Subject: GnuTLS 1.2.2 (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuTLS 1.2.2!
This is a bugfix release on the 1.2.x branch. Among other things,
this release fixes a serious double memory de-allocation problem.
Also included are my initial work on cleaning up the #include file
situation. The source code files now include the public header file
for most data types, instead of duplicating possibly stale prototypes.
Note that this has not been tested extensively, although I have had
some positive reports. Your feedback is needed for deciding whether
to possibly back this change out.
Improving GnuTLS is costly, but you can help! We are looking for
organizations that find GnuTLS useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate
money or equipment.
Commercial support contracts for GnuTLS are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a
privately owned company located in Stockholm, is currently funding
GnuTLS maintenance, and is always looking for interesting development
projects.
If you need help to use GnuTLS, or want to help others, you are
invited to join our help-gnutls mailing list, see:
<http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls>.

c7e82a42c43a878d68f920dfc7a66980 gnutls-1.2.2.tar.bz2.sig
Noteworthy changes since version 1.2.1:
- gnutls_error_to_alert() now considers
GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_HANDSHAKE_PACKET.
- Fixed error in session resuming that could cause a crash in a session.
- Fixed pkcs12 friendly name and local key identifier decoding.
- Internal cleanups, removed duplicate typedef/struct definitions,
and made source code include external include file, to check
function prototypes during compile time.
- API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version. At least not intentional, but due
to the include header changes, there may be inadvertant changes,
please let us know if you find any.
Enjoy,
Nikos and Simon
