197 ** libgnutls: Fixed bug in gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_system_trust()
198 and gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_mem() that prevented the loading
199 of certificates in the windows platform.
201 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug in OpenPGP subpacket encoding.
203 ** libgnutls: Added support for DTLS/TLS heartbeats by Olga Smolenchuk.
204 (the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
206 ** libgnutls: Added X.509 certificate verification flag
207 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNSORTED_CHAIN. This flag allows the verification
208 of unsorted certificate chains and is enabled by default for
209 TLS certificate verification (if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags()
210 does not override it).
212 ** libgnutls: Prints warning on certificates that contain keys of
213 an insecure level. If the %COMPAT priority flag is not specified
214 the TLS connection fails.
216 ** libgnutls: Correctly restore gnutls_record_recv() in DTLS mode
217 if interrupted during the retrasmition of handshake data.
219 ** libgnutls: Better mingw32 support (patch by LRN).
221 ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT keyword, if specified, will tolerate
222 key usage violation errors (they are far too common to ignore).
224 ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_STATELESS_COMPRESSION flag to gnutls_init(),
225 which provides a tool to counter compression-related attacks where
226 parts of the data are controlled by the attacker _and_ are placed in
227 separate records (use with care - do not use compression if not sure).
229 ** libgnutls: Depends on libtasn1 2.14 or later.
231 ** certtool: Prints the number of bits of the public key algorithm
232 parameter in a private key.
234 ** API and ABI modifications:

242 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_WEAK: Added
243 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_INSECURE: Added
245 * Version 3.1.1 (released 2012-09-02)
247 ** gnutls-serv: Listens on IPv6. Patch by Bernhard R. Link.
249 ** certtool: Changes in password handling of certtool.
250 Ask password when required and only if the '--password' option is not
251 given. If the '--password' option is given during key generation then
252 assume the PKCS #8 file format, instead of ignoring the password.
254 ** tpmtool: No longer asks for key password in registered keys.
256 ** libgnutls: Elliptic curve code was optimized by Ilya Tumaykin.
257 wmNAF is now used for point multiplication and other optimizations.
258 (the major part of the work was done during Google Summer of Code).
260 ** libgnutls: The default pull_timeout_function only uses select
261 instead of a combination of select() and recv() to prevent issues
262 when used in stream sockets in some systems.
264 ** libgnutls: Be tolerant in ECDSA signature violations (e.g. using
265 SHA256 with a SECP384 curve instead of SHA-384), to interoperate with
268 ** libgnutls: Fixed DSA and ECDSA signature generation in smart
269 cards. Thanks to Andreas Schwier from cardcontact.de for providing
270 me with ECDSA capable smart cards.
272 ** API and ABI modifications:
273 gnutls_sign_algorithm_get: Added
274 gnutls_sign_get_hash_algorithm: Added
275 gnutls_sign_get_pk_algorithm: Added
278 * Version 3.1.0 (released 2012-08-15)
280 ** libgnutls: Added direct support for TPM as a cryptographic module
281 in gnutls/tpm.h. TPM keys can be used in functions accepting files
282 using URLs of the following types:
283 tpmkey:file=/path/to/file
284 tpmkey:uuid=7f468c16-cb7f-11e1-824d-b3a4f4b20343;storage=user
286 ** libgnutls: Priority string level keywords can be combined.
287 For example the string "SECURE256:+SUITEB128" is now allowed.
289 ** libgnutls: requires libnettle 2.5.
291 ** libgnutls: Use the PKCS #1 1.5 encoding provided by nettle (2.5)
292 for encryption and signatures.
294 ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE to differentiate between
295 generic errors and signature verification errors in the verification
298 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() as a helper function
299 to simplify parsing in most PKCS #12 use cases.
301 ** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() adds
302 the whole certificate chain (if any) to the credentials structure, instead
303 of only the end-user certificate.
305 ** libgnutls: Key import functions such as gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse()
306 and gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(), return consistently
307 GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED if the input structure is encrypted but no
308 password was provided.
310 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_handshake_set_timeout() a function that
311 allows to set the maximum time spent in a handshake.
313 ** libgnutlsxx: Added session::set_transport_vec_push_function. Patch
316 ** tpmtool: Added. It is a tool to generate private keys in the
319 ** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-tls was split to --benchmark-tls-kx
320 and --benchmark-tls-ciphers
322 ** certtool: generated PKCS #12 structures may hold more than one
323 private key. Patch by Lucas Fisher.
325 ** certtool: Added option --null-password to generate/decrypt keys
326 that use a NULL password (in schemas that distinguish between NULL

603 Report and patches by Sean Buckheister.
605 ** libgnutls: Added new functions to easily allow the usage of
606 a trust on first use (SSH-style) authentication.
608 ** libgnutls: SUITEB128 and SUITEB192 priority strings account
609 for the RFC6460 requirements.
611 ** libgnutls: Added new security parameter GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LEGACY
612 to account for security level of 96-bits.
614 ** libgnutls: In client side if server does not advertise any
615 known CAs and only a single certificate is set in the credentials,
618 ** libgnutls: Added functions to parse authority key identifiers
619 when stored as a 'general name' and serial combo.
621 ** libgnutls: Added function to force explicit reinitialization
622 of PKCS #11 modules. This is required on the child process after

650 ** libgnutls: Added OCSP support.
651 There is a new header file gnutls/ocsp.h and a set of new functions
652 under the gnutls_ocsp namespace. Currently the functionality provided
653 is to parse and extract information from OCSP requests/responses, to
654 generate OCSP requests and to verify OCSP responses. See the manual
655 for more information. Run ./configure with --disable-ocsp to build
656 GnuTLS without OCSP support.
658 This work was sponsored by Smoothwall <http://smoothwall.net/>.
660 ** ocsptool: Added new command line tool.
661 The tool can parse OCSP request/responses, generate OCSP requests and

738 ** gnutls-cli: Fixed reading from windows terminals.
740 ** libgnutls: When GNUTLS_OPENPGP_FMT_BASE64 is specified
741 the stream is assumed to be base64 encoded (previously
742 the encoding was auto-detected). This avoids a decoding
743 issue in windows systems.
745 ** libgnutls: Corrected ciphersuite GNUTLS_ECDHE_PSK_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
747 ** libgnutls: Added ciphersuites: GNUTLS_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

784 ** libgnutls: Optimizations in the elliptic curve code --timing
785 attacks resistant code is only used in ECDSA private key operations.
787 ** doc: man pages for API functions generation was fixed and are
788 now added again in the distribution.

1191 * Version 2.99.1 (released 2011-04-23)
1193 ** libgnutls: LZO support was removed.
1195 ** libgnutls: Corrections in SSLv2 client hello parsing.
1197 ** libgnutls: Added support for AES-NI if detected. Uses
1198 Andy Polyakov's AES-NI code.
1200 ** libgnutls: Restored HMAC-MD5 for compatibility. Although considered
1201 weak, several sites require it for connection. It is enabled for
1202 "NORMAL" and "PERFORMANCE" priority strings.
1204 ** libgnutls: depend on libdl.
1206 ** libgnutls-extra: Dropped support of LZO compression via liblzo.
1208 ** libgnutls: gnutls_transport_set_global_errno() was removed. This
1209 function required GnuTLS to access system specific data, for no reason.
1210 Use gnutls_transport_set_errno(), or your system's errno fascility
1213 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2()
1214 to set a callback to retrieve a certificate. The certificate is
1215 received in a format that requires no processing from gnutls thus
1216 it is suitable when performance is required.
1218 ** API and ABI modifications:
1219 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno: REMOVED
1220 gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2: ADDED
1222 * Version 2.99.0 (released 2011-04-09)
1224 ** libgnutls: Added Datagram TLS support.
1226 ** libgnutls: Uses a single configure file and a single
1227 gnulib library to save space.
1229 ** libgnutls: Several bug fixes.
1231 ** libgnutls: gnutls_transport_set_lowat() is no more.
1233 ** libgnutls-openssl: modified to use modern gnutls' functions.
1234 This introduces an ABI incompatibility with previous versions.
1236 ** libgnutls: Corrected signature generation and verification
1237 in the Certificate Verify message when in TLS 1.2. Reported
1240 ** libgnutlsxx: The C++ interface returns exception on
1241 every error and not only on fatal ones. This allows easier
1244 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue in DHE-PSK ciphersuites that ignored
1247 ** libgnutls: SRP and PSK are no longer set on the default priorities.
1248 They have to be explicitly set.
1250 ** libgnutls: During handshake message verification using DSS
1251 use the hash algorithm required by it.
1253 ** libgnutls: gnutls_recv() return GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION
1254 on unexpected EOF, instead of GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_PACKET_LENGTH.
1256 ** libgnutls: Added GCM mode (interoperates with tls.secg.org)
1258 ** libgnutls-extra: Inner application extension was removed.
1259 It was never standardized nor published as an RFC.
1261 ** libgnutls: Added new certificate verification functions, that
1262 can provide more details and are more efficient. Check
1263 gnutls_x509_trust_list_*.
1265 ** certtool: Uses the new certificate verification functions for
1268 ** certtool: Added new certificate verification functionality
1269 using the --verify option. Combined with --load-ca-certificate
1270 it can verify a certificate chain against a list of certificates.
1272 ** Several files unnecessarily included <gcrypt.h>; this has been fixed.
1274 ** API and ABI modifications:

1343 ** libgnutls: Corrected windows system_errno() function prototype.
1345 ** libgnutls: C++ compatibility fix for compat.h. Reported by Mark Brand.
1347 ** libgnutls: Fix size of gnutls_openpgp_keyid_t by using the
1348 GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEYID_SIZE definition. Reported by Andreas Metzler.
1350 ** API and ABI modifications:
1351 No changes since last version.
1356 * Version 2.12.0 (released 2011-03-24)
1358 ** certtool: Warns on generation of DSA keys of over 1024 bits, about
1359 the incompatibility with TLS other than 1.2.
1361 ** libgnutls: Modified signature algorithm selection in client
1362 certificate request, to avoid failures in DSA certificates.
1364 ** libgnutls: Instead of failing with internal error, return
1365 GNUTLS_E_INCOMPAT_DSA_KEY_WITH_TLS_PROTOCOL if an incompatible DSA
1366 key with the negotiated protocol is encountered.
1368 ** libgnutls: Bug fixes in the RSA ciphersuite behavior with openpgp keys.
1370 ** libgnutls: Force state update when fork is detected in the nettle
1373 ** libgnutls: modified gnutls_pubkey_import_openpgp() to use the preferred
1374 subkey instead of setting explicitly one.
1376 ** libgnutls: Corrected default behavior in record version of Client Hellos.
1378 ** libgnutls-openssl: modified to use modern gnutls' functions.
1379 This introduces an ABI incompatibility with previous versions.
1381 ** API and ABI modifications:
1382 gnutls_pubkey_import_openpgp: MODIFIED
1387 ** libgnutls: The deprecated gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash() was
1388 replaced by gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2().
1390 ** libgnutls: gnutls_pubkey_verify_data, gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash,
1391 gnutls_x509_privkey_verify_data, gnutls_x509_crt_verify_data,
1392 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash return the negative error code
1393 GNUTLS_E_PK_SIG_VERIFY_FAILED if verification fails to simplify error
1396 ** libgnutls: Added helper functions for signature verification:
1397 gnutls_pubkey_verify_data() and gnutls_pubkey_import_privkey().
1399 ** libgnutls: Modified gnutls_privkey_sign_data().
1401 ** gnutls_x509_crl_privkey_sign2(), gnutls_x509_crq_sign2()
1402 gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash(), gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(),
1403 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash(), gnutls_x509_crt_verify_data(), were
1404 deprecated for gnutls_x509_crl_privkey_sign(),
1405 gnutls_x509_crq_privkey_sign(), gnutls_privkey_sign_hash(),
1406 gnutls_privkey_sign_data(), gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash()
1407 gnutls_pubkey_verify_data() respectively.
1409 ** libgnutls: gnutls_*_export_raw() functions now add leading zero in
1412 ** libgnutls: Added convenience functions gnutls_x509_crl_list_import2()
1413 and gnutls_x509_crt_list_import2().
1415 ** crypto.h: Fix use with C++.
1416 Reported by "Brendan Doherty" <brendand@gentrack.com>.
1418 ** API and ABI modifications:
1419 gnutls_x509_crl_list_import: ADDED
1420 gnutls_x509_crl_list_import2: ADDED

1443 gnutls_privkey_sign_hash: REMOVED (was added in 2.11.0)
1445 * Version 2.11.6 (released 2010-12-06)
1447 ** libgnutls: Record version of Client Hellos is now set by default to
1448 SSL 3.0. To restore the previous default behavior use %LATEST_RECORD_VERSION
1451 ** libgnutls: Use ASN1_NULL when writing parameters for RSA signatures.
1452 This makes us comply with RFC3279. Reported by Michael Rommel.
1454 ** gnutls-serv: Corrected a buffer overflow. Reported and patch by Tomas Mraz.
1456 ** API and ABI modifications:
1457 No changes since last version.
1459 * Version 2.11.5 (released 2010-12-01)
1461 ** libgnutls: Reverted default behavior for verification and
1462 introduced GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT. Thus by default
1463 V1 trusted CAs are allowed, unless the new flag is specified.
1465 ** libgnutls: Correctly add leading zero to PKCS #8 encoded DSA key.
1466 Reported by Jeffrey Walton.
1468 ** libgnutls: Added SIGN-ALL, CTYPE-ALL, COMP-ALL, and VERS-TLS-ALL
1469 as priority strings. Those allow to set all the supported algorithms
1472 ** p11tool: Introduced. It allows manipulating pkcs 11 tokens.
1474 ** gnutls-cli: Print channel binding only in verbose mode.
1475 Before it printed it after the 'Compression:' output, thus breaking
1476 Emacs starttls.el string searches.
1478 ** API and ABI modifications:
1479 gnutls_pkcs11_token_init: New function
1480 gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin: New function
1482 * Version 2.11.4 (released 2010-10-15)
1484 ** libgnutls: Add new API gnutls_session_channel_binding.
1485 The function is used to get the channel binding data. Currently only
1486 the "tls-unique" (RFC 5929) channel binding type is supported, through
1487 the GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE type. See new section "Channel Bindings" in
1490 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Print 'tls-unique' Channel Bindings.
1492 ** doc: Added pkcs11.h header file to GTK-DOC manual.
1494 ** build: Update gnulib files.
1496 ** i18n: Update translations.
1498 ** tests: Add self tests gendh.c. Speed up Guile self checks.
1500 ** API and ABI modifications:
1501 gnutls_session_channel_binding: New function.
1502 gnutls_channel_binding_t: New enumeration.
1503 GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE: New gnutls_channel_binding_t enum member.
1504 GNUTLS_E_CHANNEL_BINDING_NOT_AVAILABLE: New error code.
1506 * Version 2.11.3 (released 2010-10-14)
1508 ** Indent code to follow the GNU Coding Standard.
1509 You should be able to unpack the 2.11.2 release and run 'make indent'
1510 twice to get exactly the same content as 2.11.3 except for generated
1511 files. Using GNU Indent 2.2.11.
1513 ** API and ABI modifications:
1514 No changes since last version.
1516 * Version 2.11.2 (released 2010-10-08)
1518 ** libgnutls: Several bug fixes on session resumption
1519 and session tickets support.
1521 ** libgnutls: Add new extended key usage ipsecIKE.
1523 ** certtool: Renamed PKCS #11 options to: --p11-provider,
1524 --p11-export-url, --p11-list-certs, --p11-list-certs,
1525 --p11-list-privkeys, --p11-list-trusted, --p11-list-all-certs,
1526 --p11-list-all, --p11-list-tokens, --p11-login, --p11-write,
1527 --p11-write-label, --p11-write-trusted, --p11-detailed-url,
1530 ** libgnutls: Corrected bug that caused importing DSA keys as RSA,
1531 introduced with the new nettle code.
1533 ** libgnutls: Corrected advertizing issue for session tickets.
1535 ** API and ABI modifications:
1536 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_unique_id: ADDED.
1537 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_unique_id: ADDED.
1539 * Version 2.11.1 (released 2010-09-14)
1541 ** libgnutls: Nettle is the default crypto back end. Use --with-libgcrypt
1542 to use the libgcrypt back end.
1544 ** libgnutls: Depend on nettle 2.1. This makes nettle a fully working
1545 backend crypto library.
1547 ** libgnutls: Added RSA_NULL_SHA1 and SHA256 ciphersuites.
1549 ** libgnutls: Several updates in the buffering internal interface.
1551 ** libgnutls: Is now more liberal in the PEM decoding. That is spaces and
1552 tabs are being skipped.
1554 ** libgnutls: Added support for draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-02.
1556 ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the
1559 ** libgnutls: by default lowat level has been set to zero to avoid unnecessary
1560 system calls. Applications that depended on it being 1 should explicitly call
1561 gnutls_transport_set_lowat().
1563 ** libgnutls: Updated documentation and gnutls_pk_params_t mappings
1564 to ECRYPT II recommendations. Mappings were moved to a single location
1565 and DSA keys are handled differently (since DSA2 allows for 1024,2048
1566 and 3072 keys only).
1568 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
1569 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
1570 is unable to decode the key.
1572 ** libgnutls: HMAC-MD5 no longer used by default.
1574 ** API and ABI modifications:
1575 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
1576 gnutls_x509_privkey_sec_param: ADDED
1578 * Version 2.11.0 (released 2010-07-22)
1580 ** libgnutls: support scattered write using writev(). This takes
1581 advantage of the new buffering layer and allows queuing of packets
1582 and flushing them. This is currently used for handshake messages
1585 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
1586 alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
1587 locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
1588 critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
1589 previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
1590 locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
1591 that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
1593 #if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
1597 ** libgnutls: Added support for reading DN from EV-certificates.
1599 jurisdictionOfIncorporationLocalityName,
1600 jurisdictionOfIncorporationStateOrProvinceName,
1601 jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName
1603 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA signing/verifying with bit
1606 ** libgnutls-extra: When in FIPS mode gnutls_global_init_extra()
1607 has to be called to register any required md5 handlers.
1609 ** libgnutls: Internal buffering code was replaced by simpler
1610 code contributed by Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault.
1612 ** libgnutls: Internal API for extensions augmented to allow
1613 safe storing and loading of data on resumption. This allows writing
1614 self-contained extensions (when possible). As a side effect
1615 the OPRFI extension was removed.
1617 ** libgnutls: Added support for DSA-SHA256 and DSA-SHA224
1619 ** libgnutls: Added PKCS #11 support and an API to access objects in
1620 gnutls/pkcs11.h. Currently certificates and public keys can be
1621 imported from tokens, and operations can be performed on private keys.
1623 ** libgnutls: Added abstract gnutls_privkey_t and gnutls_pubkey_t
1625 ** libgnutls: Added initial support for the nettle library. It uses
1626 the system's random generator for seeding. That is /dev/urandom in Linux,
1627 system calls in Win32 and EGD on other systems.
1629 ** libgnutls: Corrected issue on the %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string. It now
1630 works even when resuming a session.
1632 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function() to replace the
1633 similar gnutls_certificate_set_server_retrieve_function() and
1634 gnutls_certificate_set_client_retrieve_function(). In addition it support
1635 PKCS #11 private keys.
1637 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt(), gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey(),
1638 and gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url() to allow copying and deleting data in tokens.
1640 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() et al. to allow select bit
1641 sizes for private keys using a human understandable scale.
1643 ** certtool: Added new options: --pkcs11-list-tokens, --pkcs11-list-all
1644 --pkcs11-list-all-certs, --pkcs11-list-trusted, --pkcs11-list-certs,
1645 --pkcs11-delete-url, --pkcs11-write
1647 certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
1648 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior can
1649 be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
1651 certtool: Added --certificate-pubkey to print the public key of the
1654 ** gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv: --x509cafile, --x509certfile and --x509keyfile
1655 can now accept a PKCS #11 URL in addition to a file. This will allow for
1656 example to use the Gnome-keyring trusted certificate list to verify
1657 connections using a url such as:
1658 pkcs11:token=Root%20CA%20Certificates;serial=1%3AROOTS%3ADEFAULT;model=1%2E0;manufacturer=Gnome%20Keyring

1739 * Version 2.10.1 (released 2010-07-25)
1741 ** libgnutls: Added support for broken certificates that indicate RSA
1744 ** gnutls-cli: Allow verification using V1 CAs.
1746 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_privkey_import() will fallback to
1747 gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8() without a password, if it
1748 is unable to decode the key.
1750 ** libgnutls: Correctly deinitialize crypto API functions to prevent
1751 a memory leak. Reported by Mads Kiilerich.
1753 ** certtool: If asked to generate DSA keys of size more than 1024 bits,
1754 issue a warning, that the output key might not be working everywhere.
1756 ** certtool: The --pkcs-cipher is taken into account when generating a
1757 private key. The default cipher used now is aes-128. The old behavior
1758 can be simulated by specifying "--pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12".
1760 ** API and ABI modifications:
1761 No changes since last version.
1763 * Version 2.10.0 (released 2010-06-25)
1765 ** API and ABI modifications:
1766 No changes since last version.
1768 * Version 2.9.12 (released 2010-06-17)
1770 ** gnutls-cli: Make --starttls work again.
1771 Problem introduced in patch to use read() instead of fgets() committed
1774 ** API and ABI modifications:
1775 No changes since last version.
1777 * Version 2.9.11 (released 2010-06-07)
1779 ** libgnutls: Removed two APIs related to safe renegotiation.
1780 Use priority strings instead. The APIs were
1781 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial and gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set.
1782 (Remember that we don't promise ABI stability during development
1783 series, so this doesn't cause an shared library ABI increment.)
1785 ** tests: More self testing of safe renegotiation extension.
1786 See tests/safe-renegotiation/README for more information.
1788 ** doc: a PDF version of the API reference manual (GTK-DOC) is now built.
1790 ** doc: Terms 'GNUTLS' and 'GNU TLS' were changed to 'GnuTLS' for consistency.
1792 ** API and ABI modifications:
1793 gnutls_safe_negotiation_set_initial: REMOVED.
1794 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_set: REMOVED.
1796 * Version 2.9.10 (released 2010-04-22)
1798 ** libgnutls: Time verification extended to trusted certificate list.
1799 Unless new constant GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TRUSTED_TIME_CHECKS flag is
1802 ** certtool: Display postalCode and Name X.509 DN attributes correctly.
1803 Based on patch by Pavan Konjarla. Adds new constant
1804 GNUTLS_OID_X520_POSTALCODE and GNUTLS_OID_X520_NAME.
1806 ** libgnutls: Added Steve Dispensa's patch for safe renegotiation (RFC 5746)
1807 Solves the issue discussed in:
1808 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03928.html> and
1809 <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03948.html>.
1810 Note that to allow connecting to unpatched servers the full protection
1811 is only enabled if the priority string %SAFE_RENEGOTIATION is
1812 specified. You can check whether protection is in place by querying
1813 gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status(). New error codes
1814 GNUTLS_E_SAFE_RENEGOTIATION_FAILED and
1815 GNUTLS_E_UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION_DENIED added.
1817 ** libgnutls: When checking openpgp self signature also check the signatures
1819 Ilari Liusvaara noticed and reported the issue and provided test
1822 ** libgnutls: Added cryptodev support (/dev/crypto).
1823 Tested with http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/. Added
1824 benchmark utility for AES. Adds new error codes
1825 GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_IOCTL_ERROR and GNUTLS_E_CRYPTODEV_DEVICE_ERROR.
1827 ** libgnutls: Exported API to access encryption and hash algorithms.
1828 The new API functions are gnutls_cipher_decrypt, gnutls_cipher_deinit,
1829 gnutls_cipher_encrypt, gnutls_cipher_get_block_size,
1830 gnutls_cipher_init, gnutls_hash, gnutls_hash_deinit, gnutls_hash_fast,
1831 gnutls_hash_get_len, gnutls_hash_init, gnutls_hash_output,
1832 gnutls_hmac, gnutls_hmac_deinit, gnutls_hmac_fast,
1833 gnutls_hmac_get_len, gnutls_hmac_init, gnutls_hmac_output. New API
1834 constants are GNUTLS_MAC_SHA224 and GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224.
1836 ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function() to allow
1837 verification of certificate upon receipt rather than waiting until the
1838 end of the handshake.
1840 ** libgnutls: Don't send alerts during handshake.
1841 Instead new error code GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME is added.
1843 ** certtool: Corrected two issues that affected certificate request generation.
1844 (1) Null padding is added on integers (found thanks to Wilankar Trupti),
1845 (2) In optional SignatureAlgorithm parameters field for DSA keys the DSA
1846 parameters were added. Those were rejected by Verisign. Gnutls no longer adds
1847 those parameters there since other implementations don't do either and having
1848 them does not seem to offer anything (anyway you need the signer's certificate
1849 to verify thus public key will be available). Found thanks to Boyan Kasarov.
1850 This however has the side-effect that public key IDs shown by certtool are
1851 now different than previous gnutls releases.
1852 (3) the option --pgp-certificate-info will verify self signatures
1854 ** certtool: Allow exporting of Certificate requests on DER format.
1856 ** certtool: New option --no-crq-extensions to avoid extensions in CSRs.
1858 ** gnutls-cli: Handle reading binary data from server.
1859 Reported by and tiny patch from Vitaly Mayatskikh
1860 <v.mayatskih@gmail.com> in

1925 ** libgnutls: Fix for memory leaks on interrupted handshake.
1926 Reported by Tang Tong.
1928 ** libgnutls: Addition of support for TLS 1.2 signature algorithms
1929 ** extension and certificate verify field.
1930 This requires changes for TLS 1.2 servers and clients that use
1931 callbacks for certificate retrieval. They are now required to check
1932 with gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested() whether the certificate
1933 they send complies with the peer's preferences in signature
1936 ** libgnutls: In server side when resuming a session do not overwrite the
1937 ** initial session data with the resumed session data.
1939 ** libgnutls: Added support for AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 in PKCS #8
1941 This affects also PKCS #12 encoded files. This adds the following new
1942 enums: GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_192_CBC, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_128,
1943 GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_192, GNUTLS_PKCS_USE_PBES2_AES_256.
1945 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 encoding.
1946 The error you would get was "The OID is not supported.". Problem

1949 ** certtool: Added the --pkcs-cipher option.
1950 To explicitely specify the encryption algorithm to use.
1952 ** tests: Added "pkcs12_encode" self-test to check PKCS#12 functions.
1954 ** tests: Fix time bomb in chainverify self-test.
1955 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in

1996 The new functions are gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name2,
1997 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_name, and
1998 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_alt_othername_oid. Contributed by Brad

2015 The patch to resolve the X.509 CN/SAN issue accidentally broken
2016 OpenPGP hostname comparison.
2018 ** libgnutls: When printing X.509 certificates, handle XMPP SANs better.
2019 Reported by Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com> in
2020 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106975>.
2022 ** Fix use of deprecated types internally.
2023 Use of deprecated types in GnuTLS from now on will lead to a compile
2024 error, to prevent this from happening again.
2026 ** API and ABI modifications:
2027 No changes since last version.
2029 * Version 2.9.3 (released 2009-08-19)
2031 ** libgnutls: Support for TLS tickets was contributed by Daiki Ueno.
2032 The new APIs are gnutls_session_ticket_enable_client,
2033 gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server, and
2034 gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate.

2043 * Version 2.9.2 (released 2009-08-14)
2045 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
2046 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
2047 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
2048 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
2049 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
2050 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
2051 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
2052 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
2053 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
2054 attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
2055 certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
2056 sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
2057 Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
2058 for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4] [CVE-2009-2730].
2060 ** libgnutls: Fix rare failure in gnutls_x509_crt_import.
2061 The function may fail incorrectly when an earlier certificate was
2062 imported to the same gnutls_x509_crt_t structure.
2064 ** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v2.3.
2066 ** libgnutls: Fix return value of gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status.
2067 Before it always returned false. Reported by Peter Hendrickson
2068 <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
2069 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3668>.
2071 ** libgnutls: Fix off-by-one size computation error in unknown DN printing.
2072 The error resulted in truncated strings when printing unknown OIDs in
2073 X.509 certificate DNs. Reported by Tim Kosse
2074 <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
2075 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3651>.
2077 ** libgnutls: Fix PKCS#12 decryption from password.
2078 The encryption key derived from the password was incorrect for (on
2079 average) 1 in every 128 input for random inputs. Reported by "Kukosa,
2080 Tomas" <tomas.kukosa@siemens-enterprise.com> in
2081 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1663>.
2083 ** libgnutls: Return correct bit lengths of some MPIs.
2084 gnutls_dh_get_prime_bits, gnutls_rsa_export_get_modulus_bits, and
2085 gnutls_dh_get_peers_public_bits. Before the reported value was
2086 overestimated. Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
2087 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3607>.
2089 ** libgnutls: Avoid internal error when invoked after GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.
2090 Report and patch by Tim Kosse <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org> in
2091 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3671>
2093 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3670>.
2095 ** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.
2096 Before we required that the runtime library used the same (or more
2097 recent) libgcrypt/libtasn1 as it was compiled with. Now we just check
2098 that the runtime usage is above the minimum required. Reported by
2099 Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> via Andreas Metzler
2100 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in <http://bugs.debian.org/540449>.
2102 ** tests: Added new self-test pkcs12_s2k_pem to detect MPI bit length error.
2104 ** tests: Improved test vectors in self-test pkcs12_s2k.
2106 ** tests: Added new self-test dn2 to detect off-by-one size error.
2108 ** tests: Fix failure in "chainverify" because a certificate have expired.
2110 ** API and ABI modifications:
2111 No changes since last version.
2113 * Version 2.9.1 (released 2009-06-08)
2115 ** libgnutls: Fix crash in gnutls_global_init after earlier init/deinit cycle.
2116 Forwarded by Martin von Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net> from
2117 <http://bugs.gentoo.org/272388>.

2121 ** Reduce stack usage for some CRQ functions.
2123 ** Doc fixes for CRQ functions.
2125 ** API and ABI modifications:
2126 No changes since last version.
2128 * Version 2.9.0 (released 2009-05-28)
2132 ** API and ABI modifications:
2133 No changes since last version.
2135 * Version 2.8.6 (released 2010-03-15)
2137 ** libgnutls: For CSRs, don't null pad integers for RSA/DSA value.
2138 VeriSign rejected CSRs with this padding. Reported by Wilankar Trupti
2139 <trupti.wilankar@hp.com> and Boyan Kasarov <bkasarov@gmail.com>.
2141 Note: As a side effect of this change, the "public key identifier"
2142 value computed for a certificate using this version of GnuTLS will be

2233 * Version 2.8.2 (released 2009-08-10)
2235 ** libgnutls: Fix problem with NUL bytes in X.509 CN and SAN fields.
2236 By using a NUL byte in CN/SAN fields, it was possible to fool GnuTLS
2237 into 1) not printing the entire CN/SAN field value when printing a
2238 certificate and 2) cause incorrect positive matches when matching a
2239 hostname against a certificate. Some CAs apparently have poor
2240 checking of CN/SAN values and issue these (arguable invalid)
2241 certificates. Combined, this can be used by attackers to become a
2242 MITM on server-authenticated TLS sessions. The problem is mitigated
2243 since attackers needs to get one certificate per site they want to
2244 attack, and the attacker reveals his tracks by applying for a
2245 certificate at the CA. It does not apply to client authenticated TLS
2246 sessions. Research presented independently by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie
2247 Marlinspike at BlackHat09. Thanks to Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
2248 for providing one part of the patch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-4].

2273 ** libgnutls: Relax checking of required libtasn1/libgcrypt versions.

2275 recent) libgcrypt/libtasn1 as it was compiled with. Now we just check
2276 that the runtime usage is above the minimum required. Reported by

2409 No offically supported interfaces have been modified or removed. The
2410 library should be completely backwards compatible on both the source
2413 The shared library no longer exports some symbols that have never been
2414 officially supported, i.e., not mentioned in any of the header files.
2420 Normally when symbols are removed, the shared library version has to
2421 be incremented. This leads to a significant cost for everyone using
2422 the library. Because none of the above symbols have ever been
2423 intended for use by well-behaved applications, we decided that the it
2424 would be better for those applications to pay the price rather than
2425 incurring problems on the majority of applications.
2427 If it turns out that applications have been using unofficial
2428 interfaces, we will need to release a follow-on release on the v2.8
2429 branch to exports additional interfaces. However, initial testing
2430 suggests that few if any applications have been using any of the
2433 Although not a new change compared to 2.6.x, we'd like to remind you
2434 interfaces have been modified so that X.509 chain verification now
2435 also checks activation/expiration times on certificates. The affected
2438 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
2439 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
2440 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
2441 GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.

2443 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
2445 This change in behaviour was made during the GnuTLS 2.6.x cycle, and
2446 we gave our rationale for it in earlier release notes.
2448 The following symbols have been added to the library:

2606 ** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
2607 Merged from stable branch. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
2609 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
2610 Merged from stable branch. Reported by Romain Francoise
2611 <romain@orebokech.com>. This changes the semantics of
2612 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in turn is used by
2613 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
2614 We add two new gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new
2615 error condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED.
2616 We also add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
2617 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new
2618 behaviour. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-3] [CVE-2009-1417]
2620 ** lib: Linker version scripts reduces number of exported symbols.
2621 The linker version script now lists all exported ABIs explicitly, to
2622 avoid accidentally exporting unintended functions. Compared to
2623 before, most symbols beginning with _gnutls* are no longer exported.
2624 These functions have never been intended for use by applications, and
2625 there were no prototypes for these function in the public header
2626 files. Thus we believe it is possible to do this without incrementing
2627 the library ABI version which normally has to be done when removing an
2630 ** lib: Limit exported symbols on systems without LD linker scripts.
2631 Before all symbols were exported. Now we limit the exported symbols
2632 to (for libgnutls and libgnutls-extra) gnutls* and (for libgnutls)
2633 _gnutls*. This is a superset of the actual supported ABI, but still
2634 an improvement compared to before. This is implemented using Libtool
2635 -export-symbols-regex. It is more portable than linker version
2638 ** libgnutls: Incremented CURRENT/AGE libtool version to reflect new symbols.
2639 This should have been done in the last release.
2641 ** gnutls-serv: Listen on all interfaces, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
2642 Reported by Peter Hendrickson <pdh@wiredyne.com> in
2643 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3476>.
2645 ** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
2646 We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
2647 directory categories to use. In particular, libgnutls moved from the
2648 'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and the command
2649 line tools moved from 'Network Applications' to 'System

2653 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: CHANGED, checks activation/expiration times.
2654 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers: Likewise.
2655 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2: Likewise.
2656 GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED: ADDED.

2658 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS: ADDED.
2660 * Version 2.7.7 (released 2009-04-20)
2662 ** libgnutls: Applied patch by Cedric Bail to add functions
2663 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash() and gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm().
2665 ** gnutls.pc: Add -ltasn1 to 'pkg-config --libs --static gnutls' output.
2666 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
2667 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3467>.
2669 ** minitasn1: Internal copy updated to libtasn1 v1.8.
2670 GnuTLS is also internally ready to be used with libtasn1 v2.0.
2672 ** doc: Fix build failure of errcodes/printlist.
2673 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org> in
2674 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3435>.
2676 ** i18n: The GnuTLS gettext domain is now 'libgnutls' instead of 'gnutls'.
2677 It is currently only used by the core library. This will enable a new
2678 domain 'gnutls' for translations of the command line tools.
2680 ** Corrected possible memory corruption on signature verification failure.
2681 Reported by Miroslav Kratochvil <exa.exa@gmail.com>
2683 ** API and ABI modifications:
2684 gnutls_x509_crt_verify_hash: ADDED
2685 gnutls_x509_crt_get_verify_algorithm: ADDED
2687 * Version 2.7.6 (released 2009-02-27)
2689 ** certtool: Query for multiple dnsName subjectAltName in interactive mode.
2690 This applies both to generating certificates and certificate requests.
2692 ** pkix.asn: Removed unneeded definitions to reduce memory usage.
2694 ** gnutls-cli: No longer accepts V1 CAs by default during X.509 chain verify.
2695 Use --priority NORMAL:%VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT to permit V1 CAs to
2696 be used for chain verification.
2698 ** gnutls-serv: No longer disable MAC padding by default.
2699 Use --priority NORMAL:%COMPAT to disable MAC padding again.
2701 ** gnutls-cli: Certificate information output format changed.
2702 The tool now uses libgnutls' functions to print certificate
2703 information. This avoids code duplication.
2705 ** libgnutls: New priority strings %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
2706 ** and %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT.
2707 They can be used to override the default certificate chain validation
2710 ** libgnutls: Added %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION priority string that allows to
2711 specify the client hello message record version. Used to overcome buggy
2712 TLS servers. Report by Martin von Gagern.
2714 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_print prints signature algorithm in oneline mode.
2716 ** libgnutls: gnutls_openpgp_crt_print supports oneline mode.
2718 ** doc: Update gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv --help output descriptions.
2720 ** API and ABI modifications:
2721 No changes since last version.
2723 * Version 2.7.5 (released 2009-02-06)
2725 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
2726 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
2727 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
2728 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
2729 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
2730 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
2731 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
2732 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
2733 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
2734 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
2735 <deengert@anl.gov> in
2736 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
2738 ** libgnutls: result_size in gnutls_hex_encode now holds
2739 the size of the result. Report by John Brooks <special@dereferenced.net>.
2741 ** libgnutls: gnutls_handshake when sending client hello during a
2742 rehandshake, will not offer a version number larger than the current.
2743 Reported by Tristan Hill <stan@saticed.me.uk>.
2745 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
2746 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
2747 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
2748 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
2749 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
2750 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
2752 ** API and ABI modifications:
2753 No changes since last version.
2755 * Version 2.7.4 (released 2009-01-07)
2757 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
2758 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
2759 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
2760 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
2761 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
2762 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
2763 debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
2764 Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
2766 ** libgnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
2767 Patch from David MarÃn Carreño <davefx@gmail.com> in
2768 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3321>.
2770 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.
2772 ** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
2773 Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
2774 which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
2775 internal validation algorithm. Now this command print a new final
2776 line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
2777 from using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.
2779 ** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.
2781 ** API and ABI modifications:
2782 gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.
2784 * Version 2.7.3 (released 2008-12-10)
2786 ** libgnutls: Fix chain verification for chains that ends with RSA-MD2 CAs.
2787 Reported by Michael Kiefer <Michael-Kiefer@web.de> in
2788 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507633> forwarded by
2789 Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
2790 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3309>.
2792 ** libgnutls: Libgcrypt initialization changed.
2793 If libgcrypt has not already been initialized, GnuTLS will now
2794 initialize libgcrypt with disabled secure memory. Initialize
2795 libgcrypt explicitly in your application if you want to enable secure
2796 memory. Before GnuTLS initialized libgcrypt to use GnuTLS's memory
2797 allocation functions, which doesn't use secure memory, so there is no
2798 real change in behaviour.
2800 ** libgnutls: Fix memory leak in PSK authentication.
2801 Reported by Michael Weiser <michael@weiser.dinsnail.net> in
2802 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1465>.
2804 ** libgnutls: Small byte reads via gnutls_record_recv() optimized.
2806 ** certtool: Move gcry_control(GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0) call earlier.
2807 It needs to be invoked before libgcrypt is initialized.
2809 ** gnutls-cli: Return non-zero exit code on error conditions.
2811 ** gnutls-cli: Corrected bug which caused a rehandshake request to be ignored.
2813 ** tests: Added chainverify self-test that tests X.509 chain verifications.
2815 ** API and ABI modifications:
2816 No changes since last version.
2818 * Version 2.7.2 (released 2008-11-18)
2820 ** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3]
2821 The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e.,
2822 active attackers) to assume any name and trick GnuTLS clients into
2823 trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von
2824 Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net>. [CVE-2008-4989]
2826 Any updates with more details about this vulnerability will be added
2827 to <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
2829 ** libgnutls: Fix namespace issue with version symbols.
2830 The symbols LIBGNUTLS_VERSION, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
2831 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
2832 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER were renamed to GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER,
2833 GNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR, GNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH, and
2834 GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER respectively. The old symbols will continue to
2835 work but are deprecated.
2837 ** certtool: allow setting arbitrary key purpose object identifiers.
2839 ** libgnutls: Fix detection of C99 macros, to make debug logging work again.
2841 ** libgnutls: Add missing prototype for gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.

2956 Reported by Miroslav Kratochvil <exa.exa@gmail.com>. See the advisory
2957 for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-1] [CVE-2009-1415]
2959 ** libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation.
2960 Noticed when investigating the previous GNUTLS-SA-2009-1 problem. All
2961 DSA keys generated using GnuTLS 2.6.x are corrupt. See the advisory
2962 for more details. [GNUTLS-SA-2009-2] [CVE-2009-1416]
2964 ** libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
2965 Reported by Romain Francoise <romain@orebokech.com>. Before the
2966 library did not check activation/expiration times on certificates, and
2967 was documented as not doing so. We have realized that many
2968 applications that use libgnutls, including gnutls-cli, fail to perform
2969 proper checks. Implementing similar logic in all applications leads
2970 to code duplication. Hence, we decided to check whether the current
2971 time (as reported by the time function) is within the
2972 activation/expiration period of certificates when verifying untrusted
2975 This changes the semantics of gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify, which in
2976 turn is used by gnutls_certificate_verify_peers and
2977 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2. We add two new
2978 gnutls_certificate_status_t codes for reporting the new error
2979 condition, GNUTLS_CERT_NOT_ACTIVATED and GNUTLS_CERT_EXPIRED. We also
2980 add a new gnutls_certificate_verify_flags flag,
2981 GNUTLS_VERIFY_DISABLE_TIME_CHECKS, that can be used to disable the new

3097 active attackers) to assume any name and trick GnuTLS clients into
3098 trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von
3099 Gagern <Martin.vGagern@gmx.net>. [CVE-2008-4989]
3101 Any updates with more details about this vulnerability will be added
3102 to <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
3104 ** libgnutls: Add missing prototype for gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.

3122 No changes since last version.
3124 * Version 2.6.0 (released 2008-10-06)
3126 ** libgnutls: Correct printing and parsing of IPv6 addresses.
3128 ** libgnutls-openssl: fix out of bounds access.
3129 Problem in X509_get_subject_name and X509_get_issuer_name. Tiny patch
3130 from Thomas Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de>.
3132 ** certtool: Use inet_pton for parsing IPv6 addresses.
3134 ** Major changes compared to the v2.4 branch:
3136 *** Added API to replace and update the crypto backend.
3138 *** certtool: can add several subject alternative names via template file.
3140 *** opencdk: Parse (but not decrypt) encrypted secret keys.
3142 *** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name() was added that can
3143 either set or append alternative names. It can also handle binary structures
3144 such as IP addresses.
3146 *** libgnutls: New function to set minimum acceptable SRP bits.
3147 The function is gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits.
3149 *** libgnutls: Add interface to deal with public key and signature algorithms.
3150 The functions are called gnutls_pk_list, gnutls_pk_get_id,
3151 gnutls_sign_list, and gnutls_sign_get_id.
3153 *** libgnutls: New interfaces to get name of public key and signing algorithms.
3154 The functions are gnutls_sign_get_name and gnutls_pk_get_name.
3156 *** libgnutls: New API to get a string corresponding to a error symbol.
3157 The function is gnutls_strerror_name.
3159 *** libgnutls: New API to set the public parameters in a certificate request
3160 *** from a private key.
3161 The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw.
3163 *** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
3164 The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
3165 it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
3167 *** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
3169 *** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
3170 The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
3171 for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
3172 types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
3173 classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
3176 *** libgnutls-extra: Add function to work with Libgcrypt in FIPS mode.
3177 The function is gnutls_register_md5_handler. When libgcrypt is in
3178 FIPS mode, MD5 is disabled, but TLS normally requires use of MD5 in
3181 *** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.6
3182 No functions have been removed or modified. The library should be
3183 fully backwards compatible on both the source and binary level.
3185 A new header file <gnutls/crypto.h> have been added. It contains
3186 definitions related to replacing the internal crypto functionality.
3187 All definitions and the header itself is experimental but supported.
3189 We have realized that the symbols TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE
3190 does not use the normal namespace. We have added GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE
3191 and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE, but the old symbols are still defined.
3193 The following functions have been added to libgnutls:
3197 gnutls_crypto_bigint_register2
3198 gnutls_crypto_cipher_register2
3199 gnutls_crypto_digest_register2
3200 gnutls_crypto_mac_register2

3222 gnutls_register_md5_handler
3224 ** API and ABI modifications:
3225 No changes since last version.
3227 * Version 2.5.9 (released 2008-09-29)
3229 ** libgnutls: Fix several memory leaks.

3233 Report and patch by Jonathan Manktelow.
3235 ** libgnutls: crypto.h gnutls_pk_params_st changes allocation strategy.
3236 The parameters are now allocated in the structure itself.
3238 ** doc: Texinfo HTML manual uses a stylesheet to improve readability.
3240 ** tests: Scripts now use EXEEXT properly.
3241 Modern libtool doesn't create wrapper script, so the self tests need
3242 to invoke certtool.exe under MinGW32+Wine.
3244 ** Uses autoconf 2.63, automake 1.10.1, libtool 2.2.6a.
3245 Automake warnings are now also enabled.
3247 ** API and ABI modifications:
3248 gnutls_pk_params_st: MODIFIED
3250 * Version 2.5.8 (released 2008-09-21)
3252 ** certtool: updated so it can add several subject alternative names using
3255 ** libgnutls: gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name() was added that can
3256 either set or append alternative names. It can also handle binary structures
3257 such as IP addresses.
3259 ** libgnutls: Fix crash in hashing code when using non-libgcrypt handlers.
3261 ** libgnutls: New function to set minimum acceptable SRP bits.
3262 The function is gnutls_srp_set_prime_bits. Tiny patch by Kevin Quick
3263 <quick@sparq.org> in <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106454>.
3265 ** libgnutls: Check for overflows in gnutls_calloc and gnutls_secure_calloc.
3266 Also fix overflows in calls to those functions. Reported by Werner
3267 Koch <wk@gnupg.org>.
3269 ** libgnutls-extra: Add function to work with Libgcrypt in FIPS mode.

3310 The functions are called gnutls_pk_list, gnutls_pk_get_id,
3311 gnutls_sign_list, and gnutls_sign_get_id. Suggested by Sam
3312 Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>.
3314 ** libgnutls: Refactor and clean up some code.
3316 ** libgnutls: Fix compile error with Sun CC.
3318 ** gnutls-cli: Improve --list output to include public key and signature algs.
3320 ** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Remove --copyright parameter.
3321 Use standard --version to get license info.
3323 ** gnutls-cli.1: Document all new parameters.
3324 Thanks to James Westby <jw+debian@jameswestby.net>.
3326 ** tests: New self-test pgps2kgnu to test parsing of encrypted secrets.
3327 Contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.

3333 gnutls_sign_get_id: ADDED
3335 * Version 2.5.5 (released 2008-08-29)
3337 ** libgnutls: New API to get a string corresponding to a error symbol.
3338 The function is gnutls_strerror_name.
3340 ** libgnutls: Fix include paths so that building with internal libtasn1 works.
3341 Reported by "jth.net ApS" <info@jth.net>.
3343 ** libgnutls: Fix segmentation fault when generating private keys.
3344 Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.
3346 ** libgnutls: Remove code to import certificate chains in PKCS#7 format.
3347 The code has not worked since v0.9.0 and apparently nobody has missed
3348 it, so we decided to remove the code rather than fix it. If you have
3349 old certificate chains stored in PKCS#7 format, you can convert them
3350 to a list of PEM certificates by using 'certtool --p7-info'. Reported
3351 by Christian Grothoff <christian@grothoff.org>.
3353 ** opencdk: Parse (but not decrypt) encrypted secret keys.
3354 Contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.
3356 ** libgnutls: Fix many warnings.
3358 ** Included copy of libtasn1 is upgraded to version 1.5.
3360 ** Add French translation, thanks to Nicolas Provost.

3365 * Version 2.5.4 (released 2008-08-19)
3367 ** Fix secure memory initialization of libgcrypt.
3368 Reported by Joe Orton <joe@manyfish.co.uk> in
3369 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2992>.
3372 Reference to NIST SP 800-57 in the manual on key size recommendations.
3373 Added 'Since:' tags to new APIs for gtk-doc.
3375 ** API and ABI modifications:
3376 No changes since last version.
3378 * Version 2.5.3 (released 2008-08-14)
3380 ** libgnutls: New API to set the public parameters in a certificate request
3381 ** from a private key.
3382 The function is gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw. Inspired by
3383 discussion with "Zach C." <fxchip@gmail.com>.
3385 ** libgnutls: New API to set a callback to extract TLS Finished data.
3386 The function to register is gnutls_session_set_finished_function and
3387 it takes a callback of the gnutls_finished_callback_func type.
3389 ** libgnutls: Drop final comma after GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL in enum.
3390 Reported in <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106453>.
3392 ** libgnutls: Fix namespace problem with TLS_MASTER_SIZE and TLS_RANDOM_SIZE.
3393 The new names are GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE and GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE. The old
3394 names are mapped to the new names in compat.h. These mappings will
3395 likely be removed more quickly than other mappings in that file due to
3396 the namespace violation.
3398 ** libgnutlsxx: Make it build when SRP is disabled.
3400 ** doc: Add doxygen files in doc/doxygen/.
3402 ** API and ABI modifications:
3403 gnutls_x509_crq_set_key_rsa_raw: ADDED
3404 gnutls_session_set_finished_function: ADDED
3405 gnutls_finished_callback_func: ADDED
3406 GNUTLS_MASTER_SIZE: ADDED
3407 GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE: ADDED
3408 TLS_MASTER_SIZE: DEPRECATED
3409 TLS_RANDOM_SIZE: DEPRECATED
3411 * Version 2.5.2 (released 2008-07-08)
3413 ** libgnutls: Fix bug in gnutls_dh_params_generate2.
3414 The prime and generator was swapped.
3416 ** libgnutls: New interface to register a new TLS extension handler.
3417 The new function gnutls_ext_register can be used to register handlers
3418 for specific TLS extension types. The callback functions have the new
3419 types gnutls_ext_recv_func and gnutls_ext_send_func. A type to
3420 classify TLS extensions, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t, has been added as
3423 ** Move more code for TLS/IA extension from libgnutls to libgnutls-extra.
3424 This was made possible by using the new gnutls_ext_register interface.
3425 The TLS/IA functionality has only been supported through the
3426 libgnutls-extra library, so it makes sense for the code to belong
3429 ** API and ABI modifications:
3430 gnutls_ext_recv_func: ADDED
3431 gnutls_ext_send_func: ADDED
3432 gnutls_ext_parse_type_t: ADDED
3433 gnutls_ext_register: ADDED
3435 * Version 2.5.1 (released 2008-07-02)
3439 ** API and ABI modifications:
3440 No changes since last version.
3442 * Version 2.5.0 (released 2008-07-02)
3444 ** Port fixes from v2.4.1 release, see below.
3446 ** Added API to replace and update the crypto backend.
3447 The header gnutls/crypto.h is now officially supported, and declares
3450 ** Rewritten opencdk crypto backend, to use the gnutls internal one.
3452 ** Update gnulib and translations.
3453 The gnulib gc crypto code has been removed since it was never finished
3454 and is no longer even used. An internal non-libgcrypt crypto
3455 implementation may be added in the future, but we'll decide that later
3458 ** API and ABI modifications:

3467 gnutls_crypto_single_mac_register2: ADDED.
3469 * Version 2.4.3 (released 2009-02-06)
3471 ** libgnutls: Accept chains where intermediary certs are trusted.
3472 Before GnuTLS needed to validate the entire chain back to a
3473 self-signed certificate. GnuTLS will now stop looking when it has
3474 found an intermediary trusted certificate. The new behaviour is
3475 useful when chains, for example, contains a top-level CA, an
3476 intermediary CA signed using RSA-MD5, and an end-entity certificate.
3477 To avoid chain validation errors due to the RSA-MD5 cert, you can
3478 explicitly add the intermediary RSA-MD5 cert to your trusted certs.
3479 The signature on trusted certificates are not checked, so the chain
3480 has a chance to validate correctly. Reported by "Douglas E. Engert"
3481 <deengert@anl.gov> in
3482 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3484 ** libgnutls: Permit V1 Certificate Authorities properly.
3485 Before they were mistakenly rejected even though
3486 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_ANY_X509_V1_CA_CRT and/or
3487 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT were supplied. Reported by
3488 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov> in
3489 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3351>.
3491 ** libgnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
3492 This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
3493 certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
3494 for certificates using a weak hash. Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
3495 <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
3496 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
3497 debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
3498 Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.

3506 ** libgnutls: Fix crash in X.509 validation code for self-signed certificates.
3507 The patch to fix the security problem GNUTLS-SA-2008-3 introduced a
3508 problem for certificate chains that contained just one self-signed
3509 certificate. Reported by Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org> in

3555 If the gnutls_handshake function is called for a normal session, which
3556 can happen for re-handshakes, the library would crash because it tried
3557 to hash some data using a libgcrypt handle that had been deallocated.

3578 ** API and ABI modifications:
3579 No changes since last version.
3581 * Version 2.4.0 (released 2008-06-19)
3583 ** Major changes compared to the v2.2 branch:
3585 *** The OpenPGP sub-system has been improved and now supports subkeys.
3587 *** The PSK sub-system has been improved and now supports password
3588 *** derivation and PSK identity hints.
3589 The password derivation algorithms support is documented in
3590 draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt.
3592 *** The certtool --inder and --outder has been replaced by --inraw and --outraw.
3593 This aligns terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use DER encoding.
3594 The old parameters will continue to work for some time.
3596 *** Certtool now confirm passwords and changes permissions of private key files.
3598 *** The default handshake size limit has been increased to 48kb.
3599 It appears as if some valid handshakes are large due to sending many
3600 CA certificates. (The earlier limit was 16kb.)
3602 *** LZO compression is now disabled by default.
3603 The main reason is that LZO compression in TLS is not standardized,
3604 but license compatiblity issues with minilzo triggered us to make this
3607 *** Improvements for cross-compilation to Windows and OpenWRT.
3609 *** The look of the GTK-DOC manual has been improved.
3610 Major developer visible changes compared to the v2.2 branch:
3612 *** Full OpenPGP support is part of libgnutls, licensed under the LGPL.
3614 *** New APIs to access the raw X.509 Subject and Issuer DN's and
3615 *** elements from the certificate credentials structure.
3616 Thanks to Joe Orton.
3618 *** New APIs to improve working with username/passwords and PSK.
3620 *** Names of constants to affect certificate printing changed.
3621 The constants are used for OpenPGP too, which the names didn't
3622 reflect, so the following name change has been made:
3625 GNUTLS_X509_CRT_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL
3626 GNUTLS_X509_CRT_ONELINE GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE
3627 GNUTLS_X509_CRT_UNSIGNED_FULL GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL
3629 The old names will be mapped to the new names for some time.
3631 *** The function gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_id has been renamed to
3632 *** gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_key_id.
3633 A compatibility mapping exists to avoid breaking API backwards
3636 *** Replaced all uses of alloca with malloc and free.
3638 *** We no longer build with -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE.
3639 We have been unable to find a documented rationale for this practice.
3641 *** Of course, many smaller fixes have been made, see the ChangeLog file.
3643 *** API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.4
3644 All OpenPGP related functions have been moved from libgnutls-extra to
3645 libgnutls, and several new functions have been added (see below).
3646 Before making the release, we discussed whether moving functions from
3647 libgnutls-extra to libgnutls would require us to increment the ABI
3648 version, but the general opinion was that this would not be required.
3649 All older functions continue to work the same. We are open to the
3650 possibility that this decision will lead to problem on some platform,
3651 and if it turns out that the Right Thing should have been to increment
3652 the shared library version, we would need to release an update within
3653 the 2.4.x branch that increments the shared library version.
3655 This release adds the following functions:
3657 gnutls_psk_client_get_hint
3658 gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint
3659 gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key
3661 Used to get/set the PSK identity hint, and derive PSK keys from
3662 passwords a'la netconf.
3664 gnutls_x509_dn_deinit
3665 gnutls_x509_dn_export
3666 gnutls_x509_dn_import
3669 Used to handle X.509 Certificate DN's directly.
3673 Converts a data buffer to hex. Useful for handling PSK/SRP shared
3676 gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas
3677 gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls
3678 gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring
3680 Functions for direct access to credential elements.
3682 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_auth_subkey
3683 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_id
3684 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_pk_dsa_raw

3720 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_revoked_status
3721 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_set_preferred_key_id
3723 New OpenPGP related functions.
3725 The function gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_key_id is the same as the old
3726 from gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_id, see above.
3728 The release also adds a new header file 'gnutls/crypto.h', however it
3729 is currently not used.
3731 ** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: New APIs to retrieve fingerprint from OpenPGP subkeys.
3732 Contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>.
3734 ** API and ABI modifications:
3735 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_subkey_fingerprint: ADDED.
3736 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_subkey_fingerprint: ADDED.
3738 * Version 2.3.15 (released 2008-06-15)
3740 ** Disable the openpgp-certs self-tests.
3741 It results in failure under Wine and doesn't work on Debian buildds.
3743 ** API and ABI modifications:
3744 No changes since last version.
3746 * Version 2.3.14 (released 2008-06-11)
3748 ** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: Changed OpenPGP verification behaviour.
3749 An OpenPGP certificate is now only considered verified if all the user
3752 ** Examples: Make C++ example compile.
3753 Earlier it may have failed with an unresolved reference to strlen.
3755 ** Documentation: Doc fix for gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_oid.
3756 Reported by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>.
3758 ** API and ABI modifications:
3759 No changes since last version.
3761 * Version 2.3.13 (released 2008-06-07)
3763 ** libgnutls [OpenPGP]: Make OpenPGP handshakes work again.
3765 ** doc/: Add psktool to info index. Some minor cleanups.
3767 ** tests/: Added non-forking TLS handshake test, see tests/mini.c.
3769 ** tests/: Added libgcrypt.supp which can be used with valgrind.
3770 The file suppresses the known libgcrypt memory leaks, so they aren't
3771 printed when you run valgrind on the gnutls self-tests. Use it as
3772 follows: valgrind --suppressions=libgcrypt.supp ./x509self or add
3773 '--suppressions=/home/you/src/gnutls/tests/libgcrypt.supp' to your
3776 ** tests/: Reduce amount of debugging output by default.
3777 Use --verbose for each test to get the full output.
3779 ** tests/: Fix memory leaks in several self-tests.
3780 None of the self tests should be leaking memory when running valgrind
3781 or similar tools. (Known exceptions are dhepskself, pskself, and
3782 set_pkcs12_cred, which appear likely to be due to memory leaks in the
3785 ** API and ABI modifications:
3786 No changes since last version.
3788 * Version 2.3.12 (released 2008-06-04)
3790 ** Merge gnutls_with_netconf branch.
3792 *** libgnutls [PSK]: New API to retrieve PSK identity hint in client.
3793 The function is gnutls_psk_client_get_hint.
3795 *** libgnutls [PSK]: New API to set PSK identity hint in server.
3796 The function is gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint.
3798 *** libgnutls [PSK]: Support server key exchange with PSK identity hint.
3799 In the client, the message is parsed and the application can use
3800 gnutls_psk_client_get_hint to retrieve the hint. In the server, the
3801 message is sent if the application has specified a PSK identity hint
3802 using gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint.
3804 *** libgnutls [PSK]: Support Netconf PSK key derivation.
3805 The function gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key supports the PSK key
3806 derivation as specified in draft-ietf-netconf-tls-02.txt. New self
3809 *** psktool: Support new --netconf-hint to generate PSK key from password.
3810 Uses the Netconf algorithm to derive PSK key from password.
3812 *** gnutls-serv: Support new --pskhint parameter to set PSK identity hint.
3814 *** gnutls-cli: Always support PSK modes, through a callback.
3815 The callback will derive a PSK key using Netconf algorithm. It will
3816 print the PSK identity hint to help the user.
3818 *** New PSK example client and server.
3819 See doc/examples/ex-client-psk.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-psk.c.
3821 ** libgnutls: Fix gnutls_x509_crl_set_version on arm platforms.
3822 The code didn't work properly on platforms where 'char' is unsigned,
3823 when you set version 0. Reported by Laurence Withers
3824 <l@lwithers.me.uk> in
3825 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2825>.
3827 ** libgnutls-openssl: added RAND_pseudo_bytes API.
3828 Patch from Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>.
3830 ** API and ABI modifications:
3831 RAND_pseudo_bytes: ADDED to libgnutls-openssl.
3832 gnutls_psk_client_get_hint: ADDED.
3833 gnutls_psk_set_server_credentials_hint: ADDED.
3834 gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key: ADDED
3836 * Version 2.3.11 (released 2008-05-20)
3838 ** Fix flaw in fix for GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
3839 The flaw would result in incorrectly terminated sessions with the
3840 error "Decryption has failed" when the server sends a small packet
3841 (typically when the session is closed). Reported by Andreas Metzler
3842 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
3843 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2807>.
3845 ** Don't use gnulib headers when building C++ library.
3846 Fixes builds under Windows.
3848 ** Make umask a requirement.
3849 We don't know of any system that lacks it, even GNU CoreUtils use it
3852 ** Update gnulib files.
3853 Fixes a problem where it pulled in a replacement for memcmp under
3854 MinGW, which caused the C++ example to fail to build.
3856 ** API and ABI modifications:
3857 No changes since last version.
3859 * Version 2.3.10 (released 2008-05-19)
3861 ** Added wide wildcard hostname matching.
3862 Tiny patch by Jean-Philippe Garcia Ballester.
3864 ** Fix three security vulnerabilities. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1]
3865 Thanks to CERT-FI for finding the bugs and providing detailed reports,
3866 which allowed the bugs to be reproduced and fixed easily. Patches
3867 developed by Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. Any updates
3868 with more details about these vulnerabilities will be added to
3869 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
3871 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1]
3872 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending invalid server name.
3873 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
3874 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
3875 cause gnutls to store more session resumption data than what was
3876 allocated for, thus overwriting unallocated memory.
3878 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2]
3879 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending repeated client hellos.
3880 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
3881 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
3882 triggers a null-pointer dereference.
3884 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3]
3885 *** libgnutls: Fix crash in cipher padding decoding for invalid record lengths.
3886 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
3887 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
3888 cause gnutls to read memory beyond the end of the received record.
3890 ** libgnutlsxx: Updated API according to patches from Eduardo
3891 Villanueva Che (discussion at
3892 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2007-02/msg00017.html>)
3894 ** Use umask to restrict permissions to owner before creating a file.
3896 ** API and ABI modifications:
3897 No changes since last version.
3899 * Version 2.3.9 (released 2008-05-16)
3901 ** libgnutls: Fix build failures if SRP/OpenPGP is disabled.
3902 Based on report and tiny patches from
3903 <jared.jennings.ctr@eglin.af.mil>, see
3904 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106342>.
3906 ** libgnutls: Translation fixes.
3908 ** gnutls-cli: Fix so that PSK authentication works.
3909 Also improve manual to give example for gnutls-cli PSK authentication.
3911 ** certtool: Encrypting a private key now require a confirmed password.
3912 Before './certtool -k -8' would merely ask for a password once.
3913 Reported by Daniel 'NebuchadnezzaR' Dehennin
3914 <nebuchadnezzar@asgardr.info> see
3915 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364287>.
3917 ** certtool: When writing private keys to files, change permissions of file.
3918 Now the file which the private key is saved to is chmod'ed 0600.
3919 Reported by martin f krafft <madduck@debian.org> see
3920 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373169>.
3922 ** guile: Fix -fgnu89-inline test.
3924 ** Removed --enable-profile-mode.
3925 The code linked gnutls with the libfc project (Function Check) which
3926 appears to have been stalled since around 2002.
3928 ** Clean up header file checks by ./configure.
3930 ** Update of gnulib files.
3932 ** API and ABI modifications:
3933 No changes since last version.
3935 * Version 2.3.8 (released 2008-04-29)
3937 ** libgnutls: Increase default handshake packet size limit to 48kb.
3938 The old limit was 16kb and some servers send huge list of trusted CAs,
3939 thus running into the limit. FYI, applications can further increase
3940 this limit using gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length. Thanks to
3941 Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de> and "Marc F. Clemente"
3942 <marc@mclemente.net> for reporting and providing test servers.
3944 ** libgnutls: Add new error code: GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE
3945 Returned when the handshake data size is too large. Before
3946 GNUTLS_E_MEMORY_ERROR was used, which could be confused with other
3949 ** libgnutls: Hide definitions in crypto.h.
3950 We have decided that the APIs defined in crypto.h are not stable
3951 enough for v2.4, so don't use any of those functions.
3953 ** gnutls-cli: exit when hostname doesn't match certificate.
3954 Use --insecure to avoid hostname comparison.
3956 ** certtool: --inder and --outder replaced by --inraw and --outraw.
3957 The reason is to align terminology with OpenPGP, which doesn't use
3958 DER. The old parameters will continue to work for some time.
3960 ** doc: Add section 'Index of new symbols in 2.4.0' to the GTK-DOC manual.
3962 ** doc: Many cosmetic fixes, to silence (most) gtk-doc warnings.
3964 ** Mingw32: Revert libgcrypt vasprintf work-around added in last release.
3965 Use libgcrypt 1.4.1 or later when building on MinGW32, it removes the
3966 vasprintf symbol from the libgcrypt library which caused problems.
3968 ** Update of gnulib files.
3970 ** tests: New self-test of crypto.h RNG code tests/crypto_rng.
3972 ** API and ABI modifications:
3973 GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE: ADDED.
3975 * Version 2.3.7 (released 2008-04-21)
3977 ** opencdk now properly sets the key usage bits into openpgp keys.
3979 ** gnutls-cli: Fix crash on TLS handshake failures.
3980 Reported by "Marc F. Clemente" <marc@mclemente.net> in Debian BTS #466477.
3981 This is similar to <http://bugs.debian.org/429183>.
3983 ** certtool: with --generate-request and newly generated keys, print the key.
3985 ** Build fixes for MinGW.
3986 Missing rpl_fseeko symbol in lib/opencdk/. Better checks for linking
3987 with -lws2_32 when needed. Use ASCII only isprint() when printing
3988 X.509 certificate information, to avoid non-ASCII but printable
3989 characters. Thanks to Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> for
3992 ** Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.4.
3994 ** API and ABI modifications:
3995 No changes since last version.
3997 * Version 2.3.6 (released 2008-04-17)
3999 ** Make gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 set certificate request version if not set.
4000 ** Improve documentation for gnutls_x509_crq_sign2.
4001 Based on report from "John Brooks" <aspecialj@gmail.com> in
4002 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1154>.
4004 ** tests/pathlen: run diff without parameters to improve portability.
4005 Based on HPUX build hints in
4006 <http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Gnu/gnutls-2.3.4/gnutls-2.3.4-src-11.11.tar.gz+gnutls-2.3.4/HPUX.Install+text>.
4008 ** Don't use %e specifier with strftime, it doesn't work under Windows.
4009 Reported by Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> in
4010 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1170>.
4012 ** Remove all uses of gnutls_alloca/gnutls_afree.
4013 Use normal gnutls_malloc instead. One reason is increased portability
4014 to Windows, the other is that several of the uses may be unsafe
4015 because the size of data allocated could be large. Reported by
4016 Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> in
4017 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1170>.
4019 ** Build Guile code with -fgnu89-inline only when supported.
4020 Reported by Kris Karas <ktk@enterprise.bidmc.harvard.edu> in
4021 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2708>.
4023 ** Several GTK-DOC related fixes.
4025 ** Clean up OpenCDK related code.
4026 GnuTLS now requires its internal OpenCDK code rather than the external
4027 GPL library OpenCDK. Unfortunately, we don't have resources to
4028 maintain an external library (help welcome).
4030 ** API and ABI modifications:
4031 No changes since last version.
4033 * Version 2.3.5 (released 2008-04-14)
4035 ** Build fix for MinGW and --disable-shared.
4036 Reported by Massimo Gaspari <massimo.gaspari@alice.it> in
4037 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/1145>.
4039 ** Document how to generate CRLs.
4040 Suggested by "Rainer Gerhards" <rgerhards@gmail.com>.
4042 ** Documented the --priority option to gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
4044 ** Several minor fixes in the OpenPGP interface.
4045 Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor.
4047 ** Fix fopen file descriptor leak in PSK server code.
4048 Thanks to Laurence Withers <l@lwithers.me.uk>, see
4049 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-04/msg00002.html>.
4051 ** Translations files not stored directly in git to avoid merge conflicts.
4053 ** New APIs to let applications replace the RNG used.
4054 Update all RNG callers in the code to use the new interface.
4056 ** Guile code now built with -fgnu89-inline to fix inline semantic problem.
4058 ** Update gnulib files.
4060 ** API and ABI modifications:
4061 gnutls_crypto_rnd_register: ADDED
4062 gnutls_rnd_level_t: ADDED
4063 GNUTLS_RND_KEY: ADDED, gnutls_rnd_level_t member
4064 GNUTLS_RND_RANDOM: ADDED, gnutls_rnd_level_t member
4065 GNUTLS_RND_NONCE: ADDED, gnutls_rnd_level_t member
4066 gnutls_crypto_rnd_st: ADDED
4067 GNUTLS_DIG_SHA224: ADDED
4068 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA224: ADDED
4069 gnutls_openpgp_crt_get_auth_subkey: MODIFIED
4071 * Version 2.3.4 (released 2008-03-19)
4073 ** Finish renaming of gnutls_certificate_export_x509_cas etc.
4074 They weren't renamed in the public header file.
4076 ** Added functions to register a cipher/mac/digest. This allows to
4077 override the included ones.
4079 ** Fix a bunch of compiler warnings.
4081 ** API and ABI modifications:
4082 gnutls_crypto_cipher_st: ADDED
4083 gnutls_crypto_mac_st: ADDED
4084 gnutls_crypto_digest_st: ADDED
4085 gnutls_crypto_cipher_register: ADDED
4086 gnutls_crypto_mac_register: ADDED
4087 gnutls_crypto_digest_register: ADDED
4088 GNUTLS_E_CRYPTO_ALREADY_REGISTERED: ADDED
4090 * Version 2.3.3 (released 2008-03-10)
4092 ** Fix build failure in libextra/gnutls_extra.c that needed opencdk.h.
4093 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org>.
4095 ** No longer compiled using -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE.
4096 We could not find any modern justification for enabling these flags by
4097 default. If you know of some platform that needs one of the flags to
4098 work properly, please let us know. (Actually introduced in v2.3.0 but
4099 not documented until now.)
4101 ** Importing many CA certificates are now considerably faster.
4102 This affect gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_mem,
4103 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust, and
4104 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file. The complexity was reduced
4105 from O(2*n^2) to O(n). When adding 206 files containing 408
4106 certificates, using gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file, the time
4107 dropped from 40 seconds to 0.3 seconds. Thanks to Edgar Fuß for code
4108 to trigger the problem. See also
4109 <http://blog.josefsson.org/2008/02/27/real-world-performance-tuning-with-callgrind/>.
4111 ** Clarify documentation for gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alternative_name
4112 ** to be explicit that it takes zero terminated data.
4114 ** gnutls-cli --print-cert now print PKCS#3 format Diffie-Hellman parameters.
4116 ** Documentation fixes for the GTK-DOC manual.
4118 ** Fix compilation error related to __FUNCTION__ on some systems.
4119 Reported by Tim Mooney, see
4120 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106267>.
4122 ** Updated translations.
4124 ** Update gnulib files.
4126 ** API and ABI modifications:
4127 gnutls_hex2bin: MODIFIED, uses size_t instead of int for string length,
4128 and char* instead of void* for output buffer.

4234 GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE: ADDED, same as old GNUTLS_X509_CRT_ONELINE.
4235 GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_UNSIGNED_FULL: ADDED, same as
4236 old GNUTLS_X509_CRT_UNSIGNED_FULL.
4238 * Version 2.3.0 (released 2008-01-08)
4240 ** LZO compression is now disabled by default.
4241 The reason is that LZO compression is not standardized in TLS. If you
4242 wish to experiment with it, you will have to supply --with-lzo when
4243 invoking ./configure. The internal copy of minilzo is no longer
4244 included with GnuTLS, so you will need to install liblzo or liblzo2 on
4245 your system to have --with-lzo to be effective.
4247 ** More than one server name field is now sent to the server properly.
4248 Thanks to mark.phillips@virgin.net.
4250 ** Fixes the post_client_hello_function(). The extensions are now parsed
4251 in a callback friendly way.
4253 ** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
4255 ** Updated translations.
4257 ** Update gnulib files.
4259 ** API and ABI modifications:
4260 No changes since last version.
4262 * Version 2.2.5 (released 2008-05-19)
4264 ** Fix flaw in fix for GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
4265 The flaw would result in incorrectly terminated sessions with the
4266 error "Decryption has failed" when the server sends a small packet
4267 (typically when the session is closed). Reported by Andreas Metzler
4268 <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org> in
4269 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2807>.
4271 ** API and ABI modifications:
4272 No changes since last version.
4274 * Version 2.2.4 (released 2008-05-19)
4276 ** Fix three security vulnerabilities. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1]
4277 Thanks to CERT-FI for finding the bugs and providing detailed reports,
4278 which allowed the bugs to be reproduced and fixed easily. Patches
4279 developed by Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. Any updates
4280 with more details about these vulnerabilities will be added to
4281 <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html>
4283 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1]
4284 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending invalid server name.
4285 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
4286 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
4287 cause gnutls to store more session resumption data than what was
4288 allocated for, thus overwriting unallocated memory.
4290 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2]
4291 *** libgnutls: Fix crash when sending repeated client hellos.
4292 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
4293 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
4294 triggers a null-pointer dereference.
4296 *** [GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3]
4297 *** libgnutls: Fix crash in cipher padding decoding for invalid record lengths.
4298 The crash can be triggered remotely before authentication, which can
4299 lead to a Daniel of Service attack to disable the server. The bug
4300 cause gnutls to read memory beyond the end of the received record.
4302 ** API and ABI modifications:
4303 No changes since last version.
4305 * Version 2.2.3 (released 2008-05-06)
4307 ** Increase default handshake packet size limit to 48kb.
4308 The old limit was 16kb and some servers send huge list of trusted CAs,
4309 thus running into the limit. FYI, applications can further increase
4310 this limit using gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length. Thanks to
4311 Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de> and "Marc F. Clemente"
4312 <marc@mclemente.net> for reporting and providing test servers.
4314 ** Fix compilation error related to __FUNCTION__ on some systems.
4315 Reported by Tim Mooney, see
4316 <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106267>.
4318 ** Documented the --priority option to gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
4320 ** Fix fopen file descriptor leak in PSK server code.
4321 Thanks to Laurence Withers <l@lwithers.me.uk>, see
4322 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-04/msg00002.html>.
4324 ** Build Guile code with -fgnu89-inline only when supported.
4325 Reported by Kris Karas <ktk@enterprise.bidmc.harvard.edu> in
4326 <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2708>.
4328 ** Make Camellia encryption work.
4329 Reported by Yoshisato YANAGISAWA <yanagisawa@csg.is.titech.ac.jp> in
4330 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2746>.
4332 ** API and ABI modifications:
4333 No changes since last version.
4335 * Version 2.2.2 (released 2008-02-21)
4337 ** Cipher priority string handling now handle strings that starts with NULL.
4338 Thanks to Laurence Withers <l@lwithers.me.uk>.
4340 ** Corrected memory leaks in session resuming and DHE ciphersuites. Reported
4343 ** Increased the default certificate verification chain limits and allowed
4344 for checks without limitation.
4346 ** Corrected the behaviour of gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name()
4347 and gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name() to not null terminate binary
4348 strings and return the proper size.
4350 ** API and ABI modifications:
4351 No changes since last version.
4353 * Version 2.2.1 (released 2008-01-17)
4355 ** Prevent linking libextra against previously installed libgnutls.
4356 Tiny patch from "Alon Bar-Lev" <alon.barlev@gmail.com>, see
4357 <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202269>.
4359 ** Fixes the post_client_hello_function(). The extensions are now parsed
4360 in a callback friendly way.
4362 ** Fix for certificate selection in servers with certificate callbacks.
4364 ** API and ABI modifications:
4365 No changes since last version.
4367 * Version 2.2.0 (released 2007-12-14)
4369 ** Update internal copy of libtasn1 to version 1.2.
4371 ** Certtool --verify-chain now handle inputs larger than 64kb.
4372 This fixes the self-test "rsa-md5-collision" under MinGW+Wine with
4373 recent versions of libgcrypt. The problem was that Wine with the
4374 libgcrypt RNG generates huge amounts of debugging output.
4376 ** Translation updates.
4377 Added Dutch translation. Updated Polish and Swedish translation.
4379 ** Major changes compared to the v2.0 branch:
4381 *** SRP support aligned with newly published RFC 5054.
4383 *** OpenPGP support aligned with newly published RFC 5081.
4385 *** Support for DSA2 keys.
4387 *** Support for Camellia cipher.
4389 *** Support for Opaque PRF Input extension.
4391 *** PKCS#8 parser now handle DSA keys.
4393 *** Change from GPLv2 to GPLv3 for command-line tools, libgnutls-extra, etc.
4394 Notice that liblzo2 2.02 is licensed under GPLv2 only. Earlier
4395 versions, such as 2.01 which is included with GnuTLS, is available
4396 under GPLv2 or later. If this incompatibility causes problems, we
4397 recommend you to disable LZO using --without-lzo. LZO compression is
4398 not a standard TLS compression algorithm, so the impact should be
4401 *** Functions for disabling record protocol padding.
4402 Works around bugs on Nokia/Ericsson phones.
4404 *** New functions gnutls_priority_set() for setting cipher priorities easily.
4405 Priorities like "COMPAT" also enables other work arounds, such as
4408 *** Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
4410 ** Backwards incompatible API/ABI changes in GnuTLS 2.2
4411 To adapt to changes in the TLS extension specifications for OpenPGP
4412 and SRP, the GnuTLS API had to be modified. This means breaking the
4413 API and ABI backwards compatibility. That is something we try to
4414 avoid unless it is necessary. We decided to also remove the already
4415 deprecated stub functions for X.509 to XML conversion and TLS
4416 authorization (see below) when we had the opportunity.
4418 Generally, most applications does not need to be modified. Just
4419 re-compile them against the latest GnuTLS release, and it should work
4422 Applications that use the OpenPGP or SRP features needs to be
4423 modified. Below is a list of the modified APIs and discussion of what
4424 the minimal things you need to modify in your application to make it
4425 work with GnuTLS 2.2.
4427 Note that GnuTLS 2.2 also introduces new APIs -- such as
4428 gnutls_set_priority() that is superior to
4429 gnutls_set_default_priority() -- that you may want to start using.
4430 However, using those new APIs is not required to use GnuTLS 2.2 since
4431 the old functions continue are still supported. This text only
4432 discuss what you minimally have to modify.
4434 *** XML related changes
4435 The function `gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml' has been removed. It has been
4436 deprecated and only returned an error code since GnuTLS version
4437 1.2.11. Nobody has complained, so users doesn't seem to miss the
4438 functionality. We don't know of any other library to convert X.509
4439 certificates into XML format, but we decided (long ago) that GnuTLS
4440 isn't the right place for this kind of functionality. If you want
4441 help to find some other library to use here, please explain and
4442 discuss your use case on help-gnutls@gnu.org.
4444 *** TLS Authorization related changes
4445 Everything related to TLS authorizations have been removed, they were
4446 only stub functions that returned an error code:
4448 GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_AUTHZ_DATA
4449 gnutls_authz_data_format_type_t
4450 gnutls_authz_recv_callback_func
4451 gnutls_authz_send_callback_func
4453 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert
4454 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion
4455 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert_url
4456 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion_url
4458 *** SRP related changes
4459 The callback gnutls_srp_client_credentials_function has a new
4460 prototype, and its semantic has changed. You need to rewrite the
4461 callback, see the updated function documentation and SRP example code
4462 (doc/examples/ex-client-srp.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-srp.c) for more
4465 The alert codes GNUTLS_A_MISSING_SRP_USERNAME and
4466 GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_SRP_USERNAME are no longer used by the SRP
4467 specification, instead the GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY alert is
4468 used. There are #define's to map the old names to the new. You may
4469 run into problems if you have a switch-case with cases for both SRP
4470 alerts, since they are now mapped to the same value. The solution is
4471 to drop the SRP alerts from such switch cases, as they are now
4472 deprecated in favor of GNUTLS_A_UNKNOWN_PSK_IDENTITY.
4474 *** OpenPGP related changes
4475 The function `gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyserver' have been
4476 removed. There is no replacement functionality inside GnuTLS. If you
4477 need keyserver functionality, consider using the GnuPG tools.
4479 All functions, types, and error codes related to OpenPGP trustdb
4480 format have been removed. The trustdb format is a non-standard
4481 GnuPG-specific format, and we recommend you to use key rings instead.
4482 The following have been removed:
4484 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_trustdb
4485 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_init
4486 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_deinit
4487 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_import
4488 gnutls_openpgp_key_verify_trustdb
4489 gnutls_openpgp_trustdb_t
4490 GNUTLS_E_OPENPGP_TRUSTDB_VERSION_UNSUPPORTED
4492 The following functions has an added parameter of the (new) type
4493 `gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t'. The type specify the format of the data
4494 (binary or base64). The functions are:
4495 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_file
4496 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_mem
4497 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_mem
4498 gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_keyring_file
4500 To improve terminology and align with the X.509 interface, some
4501 functions have been renamed. Compatibility mappings exists. The old
4502 and new names of the affected functions and types are:
4505 gnutls_openpgp_key_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_t
4506 gnutls_openpgp_key_fmt_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_fmt_t
4507 gnutls_openpgp_key_status_t gnutls_openpgp_crt_status_t
4508 GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT
4509 GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEY_FINGERPRINT GNUTLS_OPENPGP_CERT_FINGERPRINT
4510 gnutls_openpgp_key_init gnutls_openpgp_crt_init

4525 ** API and ABI modifications:
4526 No changes since last version.
4528 * Version 2.1.8 (released 2007-12-10)
4530 ** The GPL version has been changed from version 2 to version 3.
4531 This affects the self-tests, command-line tools, the libgnutls-extra
4532 library, the relevant guile parts, and the build environment.
4534 ** Added gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name2().
4536 ** Corrected a segfault when setting an empty gnutls_priority_t
4537 at gnutls_priority_set().

4547 ** PKCS #8 parser can now encode/decode DSA keys.
4549 ** Updated gnutls_set_default_priority2() now renamed to
4550 gnutls_priority_set() and gnutls_priority_set_direct() which
4551 accept a string to indicate preferences of ciphersuite parameters.
4553 ** gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv now have a --priority option to set
4554 the priority string.
4556 ** The gnutls_*_convert_priority() functions were deprecated by
4557 the gnutls_priority_set() and gnutls_priority_set_direct().
4559 ** Internal copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.6.

4573 gnutls_set_default_priority: UNDEPRECATED
4574 gnutls_set_default_priority_export: UNDEPRECATED
4576 ** Undocumented API and ABI modifications earlier in the 2.1.x series:

4601 ** gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_* can now read PKCS #8 unencrypted
4604 ** Fixed GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM vs GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM.
4605 During the 2.1.x series the GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM error code
4606 was renamed to GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM, unfortunately without being
4607 documented. This caused some problems (e.g., debian #450854). To
4608 avoid backwards compatibility problems, this release revert this
4609 change, so that GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_HASH_ALGORITHM works just like it has
4610 done in GnuTLS 2.0.x and earlier, and add a new error code
4611 GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM.

4630 ** API and ABI modifications:
4631 No changes since last version.
4633 * Version 2.1.4 (released 2007-10-27)
4635 ** Added the --v1 option to certtool, to allow generating X.509
4636 version 1 certificates.
4638 ** certtool: Add option --disable-quick-random to enable the old behaviour
4639 of using /dev/random to generate keys.
4641 ** Added priority functions that accept strings.
4643 ** Added gnutls_set_default_priority2() which accepts a flag to indicate
4644 priorities preferences.
4646 ** Added gnutls_record_disable_padding() to allow servers talking to
4647 buggy clients that complain if the TLS 1.0 record protocol padding is
4650 ** Introduced gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode() to allow enabling
4651 all supported compatibility options (like disabling padding).
4653 ** The gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_* functions were modified to include
4654 the format. This makes the interface consistent with the x509 functions.

4699 importance for the Internet community. After deliberation we have

4722 * Version 2.1.2 (released 2007-10-14)
4724 ** Removed all the trustdb code from openpgp authentication.
4725 We now use only the well-specified keyrings.
4727 ** The 256 bit ciphers are not enabled in the default priorities.

4764 * Version 2.1.1 (released 2007-09-24)
4766 ** Added support for Camellia cipher, thanks to Yoshisato YANAGISAWA.
4767 Camellia is only enabled in GnuTLS if the installed libgcrypt has been
4768 compiled with Camellia support. See the libgcrypt documentation on
4769 how to enable it. Unconditionally disable it using the configure
4770 option --disable-camellia. Fixes #1.

4779 ** Support for draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt.
4780 The support is disabled by default. Since no value has been allocated
4781 by the IANA for this extension yet, you will need to provide one
4782 yourself by invoking './configure --enable-opaque-prf-input=42'.

4819 * Version 2.0.2 (released 2007-10-17)
4821 ** TLS authorization support removed.
4822 This technique may be patented in the future, and it is not of crucial
4823 importance for the Internet community. After deliberation we have
4824 concluded that the best thing we can do in this situation is to
4825 encourage society not to adopt this technique. We have decided to
4826 lead the way with our own actions.
4828 ** certtool: Fixed data corruption when using --outder.
4830 ** Fix configure-time Guile detection.
4832 ** API and ABI modifications:
4833 GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_USER_MAPPING_DATA: ADDED. To avoid that the
4834 gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t enum type becomes empty.
4836 * Version 2.0.1 (released 2007-09-20)
4838 ** New directory doc/credentials/ with test credentials.
4839 This collects the test credentials from the web page and from src/.
4840 The script gnutls-http-serv has also been moved to that directory.
4842 ** Update SRP extension type and cipher suite with official IANA values.
4843 This breaks backwards compatibility with SRP in older versions of
4844 GnuTLS, but this is intentional to speed up the adoption of the
4845 official values. The old values we used were incorrect.
4847 ** Guile: Fix `x509-certificate-dn-oid'
4849 ** API and ABI modifications:
4850 No changes since last version.
4852 * Version 2.0.0 (released 2007-09-04)
4854 ** Included copy of Libtasn1 upgraded to version 1.1.
4856 ** Disable building of some examples if anonymous ciphers are disabled.
4858 ** Don't build examples for disabled features.
4860 ** API and ABI modifications:
4861 No changes since last version.
4863 * Version 1.7.19 (released 2007-08-27)
4865 ** Fix gnutls_error_is_fatal so that positive "errors" are non-critical.
4866 This solves connection problems in mutt, see
4867 <http://bugs.debian.org/439640>.
4869 ** Update gnulib files.
4870 In particular, the getpass module -- with its dependencies on getline,
4871 getdelim, fseeko etc -- where moved from the lgl/ (used by the core
4872 library) directory to the gl/ directory (only used by the command line
4873 tools). The reason is that getpass is now only used by the
4874 command-line tools, and reducing the number of gnulib modules linked
4875 to the core library helps portability and reduces size.
4879 ** Disable building of PGP examples if PGP is disabled.
4881 ** Included copy of OpenCDK upgraded to version 0.6.4.
4883 ** API and ABI modifications:
4884 No changes since last version.
4886 * Version 1.7.18 (released 2007-08-16)
4888 ** Install images for the info manual.
4889 This has a side effect of renaming the images. See
4890 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.texinfo.bugs/3533> for
4891 discussions on the approach chosen.
4893 ** Fix pointer mix to variables of different size.
4894 Patch extracted from
4895 <http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/gnutls/gnutls-1.6.3-incompat-pointers.patch?rev=1.1&view=auto>.
4897 ** Fix warnings during build.
4898 Thanks to Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
4900 ** API and ABI modifications:
4901 No changes since last version.
4903 * Version 1.7.17 (released 2007-08-15)
4905 ** New functions to perform external signing.
4906 Set the signing callback function (of the gnutls_sign_func prototype)
4907 using the gnutls_sign_callback_set function. In the callback, you may
4908 find the new functions gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash and
4909 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash useful. A new function
4910 gnutls_sign_callback_get is also added, to retrieve the function
4911 pointer. Thanks to "Alon Bar-Lev" <alon.barlev@gmail.com> for
4912 comments and testing.
4914 ** New self test of client and server authenticated X.509 TLS sessions.
4915 See tests/x509self.c and tests/x509signself.c. The latter also tests
4916 the new external signing callback interface.
4918 ** New errors GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN..GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX.
4919 These two actually describe the outer limits of a range of error codes
4920 reserved to the application. All of the errors are treated as fatal
4921 by the library (it has to since it doesn't know the semantics of the
4922 error codes). This can be useful in callbacks, to signal some
4923 application-specific error condition, which will usually eventually
4924 cause some gnutls API to return the same error code as the callback,
4925 which then can be inspected by the application. Note that error codes
4928 ** gnutls_set_default_priority now disable TLS 1.2 by default.
4929 The RFC is not released yet, and we're approaching a major release so
4930 let's not enable it just yet.
4932 ** Fix namespace so that gnutls_*_t is used consistently.
4933 Before, many places in the GnuTLS code used the old deprecated type
4934 names without the '_t' suffix.
4936 ** Build fixes for Guile code.
4937 Patch from Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
4939 ** More documentation fixes.
4940 In particular, the section headings were modified for casing. By
4941 Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
4943 ** Updated Polish and Swedish translations.
4944 Thanks to Jakub Bogusz <qboosh@pld-linux.org> and Daniel Nylander
4945 <po@danielnylander.se>.
4947 ** API and ABI modifications:
4948 gnutls_sign_func: ADD, new type for sign callback.
4949 gnutls_sign_callback_set: ADD, new function to set sign callback.
4950 gnutls_sign_callback_get: ADD, new function to retrieve sign callback.
4951 gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash,
4952 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash: ADD, new functions useful in sign callback.
4953 GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN,
4954 GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX: ADD, new CPP #defines for error codes.
4956 * Version 1.7.16 (released 2007-08-07)
4958 ** Fix sanity checks and return values in certificate selection.
4959 In some cases, GnuTLS omitted to report suitable error codes when no
4960 suitable certificate was found.
4962 ** Fix gnutls-cli starttls EOF on Mac OS X.
4963 Thanks to Hal Eden <n.mavrogiannopoulos@gmail.com>.
4965 ** Documentation fixes.
4966 In particular, the section headings were modified for casing. By
4967 Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.

4971 ** API and ABI modifications:
4972 No changes since last version.
4974 * Version 1.7.15 (released 2007-07-02)
4976 ** Fix self-tests key-id under mingw32.
4978 ** Test that the Guile header files are recent enough to work.
4979 Before we just tested that the command line tool 'guile' was recent
4980 enough, which may not be sufficient if you still have an old
4981 libguile.h header installed.
4983 ** Guile bindings are now installed under $prefix by default.
4984 Use --without-guile-site-dir to install it under $pkgdatadir/site/
4985 where $pkgdatadir is as returned by "guile-config info pkgdatadir".
4986 Use --with-guile-site-dir=/your/own/path to specify the path manually.
4987 The default, --with-guile-site-dir, will install the Guile bindings
4988 under $datadir/guile/site. There is a new section 'Guile
4989 Preparations' in the manual that discuss these issues.
4991 ** Fix run-time library path ordering in linking the Guile bindings.
4993 ** Improved manual on downloading, installing, getting help, bug reports etc.
4994 Suggested by Ludovic Courtès <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>.
4996 ** Add Malay message translations.

5046 ** Guile bindings for GnuTLS have been included.
5047 Contributed by Ludovic Courtès <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>. There is a
5048 new chapter 'Guile Bindings' in the manual.

5062 self-test tests/parse_ca.c to test regressions.
5064 ** Fix build failures related to missing images in manual.

5074 ** Include opencdk.h in the release.
5075 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org>.
5077 ** API and ABI modifications:
5078 No changes since last version.
5080 * Version 1.7.10 (released 2007-05-25)
5082 ** New API functions to extract DER encoded X.509 Subject/Issuer DN.
5083 Suggested by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>.
5085 ** Update of gnulib files.
5087 ** GnuTLS is now developed in GIT instead of CVS.
5088 See <http://repo.or.cz/w/gnutls.git> for a public repository.
5090 ** API and ABI modifications:
5091 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn: ADD.
5092 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_dn: ADD.
5094 * Version 1.7.9 (released 2007-05-12)
5096 ** X.509 certificates are preferred over OpenPGP keys.
5097 This is a change in the semantics of gnutls_set_default_priority.
5099 ** The included copy of OpenCDK has been updated to 0.6.1.
5100 There has been some API changes in OpenCDK, and the GnuTLS layer have
5101 been modified as well. Note that while there are API/ABI incompatible
5102 changes in OpenCDK, this does not influence GnuTLS's API/ABI because
5103 its API/ABI have not changed. From this version on, GnuTLS requires
5104 OpenCDK 0.6.0 or later.
5106 ** Fix build failure caused by missing doc/gnutls-logo.pdf.
5108 ** Change certtool's default serial number from 0 to a time-based value.
5110 ** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields.
5111 Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly
5112 different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification
5113 failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other
5114 implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs
5115 you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear
5116 to be consistent with other widely used implementations.
5118 ** Fix mem leaks in gnutls_x509_crt_print.
5120 ** API and ABI modifications:
5121 No changes since last version.
5123 * Version 1.7.8 (released 2007-04-16)
5125 ** Added examples for the authorization extension.
5126 See doc/examples/ex-client-authz.c and doc/examples/ex-serv-authz.c.
5128 ** The examples only use gnutls_set_default_priority().
5129 The exception is when DH_ANON is needed.
5131 ** Improve gnutls_set_default_priority() priorities.
5132 The new approach is for it to try and negotiate all secure and
5133 standard mechanisms available. Currently, DH_ANON ciphersuites and
5134 LZO compressions are not enabled by default, because they are,
5135 respectively, insecure and non-standardized. Note that TLS 1.2 will
5136 not be enabled by default in non-experimental release until it has
5137 been approved by the IETF.
5139 ** gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv now uses the library's default priorities.
5140 This means that to get DH_ANON and LZO compression, you'll need to
5141 specify that manually using '--kx anon' or '--comp lzo'.
5143 ** Minor fixes to the human display format of X.509 certificates.
5145 ** New APIs to extract Distinguished Name's from X.509 certificates.
5146 Based on patch from Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>.
5148 ** Improved library searching for opencdk.
5149 It will now add the appropriate -R or -Wl,-rpath flags as necessary.
5150 The deprecated opencdk.m4 is no longer used.
5152 ** New APIs to list supported algorithms in the library.
5153 The APIs are gnutls_cipher_list, gnutls_mac_list,
5154 gnutls_compression_list, gnutls_protocol_list,
5155 gnutls_certificate_type_list, gnutls_kx_list, and
5156 gnutls_cipher_suite_info. Suggested by Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>.
5158 ** The gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_id API now handle non-RSA/DSA keys.
5160 ** New configure option --disable-tls-authorization to disable tls-authz.
5162 ** Fix prototype for `gnutls_psk_set_client_credentials'.
5163 The last parameter was renamed from 'flags' to 'format' and the type
5164 changed from 'unsigned int' to 'gnutls_psk_key_flags' (an enum type),
5165 which shouldn't cause any ABI changes. Reported by ludo@chbouib.org
5168 ** Fix allocation in gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key.
5169 Tiny patch from ludo@chbouib.org (Ludovic Courtès).
5171 ** API and ABI modifications:
5172 gnutls_x509_dn_t: ADD.
5173 gnutls_x509_ava_st: ADD.
5174 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject,
5175 gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer: ADD.
5176 gnutls_x509_dn_get_rdn_ava: ADD.
5177 gnutls_cipher_list: ADD.
5178 gnutls_mac_list: ADD.
5179 gnutls_compression_list: ADD.
5180 gnutls_protocol_list: ADD.
5181 gnutls_certificate_type_list: ADD.
5182 gnutls_kx_list: ADD.
5183 gnutls_cipher_suite_info: ADD.
5185 * Version 1.7.7 (released 2007-02-22)
5187 ** Support for supplemental handshake messages and authorization data.
5188 Supplemental data is described in RFC 4680 and the authorization
5189 extensions in draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.
5191 ** Support for authorization data in gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
5192 New parameters --authz-x509-attr-cert and --authz-saml-assertion.
5194 ** Fix for gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname.
5195 Before it would have reported that the certificate matched a hostname
5196 when it did not have any dNSName or any CN field. Report and tiny
5197 patch from "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@redhat.com>.
5199 ** New self test for RFC 2818 comparison in gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname.
5200 Tests regressions of the bug, and several other features.
5202 ** GnuTLS now matches URI's with IP Addresses against iPAddress SAN's.
5203 Before there were no support for iPAddress SAN's during comparison.
5205 ** New API to print information about CRL's.
5206 The function is gnutls_x509_crl_print.
5208 ** New API to extract signature value from CRL's.
5209 The function is gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature.
5211 ** Support for directoryName Subject Alternative Name's.
5212 The gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name function returns the DN as a
5213 string in the provided buffer.
5215 ** Internal improvements to certtool.
5216 It uses gnutls_x509_crl_print to print CRL information. It uses some
5217 more gnulib modules to simplify error handling.
5219 ** API and ABI modifications:
5220 GNUTLS_HANDSHAKE_SUPPLEMENTAL: ADD, new gnutls_handshake_description_t element.
5221 gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t: ADD.
5222 gnutls_authz_data_format_type_t: ADD.
5223 gnutls_supplemental_get_name: ADD.
5224 gnutls_authz_recv_callback_func,
5225 gnutls_authz_send_callback_func: ADD, callback prototypes.
5226 gnutls_authz_enable: ADD.
5227 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert,
5228 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion,
5229 gnutls_authz_send_x509_attr_cert_url,
5230 gnutls_authz_send_saml_assertion_url: ADD.
5231 GNUTLS_SAN_DN: ADD, new gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t element.
5232 gnutls_x509_crl_print: ADD.
5233 gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature: ADD.
5235 * Version 1.7.6 (released 2007-02-12)
5237 ** Support for 'otherName' Subject Alternative Names.
5238 The existing API gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name may now return
5239 the new type GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME together with the otherName value.
5240 To find out the otherName OID (necessary for proper parsing of the
5241 value), use the new API gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid.
5242 For known OIDs, gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid will
5243 return "virtual" SAN values, e.g., GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP to
5244 simplify OID matching. Suggested by Matthias Wimmer <m@tthias.eu>.
5246 ** Certtool can print otherName SAN values for certificates.
5247 For known otherName OIDs (currently only id-on-xmppAddr as defined by
5248 RFC 3920), it will also print the name.
5250 ** Fix TLS 1.2 RSA signing in servers.
5251 Before it used the old-style MD5+SHA1 signature, but the TLS
5252 signatures should be normal PKCS#1 signatures. FYI, we use and
5253 require that DigestInfo parameters are present and NULL for TLS 1.2.
5255 ** Add APIs to access X.509 extensions sequentially.
5256 The existing APIs gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_oid() and
5257 gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_by_oid() does not permit callers to
5258 inspect the extensions in the order defined by the certificate.
5260 ** Add API to extract signature value from X.509 certificates.
5261 The function is gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature.
5263 ** Fix crash when generating proxy certificates in batch mode.
5264 If you don't specify a proxy policy in batch mode, it will use
5267 ** Add API to print information about X.509 certificates.
5268 The function is gnutls_x509_crt_print.
5270 ** Certtool uses the new API gnutls_x509_crt_print to print certificate info.
5271 One consequence of this is that the output syntax has changed
5272 slightly. Some more fields are printed.
5276 ** API and ABI modifications:
5277 gnutls_x509_crt_print: ADD
5278 gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t: ADD, new enum.
5279 gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature: ADD.
5280 gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_data: ADD.
5281 gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_info: ADD.
5282 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid: ADD.
5283 GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME: ADD, new gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t element.
5284 GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP: ADD, new gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t element.
5286 * Version 1.7.5 (released 2007-02-06)
5288 ** Servers won't negotiate SRP RSA/DSS cipher suites if no SRP credential
5291 ** Default behaviour for the gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv tools improved.
5293 ** Fix --list output for gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv.
5294 Mention TLS1.2, SHA512 etc.
5296 ** Manual contains new section on setting up a test HTTP server.
5297 A server set up following those descriptions are available online via
5298 <http://www.gnutls.org/server.html>.
5300 ** Update of gnulib files.
5302 ** API and ABI modifications:
5303 No changes since last version.
5305 * Version 1.7.4 (released 2007-02-05)
5307 ** Support for RSA signing using SHA-256/384/512.
5308 A new self test "sha2" tries to build a long X.509 certificate chain
5309 testing all new hashes.
5311 ** The gnutls-serv tool now use static DH parameters if none are supplied.
5313 ** Discuss proxy certificates in the manual.
5315 ** Improve bibliographical citations in the manual.
5317 ** Update of gnulib files.
5319 ** Fix certtool template handling of pathLenConstraints.
5320 It now defaults to -1 instead of 0, which causes the field to be
5321 missing unless the template specify it.
5323 ** API and ABI modifications:
5326 GNUTLS_MAC_SHA512: New gnutls_mac_algorithm_t values.
5329 GNUTLS_DIG_SHA512: New gnutls_digest_algorithm_t values.
5330 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA256,
5331 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA384,
5332 GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_SHA512: New gnutls_sign_algorithm_t values.
5334 * Version 1.7.3 (released 2007-02-01)
5336 ** New option to certtool: --generate-proxy.
5337 This will generate a Proxy Certificate from an end entity certificate.
5338 Proxy Certificates are documented in RFC 3820. You will need to
5339 specify the proxy certificate's private key with --load-privkey, the
5340 user certificate with --load-certificate and the private key used to
5341 sign the new proxy certificate with --load-ca-privkey. Certtool will
5342 query for proxy path length and the policy language OID. Currently
5343 only OIDs that have an empty policy are supported (which includes the
5344 two OIDs defined by RFC 3820).
5346 ** Certtool --certificate-info now prints information for Proxy Certificates.
5347 Before the proxy extension was just printed as DER encoded data.
5349 ** New APIs to set proxy subject names and get/set proxy cert extension.
5351 ** Fix parsing of pathLenConstraints in BasicConstraints with missing cA.
5353 ** Added self-test to test for regressions of pathLenConstraint bug.
5354 Incidentally, this also test (some) other regressions or changes in
5355 the output from certtool --certificate-info.
5357 ** When certtool generates CA certificates, pressing enter on the path
5358 ** length constraint query will now remove the field.
5359 Before it set the path length constraint to 0, which is a rather poor
5362 ** Certtool now print times in UTC when printing certificate/CRL info.
5364 ** Add better fix to work around C++ compiler bug on Mac OS X.
5365 Reported and tiny patch provided by Matthias Scheler <tron@NetBSD.org>.
5367 ** Fix import of ASCII armored OpenPGP keys.
5368 Patch by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
5370 ** Update of gnulib files.
5372 ** API and ABI modifications:
5373 gnutls_x509_crt_set_proxy_dn: ADD.
5374 gnutls_x509_crt_set_proxy: ADD.
5375 gnutls_x509_crt_get_proxy: ADD.
5377 * Version 1.7.2 (released 2007-01-14)
5379 ** Certtool now print the value of the pathLenConstraints field for certs.
5381 ** Certtool now query for path length constraints when generating CA certs.
5382 For batch uses, the certtool configuration name is "path_len".
5383 Suggested by Sascha Ziemann <sascha.ziemann@secunet.com>.
5385 ** Add new API to get/set pathLenConstraint in the Basic Constraints.
5386 The new functions gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints and
5387 gnutls_x509_crt_set_basic_constraints provide a superset of the
5388 functionality in the old gnutls_x509_crt_get_ca_status and
5389 gnutls_x509_crt_set_ca_status (respectively), but the old functions
5390 will continue to be supported.
5392 ** Add new API in OpenCDK to extract public/secret OpenPGP key to S-expr.
5393 The functions are cdk_pubkey_to_sexp and cdk_seckey_to_sexp. A proper
5394 OpenCDK release with this patch will be made soon, which should bump
5395 the OpenCDK version number. Patch by Mario Lenz <mario.lenz@gmx.net>.
5397 ** Certtool --to-p12 can now store more than one certificate in the blob.
5398 Before it could only store one certificate, but now it will read and
5399 store as many certificate there are from the --load-certificate file.
5400 Suggested by Sascha Ziemann <sascha.ziemann@secunet.com>.
5402 ** Clean up separation of gnutls and gnutls-extra for OpenPGP.
5403 In particular, the OpenPGP function variables are no longer part of
5404 the exported libgnutls interface, and no header files from
5405 libgnutls-extra (GPL) are needed by libgnutls (LGPL). The variables
5406 were never intended for non-internal purposes, and thus this does not
5407 imply a change in the external API/ABI.
5409 ** Print URL to gaa when missing, and fix srcdir!=builddir for GAA files.
5410 Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
5412 ** GnuTLS no longer uses -mms-bitfields --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc.
5413 Before these parameters were set to make GnuTLS build under mingw32,
5414 however, they appear to no longer be necessary.
5416 ** A minor fix to the C++ library to make it build.
5417 Reported by Pavlov Konstantin <thresh@altlinux.ru>.
5419 ** Update of gnulib files.
5421 ** API and ABI modifications:
5422 gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints: ADD.
5423 gnutls_x509_crt_set_basic_constraints: ADD.
5424 cdk_pubkey_to_sexp: ADD (in opencdk).
5425 cdk_seckey_to_sexp: ADD (in opencdk).
5427 * Version 1.7.1 (released 2006-12-28)
5429 ** TLS 1.2 server side fix.
5430 The Certificate Request sent did not contain the list of supported
5431 hashes field, thus violating the protocol. It will now contain an
5432 empty list. Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
5434 ** TLS 1.2 DSA signature verification fix.
5435 Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
5437 ** Fix the list of trusted CAs that server's send to clients.
5438 Before, the list contained issuer DN's instead of subject DN's of the
5439 trusted CAs. Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
5441 ** Fix gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl to initialize the CRL before using it.
5442 Also added a self-test in tests/certificate_set_x509_crl.c to test the
5443 function. Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
5445 ** Encode UID fields in DN's as DirectoryString.
5446 Before GnuTLS encoded and parsed UID fields as IA5String. This was
5447 incorrect, it should have used DirectoryString. Now it will use
5448 DirectoryString for the UID field, but for backwards compatibility it
5449 will also accept IA5String UID's. Reported by Max Kellermann
5452 ** Improve out-of-sourcedir builds from CVS.
5453 Reported by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès).
5455 ** Bootstrap tools changed.
5456 We now require autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10, and gettext 0.16, when
5457 building GnuTLS from CVS. Libtool 1.5.22 is used.
5459 ** Fixed a syntax error in lib/gnutls.asn.
5460 Reported by Paul Millar <p.millar@physics.gla.ac.uk>.
5462 ** Added German translation of GnuTLS messages.
5464 ** Update of gnulib files.
5466 ** API and ABI modifications:
5467 No changes since last version.
5469 * Version 1.7.0 (released 2006-11-29)
5471 ** The default protocol priority try TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 too.
5472 The details is that the protocol priority set by
5473 `gnutls_set_default_priority' has been changed from TLS 1.0 and SSL
5474 3.0 to TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0.
5476 ** Preliminary support for TLS 1.2.
5477 The client has been successfully tested against
5478 https://www.mikestoolbox.org:4433/.
5480 ** Anonself test now print a lot of debugging info, including TLS version.
5482 ** Doc fixes in OpenCDK, to avoid some gtk-doc warnings.
5484 ** Update of gnulib files.
5486 ** API and ABI modifications:
5487 GNUTLS_TLS1_2: New gnutls_protocol_t enum member.
5489 *** Pulled up from stable 1.6.x branch:
5491 ** Fix ./configure failure with non-GCC compilers.
5492 This fixes the following error message:
5493 configure: error: conditional "HAVE_LD_OUTPUT_DEF" was never defined.
5494 Reported by "Michael C. Vergallen" <mvergall@telenet.be>.
5496 * Version 1.6.3 (released 2007-05-26)
5498 ** New API functions to extract DER encoded X.509 Subject/Issuer DN.
5499 Suggested by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>. Backported
5500 from the 1.7.x branch, see
5501 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnutls/2007-05/msg00029.html>.
5503 ** Have PKCS8 parser return better error codes.
5504 Reported by Nate Nielsen <nielsen-list@memberwebs.com>, see
5505 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001653.html> and
5506 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-May/001654.html>.
5508 ** Fix mem leak for sessions with client authentication via certificates.
5509 Reported by Andrew W. Nosenko <andrew.w.nosenko@gmail.com>, see
5510 <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-dev/2007-April/001539.html>.
5512 ** Fix building of 'tlsia' self test.
5513 Earlier some gcc are known to build tlsia linking to
5514 $prefix/lib/libgnutls-extra.so rather than the libgnutls-extra.so in
5515 the build directory, even though command line parameters look OK.
5516 Changing order of some parameters fixes it.
5518 ** API and ABI modifications:
5519 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn: ADD.
5520 gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_dn: ADD.
5522 * Version 1.6.2 (released 2007-04-18)
5524 ** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields.
5525 Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly
5526 different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification
5527 failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other
5528 implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs
5529 you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear
5530 to be consistent with other widely used implementations.
5532 ** Regenerate the PKIX ASN.1 syntax tree.
5533 For some reason, after changing the ASN.1 type of ldap-UID in the last
5534 release, the generated C file built from the ASN.1 schema was not
5535 refreshed. This can cause problems when reading/writing UID
5536 components inside X.500 Distinguished Names. Reported by devel
5537 <dev001@pas-world.com>.
5539 ** Updated translations.
5541 ** API and ABI modifications:
5542 No changes since last version.
5544 * Version 1.6.1 (released 2006-12-28)
5546 ** Fix the list of trusted CAs that server's send to clients.
5547 Before, the list contained issuer DN's instead of subject DN's of the
5548 trusted CAs. Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
5550 ** Fix gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl to initialize the CRL before using it.
5551 Reported by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
5553 ** Encode UID fields in DN's as DirectoryString.
5554 Before GnuTLS encoded and parsed UID fields as IA5String. This was
5555 incorrect, it should have used DirectoryString. Now it will use
5556 DirectoryString for the UID field, but for backwards compatibility it
5557 will also accept IA5String UID's. Reported by Max Kellermann
5560 ** Fix ./configure failure with non-GCC compilers.
5561 This fixes the following error message:
5562 configure: error: conditional "HAVE_LD_OUTPUT_DEF" was never defined.
5563 Reported by "Michael C. Vergallen" <mvergall@telenet.be>.
5565 ** API and ABI modifications:
5566 No changes since last version.
5568 * Version 1.6.0 (released 2006-11-17)
5570 ** No changes since 1.5.5.
5571 The major changes compared to the 1.4.x branch are:
5573 *** A GnuTLS C++ library is part of the official distribution.
5574 Currently there are no examples or documentation, but hopefully this
5575 will change. See gnutlsxx.h for the API.
5577 *** Windows is a supported platform.
5578 There are, however, two know bugs. One is related to select() in
5579 command line tools (not, nota bene, in the library), the other is a
5580 problem with libgcrypt that causes delays. Help is needed to resolve
5581 those issues, so we feel we can't delay the release because of this.
5583 *** New APIs for custom push/pull function error reporting.
5584 The new APIs are gnutls_transport_set_errno and
5585 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno. See the release notes for version
5586 1.5.4 for more information.
5588 *** Self tests are run under valgrind, if available. See --disable-valgrind.
5590 * Version 1.5.5 (released 2006-11-16)
5592 ** Correctly bump shared library version after adding new APIs.
5593 This was forgotten in the last release.
5595 ** Fix unsigned vs signed problem in ex-x509-info.c example.
5596 Reported by Tim Kosse <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org>.
5598 ** Fix the rsa-md5-collision self test to work for MinGW+Wine.
5600 ** Update of gnulib files.
5602 ** API and ABI modifications:
5603 No changes since last version.
5605 * Version 1.5.4 (released 2006-11-07)
5607 ** New API functions to set errno in push/pull functions.
5608 Under Windows, setting the errno variable in a push/pull replacement
5609 may end up setting the wrong errno variable, and GnuTLS send/recv
5610 functions become confused about the real errno returned from a failed
5611 push/pull function. Therefor, we have added two APIs to set the errno
5612 variable used by GnuTLS. The APIs can also help to keep things
5613 thread-safe, by avoiding potentially global variables. Typically,
5614 instead of setting errno in your push/pull function, you will call one
5615 of these functions. It is recommended to use
5616 gnutls_transport_set_errno, but if you don't have the session variable
5617 easily accessible in the push/pull replacement function, you can use
5618 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno. Suggested by Tim Kosse
5619 <tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org>.
5621 void gnutls_transport_set_errno (gnutls_session_t session, int err);
5622 void gnutls_transport_set_global_errno (int err);
5624 ** When calling `recv' or `send' Windows errors are handled properly.
5625 The Windows recv/send functions doesn't use errno, and GnuTLS now use
5626 WSAGetLastError to access the error condition instead.
5628 ** Several OpenPGP API fixes.
5629 All suggested by ludovic.courtes@laas.fr (Ludovic Courtès). The most
5630 important fix is to change the return value of
5631 gnutls_openpgp_privkey_get_pk_algorithm and
5632 gnutls_openpgp_key_get_pk_algorithm from 'int' to
5633 'gnutls_pk_algorithm_t', which is an enum type (and thus API/ABI
5634 compatible with 'int').
5636 ** When a GnuTLS server receive a SSLv2 Client Hello for an unknown TLS
5637 ** version, try to negotiate the highest version support by the GnuTLS server,
5638 ** instead of the lowest.
5639 Reported by <Pasi.Eronen@nokia.com>.
5641 ** Replace old constructs with use of gnulib modules.
5642 For example, we can now assume unistd.h, sys/stat.h, sys/socket.h in
5643 the code. If the headers doesn't exist on the target system, gnulib
5644 will make sure its replacement header files are used instead.
5646 ** Fix SOVERSION computation for *.def files.
5647 This fixes build errors similar to "No rule to make target
5648 `libgnutls-`expr', needed by `all-am'." when building for Windows.
5650 ** gnutls_check-version uses strverscmp from gnulib.
5652 ** Update of gnulib files.
5654 ** API and ABI modifications:
5655 gnutls_transport_set_errno: ADD
5656 gnutls_transport_set_global_errno: ADD
5658 * Version 1.5.3 (released 2006-10-26)
5660 ** Add new self-test of RSA-MD5 signature chains.
5661 Note that we already, since GnuTLS 1.2.9, reject RSA-MD5 signatures
5662 when verifying X.509 chains. The code is in tests/rsa-md5-collision/
5663 and is based on the work by Marc Stevens et al, see
5664 <http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/TargetCollidingCertificates/>.
5666 ** Re-factor self tests.
5668 ** The include copy of Libtasn1 is updated to version 0.3.7.
5670 ** The included copy of OpenCDK is updated to version 0.5.11.
5672 ** Fix the filename of the *.def file on Windows after library version bump.
5674 ** Separated the gnulib directory into one for LGPL modules and one for GPL.
5675 This allows the GPL'd part of GnuTLS to take advantage of the GPL'd
5676 gnulib modules. Earlier we could only use the LGPL'ed module from
5677 gnulib, because two gnulib directories in the same project didn't
5680 ** API and ABI modifications:
5681 No changes since last version.
5683 * Version 1.5.2 (released 2006-10-03)
5685 ** Decrement the shared library version back to 13 (as in the 1.4.x branch).
5686 Note that if you installed 1.5.0 or 1.5.1, they will have a higher
5687 shared library version than this version, so you'll have to remove
5688 them and possibly relink your applications. The reason for this is
5689 that no API/ABI changes have been made since the 1.4.x branch, and
5690 that incrementing the shared library version was a mistake. Reported
5691 by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
5693 ** Fix off-by-one error when computing length to malloc.
5694 The code is used by gnutls_openpgp_add_keyring_file and
5695 gnutls_openpgp_add_keyring_mem. Reported by "Adam Langley"
5696 <agl@imperialviolet.org>.
5698 ** Add version script for the GnuTLS C++ library.
5699 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
5701 ** Fix the C++ compiler detection logic.
5702 Reported by Andreas Metzler <ametzler@downhill.at.eu.org>.
5704 ** Update of gnulib files.
5706 ** API and ABI modifications:
5707 No changes since last version.
5709 * Version 1.5.1 (released 2006-09-21)
5711 ** Fix PKCS#1 verification to avoid a variant of Bleichenbacher's
5712 ** Crypto 06 rump session attack.
5713 In particular, we check that the digestAlgorithm.parameters field is
5714 missing or empty, to avoid that it can contain "garbage" that may be
5715 used to alter the numeric properties of the signature. See
5716 <http://www.imc.org/ietf-openpgp/mail-archive/msg14307.html> (which is
5717 not exactly the same as the problem we fix here). Reported by Yutaka
5718 OIWA <y.oiwa@aist.go.jp>.
5720 See GNUTLS-SA-2006-4 on http://www.gnutls.org/security.html for more
5721 up to date information.
5723 ** Add self test to test for above flaw.
5725 ** Fix gnutls-cli-debug regarding resume support detection.
5726 Earlier, if the session-id from the server had a length of 0, it would
5727 indicate that the server supports resumption, which isn't the case.
5728 Reported by Kataja Kai <kai.kataja@op.fi>.
5730 ** Fix building of examples on FreeBSD by including netinet/in.h.
5731 Reported by Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org>.
5733 ** Fix certtool bug that caused the private key to not be loaded when
5734 generating a certificate with --load-request, which in turn triggered
5735 another unrelated bug in gnutls_x509_crt_sign2 (also fixed). Reported
5736 by Sascha Ziemann <sascha.ziemann@secunet.com>.
5738 ** gnutls-cli and gnutls-serv works on Windows.
5739 The problem was the select() call that doesn't work on file
5740 descriptors (stdin) on Windows. We borrowed some code from plibc to
5741 solve this. It appears to be somewhat unreliable though.
5743 ** Autoconf 2.60 is now used.
5745 ** API and ABI modifications:
5746 No changes since last version.
5748 * Version 1.5.0 (released 2006-08-13)
5750 ** Change SRP and Cert-Type extensions to match IANA registry.
5752 ** Fixed bug in OpenPGP authentication handshake.
5754 ** Improvements for building under MinGW.
5755 Provides internal inet_ntop and inet_pton functions and arpa/inet.h
5756 header. Calls WSAStartup and WSACleanup in gnutls_global_init and
5757 gnutls_global_deinit, respectively. Loads getaddrinfo and getnameinfo
5758 at run-time from ws2_32.dll, and falls back on a simple replacement if
5759 it is not available. Builds the library with -mms-bitfields
5760 -Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc. Links with --output-def, to
5761 create *.def files, which are installed.
5763 ** The examples now (conditionally) include config.h and link to gnulib.
5764 No other source changes were necessary, so the examples should
5765 continue to be possible to use stand-alone without any autoconf or
5768 ** Added C++ header "gnutlsxx.h" and library "libgnutlsxx".
5769 You may unconditionally disable it with --disable-cxx. See
5770 includes/gnutls/gnutlsxx.h and lib/gnutlsxx.cpp for the
5773 ** Made command line tool '--version' behave according to GNU Standards.
5774 This enables 'make distcheck' to succeed.
5776 ** OpenCDK updated to 0.5.9 to fix some problems with OpenPGP support.
5778 ** Make --without-included-libtasn1 work.
5779 Reported by Daniel Black <dragonheart@gentoo.org>.
5781 ** Fix a crash (strcmp() on a NULL value) in the certificate verification logic.

5802 * Version 1.4.4 (released 2006-09-12)
5804 ** Relax the test that caught signatures that exploit the variant of
5805 ** Bleichenbacher's Crypto 06 rump session attack on our
5806 ** verification logic flaw.
5807 In particular, we now permit the digestAlgorithm.parameters field to
5808 be present but empty, whereas in 1.4.3 we actually checked that the
5811 ** Revert the removal of debug information for the GNUTLS-SA-2006-3 problem.
5812 The messages are only printed in debug mode, which is not recommended
5813 for normal use, and thus logging this situation cannot be abused as an
5814 oracle in typical recommended situations.
5816 ** API and ABI modifications:
5817 No changes since last version.
5819 * Version 1.4.3 (released 2006-09-08)
5821 ** Fix PKCS#1 verification to avoid a variant of Bleichenbacher's
5822 ** Crypto 06 rump session attack.
5823 In particular, we check that the digestAlgorithm.parameters field is
5824 empty, to avoid that it can contain "garbage" that may be used to

5845 * Version 1.4.2 (released 2006-08-12)
5847 ** Fix a crash (strcmp() on a NULL value) in the certificate verification logic.
5848 This can happen if you call gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 and have
5849 a certain mix of local CA certificates and the peer send special
5850 certificates, that together trigger certain behaviour. It is not
5851 known at this point whether the crash can be triggered without the
5852 special local CA certificate, and thus turn this into a remote crash
5853 of clients that verify server certificates when they talk to a server
5854 with the special server certificate. See GNUTLS-SA-2006-2 on
5855 http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/security.html for more up to date
5856 information. Reported by satyakumar <satyam_kkd@hyd.hellosoft.com>.
5858 ** Change SRP and Cert-Type extensions to match IANA registry.
5860 ** OpenCDK updated to 0.5.9 to fix some problems with OpenPGP support.
5862 ** Make --without-included-libtasn1 work.
5863 Reported by Daniel Black <dragonheart@gentoo.org>.
5865 ** API and ABI modifications:
5866 No changes since last version.
5868 * Version 1.4.1 (released 2006-06-14)
5870 ** Replaced inactive ifdefs to enable openpgp support in test programs.
5872 ** Fixed bug in OpenPGP authentication handshake.
5874 ** Fixed typographical in man pages.
5876 ** Build fixes of the manual.
5878 ** Added Swedish translation.
5880 ** API and ABI modifications:
5881 No changes since last version.
5883 * Version 1.4.0 (released 2006-05-15)
5885 ** Remove GnuTLS 0.8.x compatibility functions.
5887 ** The libgcrypt RNG is initialized in gnutls_global_init().
5889 ** TLS/IA API changes from Emile van Bergen.
5890 A dummy credential structure is not needed now, if you wish to use the
5891 low-level TLS/IA API, simply call gnutls_ia_enable to enable TLS/IA on
5894 ** The self-tests are now run under valgrind, if it is installed.
5896 ** Libtasn1 is updated to 0.3.4, and that version is now required.
5898 ** The command line tools now use getaddrinfo and support IPv6.
5900 ** API and ABI modifications:
5901 _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_activation_time,
5902 _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_expiration_time: Removed.
5903 gnutls_ia_require_inner_phase: Removed, replaced by gnutls_ia_enable.
5904 gnutls_ia_enable: Added.
5906 * Version 1.3.5 (released 2006-03-08)
5908 ** Error messages are now translated using GNU Gettext.
5910 ** The function gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml now return an internal error.
5911 This means that the code to convert X.509 certificates to XML format
5912 does not work any more. The reason is that the function called
5913 libtasn1 internal functions. It seems unclean for libtasn1 to export
5914 the APIs needed here. Instead it would be better to implement XML
5915 support inside libtasn1 properly. If you need this functionality
5916 strongly, please consider looking into implementing this suggested
5917 approach instead. As a workaround, you may also modify lib/x509/xml.c
5918 (change '#if 1' to '#if 0') and build using --with-included-libtasn1.
5920 ** Libraries are now built with libtool's -no-undefined.
5921 This helps producing libraries for Windows using mingw32.
5923 ** Doc fixes to explain that gnutls_record_send can block.
5925 ** Libtasn1 0.3.1 or later is now required.
5926 The include copy has been updated too.
5928 ** gnutls-cli can now recognize services and port numbers with the -p option.
5930 ** API and ABI modifications:
5931 No changes since last version.
5933 * Version 1.3.4 (released 2006-02-09)
5935 ** Fix read of out bounds bug in DER parser.
5936 Reported by Evgeny Legerov <admin@gleg.net>, and debugging help from
5937 Protover SSL. Libtasn1 0.2.18 is now required, which contains the
5938 previous bug fix. The included libtasn1 version in GnuTLS has been
5941 ** Fixed bug in non-blocking gnutls_bye(). gnutls_record_send() will no
5942 longer invalidate a session if the underlying send fails, but it will
5943 prevent future writes. That is to allow reading the already received data.
5944 Patches and bug reports by Yoann Vandoorselaere <yoann@prelude-ids.org>
5946 ** Corrected bugs in gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl() and
5947 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust(), that caused memory corruption if
5948 more than one certificates were added. Report and patch by Max Kellermann.
5950 ** Fix build problems of OpenCDK on AIX.
5951 Thanks to "Heiden, John" <JHeiden@UTNet.UToledo.Edu>.
5953 ** API and ABI modifications:
5954 No changes since last version.
5956 * Version 1.3.3 (released 2006-01-12)
5958 ** New API to access the TLS master secret.
5959 When possible, you should use the TLS PRF functions instead.
5960 Suggested by Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>.
5962 ** Improved handling when multiple libraries use GnuTLS at the same time.
5963 Now gnutls_global_init() can be called multiple times, and
5964 gnutls_global_deinit() will only deallocate the structure when it has
5965 been called as many times as gnutls_global_init() was called.
5967 ** Added a self test of TLS resume functionality.
5969 ** Fix crash in TLS resume code, caused by TLS/IA changes.
5971 ** Documentation fixes about thread unsafety, prompted by
5972 ** discussion with bryanh@giraffe-data.com (Bryan Henderson).
5973 In particular, gnutls_global_init() and gnutls_global_deinit() are not
5974 thread safe. Careful callers may want to protect the call using a
5975 mutex. The problem could also be ignored, which would cause a memory
5976 leak under rare conditions when two threads invoke the function
5977 roughly at the same time.
5979 ** Add 'const' keywords in various places, from Frediano ZIGLIO.
5981 ** The code was indented again, including the external header files.
5983 ** API and ABI modifications:
5984 New functions to retrieve the master secret value:
5985 gnutls_session_get_master_secret
5987 Add a 'const' keyword to existing API:
5988 gnutls_x509_crq_get_challenge_password
5990 * Version 1.3.2 (released 2005-12-15)
5992 ** GnuTLS now support TLS Inner application (TLS/IA).
5993 This is per draft-funk-tls-inner-application-extension-01. This
5994 functionality is added to libgnutls-extra, so it is licensed under the
5995 GNU General Public License.
5997 ** New APIs to access the TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF).
5998 The PRF is used by some protocols building on TLS, such as EAP-PEAP
5999 and EAP-TTLS. One function to access the raw PRF and one to access
6000 the PRF seeded with the client/server random fields are provided.
6001 Suggested by Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>.
6003 ** New APIs to acceess the client and server random fields in a session.
6004 These fields can be useful by protocols using TLS. Note that these
6005 fields are typically used as input to the TLS PRF, and if this is your
6006 intended use, you should use the TLS PRF API that use the
6007 client/server random field directly. Suggested by Jouni Malinen
6008 <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>.
6010 ** Internal type cleanups.
6011 The uint8, uint16, uint32 types have been replaced by uint8_t,
6012 uint16_t, uint32_t. Gnulib is used to guarantee the presence of
6013 correct types on platforms that lack them. The uint type have been
6014 replaced by unsigned.
6016 ** API and ABI modifications:
6017 New functions to invoke the TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF):
6021 New functions to retrieve the session's client and server random values:
6022 gnutls_session_get_server_random
6023 gnutls_session_get_client_random
6025 New function, to perform TLS/IA handshake:
6028 New function to decide whether to do a TLS/IA handshake:

6031 New functions to allocate a TLS/IA credential:
6032 gnutls_ia_allocate_client_credentials
6033 gnutls_ia_free_client_credentials
6034 gnutls_ia_allocate_server_credentials
6035 gnutls_ia_free_server_credentials

6042 gnutls_ia_set_server_avp_ptr
6043 gnutls_ia_get_server_avp_ptr
6045 New functions, to toggle TLS/IA application phases:
6046 gnutls_ia_require_inner_phase
6048 New function to mix session keys with inner secret:
6049 gnutls_ia_permute_inner_secret
6051 Low-level API (used internally by gnutls_ia_handshake):
6052 gnutls_ia_endphase_send
6056 New functions that can be used after successful TLS/IA negotiation:
6057 gnutls_ia_generate_challenge
6058 gnutls_ia_extract_inner_secret
6060 Enum type with TLS/IA modes:
6063 Enum type with TLS/IA packet types:
6066 Enum values for TLS/IA alerts:
6067 GNUTLS_A_INNER_APPLICATION_FAILURE
6068 GNUTLS_A_INNER_APPLICATION_VERIFICATION
6070 New error codes, to signal when an application phase has finished:
6071 GNUTLS_E_WARNING_IA_IPHF_RECEIVED
6072 GNUTLS_E_WARNING_IA_FPHF_RECEIVED
6074 New error code to signal TLS/IA verify failure:
6075 GNUTLS_E_IA_VERIFY_FAILED
6077 * Version 1.3.1 (released 2005-12-08)
6079 ** Support for DHE-PSK cipher suites has been added.
6080 This method offers perfect forward secrecy.
6082 ** Fix gnutls-cli STARTTLS hang when SIGINT is sent too quickly, thanks to
6083 Otto Maddox <ottomaddox@fastmail.fm> and Nozomu Ando <nand@mac.com>.
6085 ** Corrected a bug in certtool for 64 bit machines. Reported
6086 by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
6088 ** New function to set a X.509 private key and certificate pairs, and/or
6089 CRLs, from an PKCS#12 file, suggested by Emile van Bergen
6090 <emile@e-advies.nl>.
6092 The integrity of the PKCS#12 file is protected through a password
6093 based MAC; public-key based signatures for integrity protection are
6094 not supported. PKCS#12 bags may be encrypted using password derived
6095 symmetric keys, public-key based encryption is not supported. The
6096 PKCS#8 keys may be encrypted using passwords. The API use the same
6097 password for all operations. We believe that any more flexibility
6098 create too much complexity that would hurt overall security, but may
6099 add more PKCS#12 related APIs if real-world experience indicate
6102 ** gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 now accept unencrypted PEM PKCS#8 keys,
6103 reported by Emile van Bergen <emile@e-advies.nl>.
6104 This will enable "certtool -k -8" to parse those keys.
6106 ** Certtool now generate keys in unencrypted PKCS#8 format for empty passwords.
6107 Use "certtool -p -8" and press press enter at the prompt. Earlier,
6108 certtool would have encrypted the key using an empty password.
6110 ** Certtool now accept --password for --key-info and encrypted PKCS#8 keys.
6111 Earlier it would have prompted the user for it, even if --password was
6114 ** Added self test of PKCS#8 parsing.
6115 Unencrypted and encrypted (pbeWithSHAAnd3-KeyTripleDES-CBC and
6116 pbeWithSHAAnd40BitRC2-CBC) formats are tested. The test is in
6119 ** API and ABI modifications:
6120 New function to set X.509 credentials from a PKCS#12 file:
6121 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file
6123 New gnutls_kx_algorithm_t enum type:
6126 New API to return session data (basically same as gnutls_session_get_data):
6127 gnutls_session_get_data2
6129 New API to set PSK Diffie-Hellman parameters:
6130 gnutls_psk_set_server_dh_params
6132 * Version 1.3.0 (2005-11-15)
6134 ** Support for TLS Pre-Shared Key (TLS-PSK) ciphersuites have been added.
6135 This add several new APIs, see below. Read the updated manual for
6136 more information. A new self test "pskself" has been added, that will
6137 test this functionality.
6139 ** The session resumption data are now system independent.
6141 ** The code has been re-indented to conform to the GNU coding style.
6143 ** Removed the RIPEMD ciphersuites.
6145 ** Added a discussion of the internals of gnutls in manual.
6147 ** Fixes for Tru64 UNIX 4.0D that lack MAP_FAILED, from Albert Chin.
6149 ** Remove trailing comma in enums, for IBM C v6, from Albert Chin.
6151 ** Make sure config.h is included first in a few files, from Albert Chin.
6153 ** Don't use C++ comments ("//") as they are invalid, from Albert Chin.
6155 ** Don't install SRP programs and man pages if --disable-srp-authentication,
6158 ** API and ABI modifications:

6161 New gnutls_credentials_type_t credential type:
6164 New credential types:
6165 gnutls_psk_server_credentials_t

6179 gnutls_psk_server_credentials_function
6181 New function to set PSK username and key:
6182 gnutls_psk_set_client_credentials
6184 New function to set PSK passwd file:

6196 gnutls_srp_base64_decode
6198 * Version 1.2.11 (2006-05-11)
6199 - The function gnutls_x509_crt_to_xml is not supported any more, and
6200 return an internal error. The reason is that the function called
6201 internal libtasn1 functions which are no longer exported from
6203 - Updated libtasn1 requirement to 0.3.4 and refreshed internal mintiasn1.
6204 - Updated gnulib compatibility files.
6205 - Fixed _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_expiration_time and
6206 _gnutls_x509_get_raw_crt_activation_time to return (time_t)-1 on errors.
6207 - API and ABI modifications:
6208 No changes since last version.
6210 * Version 1.2.10 (2006-02-09)
6211 - Fix read out bounds bug in DER parser. Reported by Evgeny Legerov
6212 <admin@gleg.net>, and debugging help from Protover SSL.
6213 - Libtasn1 0.2.18 is now required (contains the previous bug fix).
6214 The included version has been updated too.
6215 - Fix gnutls-cli STARTTLS hang when SIGINT is sent too quickly, thanks to
6216 Otto Maddox <ottomaddox@fastmail.fm> and Nozomu Ando <nand@mac.com>.
6217 - Corrected a bug in certtool for 64 bit machines. Reported
6218 by Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>.
6219 - Corrected bugs in gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl() and
6220 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust(), that caused memory corruption if
6221 more than one certificates were added. Report and patch by Max Kellermann.
6222 - Fixed bug in non-blocking gnutls_bye(). gnutls_record_send() will no
6223 longer invalidate a session if the underlying send fails, but it will
6224 prevent future writes. That is to allow reading the already received data.
6225 Patches and bug reports by Yoann Vandoorselaere <yoann@prelude-ids.org>
6227 * Version 1.2.9 (2005-11-07)
6228 - Documentation was updated and improved.
6229 - RSA-MD2 is now supported for verifying digital signatures.
6230 - Due to cryptographic advances, verifying untrusted X.509
6231 certificates signed with RSA-MD2 or RSA-MD5 will now fail with a
6232 GNUTLS_CERT_INSECURE_ALGORITHM verification output. For
6233 applications that must remain interoperable, you can use the
6234 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD2 or GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5
6235 flags when verifying certificates. Naturally, this is not
6236 recommended default behaviour for applications. To enable the
6237 broken algorithms, call gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags with the
6238 proper flag, to change the verification mode used by
6239 gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.
6240 - Make it possible to send empty data through gnutls_record_send,
6241 to align with the send(2) API.
6242 - Some changes in the certificate receiving part of handshake to prevent
6243 some possible errors with non-blocking servers.
6244 - Added numeric version symbols to permit simple CPP-based feature
6245 tests, suggested by Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>.
6246 - The (experimental) low-level crypto alternative to libgcrypt used
6247 earlier (Nettle) has been replaced with crypto code from gnulib.
6248 This leads to easier re-use of these components in other projects,
6249 leading to more review and simpler maintenance. The new configure
6250 parameter --with-builtin-crypto replace the old --with-nettle, and
6251 must be used if you wish to enable this functionality. See README
6252 under "Experimental" for more information. Internally, GnuTLS has
6253 been updated to use the new "Generic Crypto" API in gl/gc.h. The
6254 API is similar to the old crypto/gc.h, because the gnulib code were
6255 based on GnuTLS's gc.h.
6256 - Fix compiler warning in the "anonself" self test.
6257 - API and ABI modifications:
6258 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify: Added 'const' to prototype in <gnutls/x509.h>.
6259 This doesn't reflect a change in behaviour,
6260 so we don't break backwards compatibility.
6261 GNUTLS_MAC_MD2: New gnutls_mac_algorithm_t value.
6262 GNUTLS_DIG_MD2: New gnutls_digest_algorithm_t value.
6263 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD2,
6264 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5: New gnutls_certificate_verify_flags values.
6266 gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify,
6267 gnutls_x509_crt_verify, or
6268 gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags.
6269 GNUTLS_CERT_INSECURE_ALGORITHM: New gnutls_certificate_status_t value,
6270 used when broken signature algorithms
6271 is used (currently RSA-MD2/MD5).
6272 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
6273 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR,
6274 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH,
6275 LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER: New CPP symbols, indicating the GnuTLS
6276 version number, can be used for feature existence
6279 * Version 1.2.8 (2005-10-07)
6280 - Libgcrypt 1.2.2 is required to fix a bug for forking GnuTLS servers.
6281 - Don't install the auxilliary libexamples library used by the
6282 examples in doc/examples/ on "make install", report and tiny patch
6283 from Thomas Klausner <tk@giga.or.at>.
6284 - If you pass a X.509 CA or PGP trust database to the command line
6285 tool, it will now abort the connection if the server certificate
6286 validation fails. Use the parameter --insecure to continue even
6287 after certificate validation failures. Inspired from discussion
6288 with Alexander Kotelnikov <sacha@myxomop.com>.
6289 - The test for socklen_t has been moved to gnulib.

6351 - Introduced the --fix-key option to certtool, which can be used to
6352 regenerate the (optional) parameters in a private key. It should
6353 be used together with --key-info.

6376 and made source code include external include file, to check
6377 function prototypes during compile time.
6378 - API and ABI modifications:
6379 No changes since last version. At least not intentional, but due
6380 to the include header changes, there may be inadvertant changes,
6381 please let us know if you find any.

6388 - Added warning to certtool when MD5 is being used for digital
6390 - Optimizations ("-O2 -finline-functions") are not enabled by default,
6391 instead the standard autoconf defaults are used. Use `./configure
6392 CFLAGS="-O2 -finline-functions"' to get the old optimizations.
6393 - Added the option --get-dh-params to certtool, in order to get the
6394 parameters included in the library primes and generators.

6430 gnutls_x509_rdn_get now set *sizeof_buf to the buffer length that is
6431 required, instead of the string length. That is, the value has been
6432 incremented by 1 to account for the terminating zero. Reported by
6433 Martin Lambers <marlam@web.de>.
