 1.4.3 we actually checked that the
4745 ** Revert the removal of debug information for the GNUTLS-SA-2006-3 problem.
4746 The messages are only printed in debug mode, which is not recommended
4747 for normal use, and thus logging this situation cannot be abused as an
4748 oracle in typical recommended situations.
4750 ** API and ABI modifications:

4779 * Version 1.4.2 (released 2006-08-12)
4781 ** Fix a crash (strcmp() on a NULL value) in the certificate verification logic.
4782 This can happen if you call gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 and have
4783 a certain mix of local CA certificates and the peer send special
4784 certificates, that together trigger certain behaviour. It is not
4785 known at this point whether the crash can be triggered without the
4786 special local CA certificate, and thus turn this into a remote crash
4787 of clients that verify server certificates when they talk to a server
4788 with the special server certificate. See GNUTLS-SA-2006-2 on
4789 http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html for more up to date
4790 information. Reported by satyakumar <satyam_kkd@hyd.hellosoft.com>.

4799 ** API and ABI modifications:
4800 No changes since last version.
4802 * Version 1.4.1 (released 2006-06-14)
4804 ** Replaced inactive ifdefs to enable openpgp support in test programs.
4806 ** Fixed bug in OpenPGP authentication handshake.
4808 ** Fixed typographical in man pages.
4810 ** Build fixes of the manual.
4812 ** Added Swedish translation.
4814 ** API and ABI modifications:
4815 No changes since last version.
4817 * Version 1.4.0 (released 2006-05-15)
4819 ** Remove GnuTLS 0.8.x compatibility functions.
4821 ** The libgcrypt RNG is initialized in gnutls_global_init().
4823 ** TLS/IA API changes from Emile van Bergen.
4824 A dummy credential structure is not needed now, if you wish to use the
4825 low-level TLS/IA API, simply call gnutls_ia_enable to enable TLS/IA on
4828 ** The self-tests are now run under valgrind, if it is installed.
4830 ** Libtasn1 is updated to 0.3.4, and that version is now required.
4832 ** The command line tools now use getaddrinfo and support IPv6.
4834 ** API and ABI modifications:
4835 _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_activation_time,
4836 _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_expiration_time: Removed.
4837 gnutls_ia_require_inner_phase: Removed, replaced by gnutls_ia_enable.
4838 gnutls_ia_enable: Added.
4840 * Version 1.3.5 (released 2006-03-08)
4842 ** Error messages are now translated using GNU Gettext.
4844 ** The function gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml now return an internal error.
4845 This means that the code to convert X.509 certificates to XML format
4846 does not work any more. The reason is that the function called
4847 libtasn1 internal functions. It seems unclean for libtasn1 to export
4848 the APIs needed here. Instead it would be better to implement XML
4849 support inside libtasn1 properly. If you need this functionality
4850 strongly, please consider looking into implementing this suggested
4851 approach instead. As a workaround, you may also modify lib/x509/xml.c
4852 (change '#if 1' to '#if 0') and build using --with-included-libtasn1.
4854 ** Libraries are now built with libtool's -no-undefined.
4855 This helps producing libraries for Windows using mingw32.
4857 ** Doc fixes to explain that gnutls_record_send can block.
4859 ** Libtasn1 0.3.1 or later is now required.
4860 The include copy has been updated too.
4862 ** gnutls-cli can now recognize services and port numbers with the -p option.
4864 ** API and ABI modifications:
4865 No changes since last version.
4867 * Version 1.3.4 (released 2006-02-09)
4869 ** Fix read of out bounds bug in DER parser.
4870 Reported by Evgeny Legerov <admin@gleg.net>, and debugging help from
4871 Protover SSL. Libtasn1 0.2.18 is now required, which contains the
4872 previous bug fix. The included libtasn1 version in GnuTLS has been
4875 ** Fixed bug in non-blocking gnutls_bye(). gnutls_record_send() will no
4876 longer invalidate a session if the underlying send fails, but it will
4877 prevent future writes. That is to allow reading the already received data.
4878 Patches and bug reports by Yoann Vandoorselaere <yoann@prelude-ids.org>
4880 ** Corrected bugs in gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl() and
4881 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust(), that caused memory corruption if
4882 more than one certificates were added. Report and patch by Max Kellermann.
4884 ** Fix build problems of OpenCDK on AIX.
4885 Thanks to "Heiden, John" <JHeiden@UTNet.UToledo.Edu>.
4887 ** API and ABI modifications:
4888 No changes since last version.
4890 * Version 1.3.3 (released 2006-01-12)
4892 ** New API to access the TLS master secret.
4893 When possible, you should use the TLS PRF functions instead.
4894 Suggested by Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>.
4896 ** Improved handling when multiple libraries use GnuTLS at the same time.
4897 Now gnutls_global_init() can be called multiple times, and
4898 gnutls_global_deinit() will only deallocate the structure when it has
4899 been called as many times as gnutls_global_init() was called.
4901 ** Added a self test of TLS resume functionality.
4903 ** Fix crash in TLS resume code, caused by TLS/IA changes.
4905 ** Documentation fixes about thread unsafety, prompted by
4906 ** discussion with bryanh@giraffe-data.com (Bryan Henderson).
4907 In particular, gnutls_global_init() and gnutls_global_deinit() are not
4908 thread safe. Careful callers may want to protect the call using a
4909 mutex. The problem could also be ignored, which would cause a memory
4910 leak under rare conditions when two threads invoke the function
4911 roughly at the same time.
4913 ** Add 'const' keywords in various places, from Frediano ZIGLIO.
4915 ** The code was indented again, including the external header files.
4917 ** API and ABI modifications:
4918 New functions to retrieve the master secret value:
4919 gnutls_session_get_master_secret
4921 Add a 'const' keyword to existing API:
4922 gnutls_x509_crq_get_challenge_password
4924 * Version 1.3.2 (released 2005-12-15)
4926 ** GnuTLS now support TLS Inner application (TLS/IA).
4927 This is per draft-funk-tls-inner-application-extension-01. This
4928 functionality is added to libgnutls-extra, so it is licensed under the
4929 GNU General Public License.
4931 ** New APIs to access the TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF).
4932 The PRF is used by some protocols building on TLS, such as EAP-PEAP
4933 and EAP-TTLS. One function to access the raw PRF and one to access
4934 the PRF seeded with the client/server random fields are provided.
4935 Suggested by Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>.
4937 ** New APIs to acceess the client and server random fields in a session.
4938 These fields can be useful by protocols using TLS. Note that these
4939 fields are typically used as input to the TLS PRF, and if this is your
4940 intended use, you should use the TLS PRF API that use the
4941 client/server random field directly. Suggested by Jouni Malinen
4942 <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>.
4944 ** Internal type cleanups.
4945 The uint8, uint16, uint32 types have been replaced by uint8_t,
4946 uint16_t, uint32_t. Gnulib is used to guarantee the presence of
4947 correct types on platforms that lack them. The uint type have been
4948 replaced by unsigned.
4950 ** API and ABI modifications:
4951 New functions to invoke the TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF):
4955 New functions to retrieve the session's client and server random values:
4956 gnutls_session_get_server_random
4957 gnutls_session_get_client_random
4959 New function, to perform TLS/IA handshake:
4962 New function to decide whether to do a TLS/IA handshake:
4963 gnutls_ia_handshake_p
4965 New functions to allocate a TLS/IA credential:
4966 gnutls_ia_allocate_client_credentials
4967 gnutls_ia_free_client_credentials
4968 gnutls_ia_allocate_server_credentials
4969 gnutls_ia_free_server_credentials

4976 gnutls_ia_set_server_avp_ptr
4977 gnutls_ia_get_server_avp_ptr
4979 New functions, to toggle TLS/IA application phases:
4980 gnutls_ia_require_inner_phase
4982 New function to mix session keys with inner secret:
4983 gnutls_ia_permute_inner_secret
4985 Low-level API (used internally by gnutls_ia_handshake):
4986 gnutls_ia_endphase_send
4990 New functions that can be used after successful TLS/IA negotiation:
4991 gnutls_ia_generate_challenge
4992 gnutls_ia_extract_inner_secret
4994 Enum type with TLS/IA modes:
4997 Enum type with TLS/IA packet types:
5000 Enum values for TLS/IA alerts:
5001 GNUTLS_A_INNER_APPLICATION_FAILURE
5002 GNUTLS_A_INNER_APPLICATION_VERIFICATION
5004 New error codes, to signal when an application phase has finished:
5005 GNUTLS_E_WARNING_IA_IPHF_RECEIVED
5006 GNUTLS_E_WARNING_IA_FPHF_RECEIVED
5008 New error code to signal TLS/IA verify failure:
5009 GNUTLS_E_IA_VERIFY_FAILED
5011 * Version 1.3.1 (released 2005-12-08)
5013 ** Support for DHE-PSK cipher suites has been added.
5014 This method offers perfect forward secrecy.
5016 ** Fix gnutls-cli STARTTLS hang when SIGINT is sent too quickly, thanks to
5017 Otto Maddox <ottomaddox@fastmail.fm> and Nozomu Ando <nand@mac.com>.
5019 ** Corrected a bug in certtool for 64 bit machines. Reported
5020 by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
5022 ** New function to set a X.509 private key and certificate pairs, and/or
5023 CRLs, from an PKCS#12 file, suggested by Emile van Bergen
5024 <emile@e-advies.nl>.
5026 The integrity of the PKCS#12 file is protected through a password
5027 based MAC; public-key based signatures for integrity protection are
5028 not supported. PKCS#12 bags may be encrypted using password derived
5029 symmetric keys, public-key based encryption is not supported. The
5030 PKCS#8 keys may be encrypted using passwords. The API use the same
5031 password for all operations. We believe that any more flexibility
5032 create too much complexity that would hurt overall security, but may
5033 add more PKCS#12 related APIs if real-world experience indicate
5036 ** gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 now accept unencrypted PEM PKCS#8 keys,
5037 reported by Emile van Bergen <emile@e-advies.nl>.
5038 This will enable "certtool -k -8" to parse those keys.
5040 ** Certtool now generate keys in unencrypted PKCS#8 format for empty passwords.
5041 Use "certtool -p -8" and press press enter at the prompt. Earlier,
5042 certtool would have encrypted the key using an empty password.
5044 ** Certtool now accept --password for --key-info and encrypted PKCS#8 keys.
5045 Earlier it would have prompted the user for it, even if --password was
5048 ** Added self test of PKCS#8 parsing.
5049 Unencrypted and encrypted (pbeWithSHAAnd3-KeyTripleDES-CBC and
5050 pbeWithSHAAnd40BitRC2-CBC) formats are tested. The test is in
5053 ** API and ABI modifications:
5054 New function to set X.509 credentials from a PKCS#12 file:
5055 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file
5057 New gnutls_kx_algorithm_t enum type:
5060 New API to return session data (basically same as gnutls_session_get_data):
5061 gnutls_session_get_data2
5063 New API to set PSK Diffie-Hellman parameters:
5064 gnutls_psk_set_server_dh_params
5066 * Version 1.3.0 (2005-11-15)
5068 ** Support for TLS Pre-Shared Key (TLS-PSK) ciphersuites have been added.
5069 This add several new APIs, see below. Read the updated manual for
5070 more information. A new self test "pskself" has been added, that will
5071 test this functionality.
5073 ** The session resumption data are now system independent.
5075 ** The code has been re-indented to conform to the GNU coding style.
5077 ** Removed the RIPEMD ciphersuites.
5079 ** Added a discussion of the internals of gnutls in manual.
5081 ** Fixes for Tru64 UNIX 4.0D that lack MAP_FAILED, from Albert Chin.
5083 ** Remove trailing comma in enums, for IBM C v6, from Albert Chin.
5085 ** Make sure config.h is included first in a few files, from Albert Chin.
5087 ** Don't use C++ comments ("//") as they are invalid, from Albert Chin.
5089 ** Don't install SRP programs and man pages if --disable-srp-authentication,

5132 * Version 1.2.11 (2006-05-11)
5133 - The function gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml is not supported any more, and
5134 return an internal error. The reason is that the function called
5135 internal libtasn1 functions which are no longer exported from
5137 - Updated libtasn1 requirement to 0.3.4 and refreshed internal mintiasn1.
5138 - Updated gnulib compatibility files.
5139 - Fixed _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_expiration_time and
5140 _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_activation_time to return (time_t)-1 on errors.
5141 - API and ABI modifications:
5142 No changes since last version.
5144 * Version 1.2.10 (2006-02-09)
5145 - Fix read out bounds bug in DER parser. Reported by Evgeny Legerov
5146 <admin@gleg.net>, and debugging help from Protover SSL.
5147 - Libtasn1 0.2.18 is now required (contains the previous bug fix).
5148 The included version has been updated too.
5149 - Fix gnutls-cli STARTTLS hang when SIGINT is sent too quickly, thanks to
5150 Otto Maddox <ottomaddox@fastmail.fm> and Nozomu Ando <nand@mac.com>.
5151 - Corrected a bug in certtool for 64 bit machines. Reported
5152 by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
5153 - Corrected bugs in gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl() and
5154 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust(), that caused memory corruption if
5155 more than one certificates were added. Report and patch by Max Kellermann.
5156 - Fixed bug in non-blocking gnutls_bye(). gnutls_record_send() will no
5157 longer invalidate a session if the underlying send fails, but it will
5158 prevent future writes. That is to allow reading the already received data.
5159 Patches and bug reports by Yoann Vandoorselaere <yoann@prelude-ids.org>
5161 * Version 1.2.9 (2005-11-07)
5162 - Documentation was updated and improved.
5163 - RSA-MD2 is now supported for verifying digital signatures.
5164 - Due to cryptographic advances, verifying untrusted X.509
5165 certificates signed with RSA-MD2 or RSA-MD5 will now fail with a
5166 GNUTLS_CERT_INSECURE_ALGORITHM verification output. For
5167 applications that must remain interoperable, you can use the
5168 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD2 or GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
5169 flags when verifying certificates. Naturally, this is not
5170 recommended default behaviour for applications. To enable the
5171 broken algorithms, call gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags with the
5172 proper flag, to change the verification mode used by
5173 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
5174 - Make it possible to send empty data through gnutls_record_send,
5175 to align with the send(2) API.
5176 - Some changes in the certificate receiving part of handshake to prevent
5177 some possible errors with non-blocking servers.
5178 - Added numeric version symbols to permit simple CPP-based feature
5179 tests, suggested by Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>.
5180 - The (experimental) low-level crypto alternative to libgcrypt used
5181 earlier (Nettle) has been replaced with crypto code from gnulib.
5182 This leads to easier re-use of these components in other projects,
5183 leading to more review and simpler maintenance. The new configure
5184 parameter --with-builtin-crypto replace the old --with-nettle, and
5185 must be used if you wish to enable this functionality. See README
5186 under "Experimental" for more information. Internally, GnuTLS has
5187 been updated to use the new "Generic Crypto" API in gl/gc.h. The
5188 API is similar to the old crypto/gc.h, because the gnulib code were
5189 based on GnuTLS's gc.h.
5190 - Fix compiler warning in the "anonself" self test.
5191 - API and ABI modifications:
5192 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: Added 'const' to prototype in <gnutls/x509.h>.
5193 This doesn't reflect a change in behaviour,
5194 so we don't break backwards compatibility.
5195 GNUTLS_MAC_MD2: New gnutls_mac_algorithm_t value.
5196 GNUTLS_DIG_MD2: New gnutls_digest_algorithm_t value.
5197 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD2,
5198 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5: New gnutls_certificate_verify_flags values.
5200 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify,
5201 gnutls_x509_crt_verify, or
5202 gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags.
5203 GNUTLS_CERT_INSECURE_ALGORITHM: New gnutls_certificate_status_t value,
5204 used when broken signature algorithms
5205 is used (currently RSA-MD2/MD5).
5206 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
5207 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR,
5208 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH,
5209 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER: New CPP symbols, indicating the GnuTLS
5210 version number, can be used for feature existence
5213 * Version 1.2.8 (2005-10-07)
5214 - Libgcrypt 1.2.2 is required to fix a bug for forking GnuTLS servers.
5215 - Don't install the auxilliary libexamples library used by the
5216 examples in doc/examples/ on "make install", report and tiny patch
5217 from Thomas Klausner <tk@giga.or.at>.
5218 - If you pass a X.509 CA or PGP trust database to the command line
5219 tool, it will now abort the connection if the server certificate
5220 validation fails. Use the parameter --insecure to continue even
5221 after certificate validation failures. Inspired from discussion
5222 with Alexander Kotelnikov <sacha@myxomop.com>.
5223 - The test for socklen_t has been moved to gnulib.

5285 - Introduced the --fix-key option to certtool, which can be used to
5286 regenerate the (optional) parameters in a private key. It should
5287 be used together with --key-info.

5310 and made source code include external include file, to check
5311 function prototypes during compile time.
5312 - API and ABI modifications:
5313 No changes since last version. At least not intentional, but due
5314 to the include header changes, there may be inadvertant changes,
5315 please let us know if you find any.

5322 - Added warning to certtool when MD5 is being used for digital
5324 - Optimizations ("-O2 -finline-functions") are not enabled by default,
5325 instead the standard autoconf defaults are used. Use `./configure
5326 CFLAGS="-O2 -finline-functions"' to get the old optimizations.
5327 - Added the option --get-dh-params to certtool, in order to get the
5328 parameters included in the library primes and generators.

5364 gnutls_x509_rdn_get now set *sizeof_buf to the buffer length that is
5365 required, instead of the string length. That is, the value has been
5366 incremented by 1 to account for the terminating zero. Reported by
5367 Martin Lambers <marlam@web.de>.
5368 - Debug output shouldn't crash on platforms that doesn't handle NULL
