Subject: GnuTLS 1.2.3 and 1.0.25 (fwd)
Date: 30 Apr 2005 18:20:02 GMT
========== Forwarded message ==========
We are pleased to announce the availability of two new GnuTLS
releases; GnuTLS 1.2.3 and GnuTLS 1.0.25!
These releases were prompted by the discovery of a denial of service
problem.
We recommend 1.0 users to move to 1.2. We will continue to make
releases on the old branch when security problems are discovered, for
those who feel unable to upgrade.
We do not have the resources to analyze and write an explanation of
this security problem. Volunteers who want to read the bug reports
and the CVS changes, and write up an explanation in plain English, are
most welcome! Having a detailed track record of security problems can
be a useful reference when discussing security in free software
packages in general. Naturally, if you wish to sponsor us to do this
work for you, please contact me.
PS. The ftp.gnutls.org server appear down at the moment, but the
files below will be available as soon as possible.
If you need help to use GnuTLS, or want to help others, you are
invited to join our help-gnutls mailing list, see:

Noteworthy changes since version 1.0.24/1.2.3:
- Corrected bug in record packet parsing that could lead
to a denial of service attack.
- Corrected bug in RSA key export. Previously exported keys
can be fixed using certtool. Use certtool -k <infile >outfile
- API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_privkey_fix(): Add.

(MD5: f5aa298518b2859f22337d288015f2d3)
New enhancements in version 4.63 include:
* When cancelling a message being composed the commands are now "^C"
followed by "_C_onfirm" instead of "^C" followed by "_Y_es". "^C"
"Yes" was close to "^X" "Yes", the command used to send a message.
The change is there to prevent inadvertent cancellations. The old
behavior may be restored by setting the feature
Compose-Cancel-Confirm-Uses-Yes.
* Command-line option "-url" can now be used with "-attach" and
similar options
* Quell-User-Id-Prompt no longer falls back on prompting for user-id
if a connection to the INBOX can't be established
* New token _CURNEWS_ which is equal to the current newsgroup if
there is one, mostly for use with the Reply-Leadin option
* New token ARROW for use in the Index-Format option for the MESSAGE
INDEX screen. This causes the current message to be indicated by
an arrow instead of being shown in reverse video. It may also be
colored if desired.
* New feature Force-Arrow-Cursor turns on an "arrow" cursor in the
MESSAGE INDEX just like you get with the Assume-Slow-Link feature
turned on, except the coloring of the index line will still take
place.
* Address book entries can be exported to a file in tab-separated
columns for more convenient import to some other clients
* New variable Quote-Replace-String and feature
Quote-Replace-Nonflowed allow for replacing quotes with the string
of the user's choice when viewing a message
* Character Set matching can now be done conveniently in Rules
* Field for comments added to Rules. Warning: Don't use this field
until all of the Pines that you run are version 4.63 or higher,
since it will cause the Rule to be ignored in previous versions.
* There is a new filterNow command located under Setup/Rules which
causes your filters to be re-run immediately. This is _not_ useful
for most users since filters are run immediately as new mail
arrives, but it may be useful if you want to re-run filters after
changing the status (New, Important, Deleted, and so on) of
messages and you don't want to wait until exiting the folder or
expunging.
Some of the bugs that have been addressed in this release include:
* Crash when an IMAP server dies while browsing the server's
collection of folders
* Crash with message "Lock when already locked" when saving multiple
messages where some of those messages have had attachments deleted
* Possible crash when viewing an attachment with an encoded name
* Crash when saving from a local folder which has been closed due to
external modification
* TABbing for new mail in a news maildrop with multiple newsrcs was
broken
* Role inheritance only worked one level deep
* When viewing messages with the Quote-Suppression-Threshold turned
on, non-flowed messages with long lines that wrapped caused
confusion with the quoted line counting
* Malformed addresses were not always handled cleanly when replying.
Now the original address should be presented to the user who must
sort it out.
* In PC-Pine, Postponed tab was needlessly grayed out when editing
headers.
* It wasn't possible to add a collection that was a sub-collection
of the open Inbox on a cyrus server because Pine tried to create
the directory Inbox and that Folder/Directory already existed
* Handles (for example, for URLs) would sometimes be selectable even
though they had been scrolled off the screen one line, causing
confusion
* Failed to notice expunges in local folders which were in mbx
format
* In composer: ^R to reveal Attachment line, attach a file without
leaving the line (e.g. with ^T), then ^R while still in the
Attachment line, and the attachment was not sent
* When viewing format=flowed messages with the DelSp=yes parameter
urls were not recognized if they were split in the middle. It is
recommended that messages not be sent with this format but it is
known that some clients (Apple Mail is one) do send such mail.
* Avoid unnecessary re-sort of the folder when re-filtering in
preparation for an expunge
* In PC-Pine, crash when fonts with unknown character sets are
loaded
* Bug in composer when cleaning up a flowed message with
indentations inside of quotes.
* Preserve Literal-Signature leading spaces in config file
* Strip trailing spaces from signatures so that they won't be
recognized as flowed text
* Fix race condition in rpdump that could cause overwriting of
arbitrary local files owned by the user running rpdump if a
malicious user has write permission in the same directory as the
local file specified on the command line.
* When running Pine in function key mode, make it possible to
Reverse the sort
As with all Pine releases, it is important that you carefully test and
determine for yourself that it performs suitably in your environment
before placing Pine into production use.

Subject: GNU Libtool 1.5.16 released. (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool
1.5.16.
GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a
consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl,
which hides the comlexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries
(modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.
This release has a number of improvements and bug fixes.
New in 1.5.16: 2005-04-23
* Allow shell special characters like `$' in source file names, but
not in object names, to enhance GCJ support.
* Detection of compiler wrappers like distcc/ccache and $host_alias
prefix.
* More robust tests for PIC flag, `-c -o', in presence of warnings.
* Bug Fixes, among others for convenience archives regression on
Solaris and timestamp-preserving `libtoolize --copy --ltdl'.
libtool-1.5.16 is available now from ftp.gnu.org, along with diffs
and xdeltas against libtool-1.5.14 that are also available from
ftp.gnu.org. Please use a mirror to reduce stress on the main gnu
machine:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.16.tar.gz
Here are the xdeltas and diffs against libtool-1.5.14:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.14-1.5.16.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.14-1.5.16.xdelta
Here are the gpg detached signatures:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.14-1.5.16.xdelta.sig
You should download the signature named after any tarball you download,
and then verify its integrity with, for example:
gpg --verify libtool-1.5.16.tar.gz.sig
Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:

0f6521475c3759b18a3f8319a3f134308f35111d libtool-1.5.14-1.5.16.xdelta
This release was bootstrapped with Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.9.5,
but is useable with Autoconf 2.50 & later and Automake 1.4 & later in
your own projects.
Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from
anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when
you are prompted for the password):
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/libtool \
co -r release-1-5-16 libtool
You will then need to have the latest release versions of Automake
(1.9.5) and Autoconf (2.59) installed to bootstrap the checked out
sources yourself.
Please report bugs to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>, along with the verbose
output of any failed test groups, and the output from `./libtool --help.'
