gnutls-3.5.7
New minor version
Hello,
I've just released gnutls 3.5.7. This is the last release in the 3.5.x
branch introducing major changes. The next releases after 3.5.7 will be
marked as stable and replace the 3.4.x branch. New features will enter
at a new 3.6.x branch.
* Version 3.5.7 (released 2016-12-8)
** libgnutls: Include CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites in the SECURE128
and SECURE256 priority strings.
** libgnutls: Require libtasn1 4.9; this ensures gnutls will correctly
operate with OIDs which have elements that exceed 2^32.
** libgnutls: The DN decoding functions output the traditional DN
format rather than the strict RFC4514 compliant textual DN. This
reverts the 3.5.6 introduced change, and allows applications which
depended on the previous format to continue to function. Introduced
new functions which output the strict format by default, and can
revert to the old one using a flag.
** libgnutls: Improved TPM key handling. Check authorization
requirements prior to using a key and fix issue on loop for PIN
input. Patches by James Bottomley.
** libgnutls: In all functions accepting UTF-8 passwords, ensure that
passwords are normalized according to RFC7613. When invalid UTF-8
passwords are detected, they are only tolerated for decryption.
This introduces a libunistring dependency on GnuTLS. A version of
libunistring is included in the library for the platforms that do
not ship it; it can be used with the '--with-included-unistring'
option to configure script.
** libgnutls: When setting a subject alternative name in a certificate
which is in UTF-8 format, it will transparently be converted to IDNA
form prior to storing.
** libgnutls: GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE flag on gnutls_x509_crt_print()
will print the SHA256 key-ID instead of a certificate fingerprint.
** libgnutls: enhance the PKCS#7 verification capabilities. In the case
signers that are not discoverable using the trust list or input, use
the stored list as pool to generate a trusted chain to the signer.
** libgnutls: Improved MTU calculation precision for the CBC
ciphersuites under DTLS.
** libgnutls: [added missing news entry since 3.5.0]
No longer tolerate certificate key usage violations for
TLS signature verification, and decryption. That is GnuTLS will fail
to connect to servers which incorrectly use a restricted to signing
certificate for decryption, or vice-versa. This reverts the lax
behavior introduced in 3.1.0, due to several such broken servers
being available. The %COMPAT priority keyword can be used to work-
around connecting on these servers.
** certtool: When exporting a CRQ in DER format ensure no text data are
intermixed. Patch by Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov.
** certtool: Include the SHA-256 variant of key ID in --certificate-
info options.
** p11tool: Introduced the --initialize-pin and --initialize-so-pin
options.
