Hello,

We have just released gnutls-3.7.5. This is a bug fix and enhancement release on the 3.7.x branch.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed in this release:
Tim Kosse, Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa, Brian Wickman, František Krenželok, Andreas Metzler, Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Pedro Monreal, Tobias Heider, Sam James, Daiki Ueno and Zoltan Fridrich

The detailed list of changes follows:

* Version 3.7.5 (released 2022-05-15)

** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS_TLS12 flag and %NO_TICKETS_TLS12 priority     modifier have been added to disable session ticket usage in TLS 1.2 because     it does not provide forward secrecy (#477). On the other hand, since session     tickets in TLS 1.3 do provide forward secrecy, the PFS priority string now     only disables session tickets in TLS 1.2. Future backward incompatibility:
    in the next major release of GnuTLS, we plan to remove those flag and
    modifier, and make GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS and %NO_TICKETS only affect TLS 1.2.

** gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv: Channel binding for printing information
    has been changed from tls-unique to tls-exporter as tls-unique is
    not supported in TLS 1.3.

** libgnutls: Certificate sanity checks has been enhanced to make
    gnutls more RFC 5280 compliant (!1583).
    Following changes were included:
- critical extensions are parsed when loading x509
      certificate to prohibit any random octet strings.
      Requires strict-x509 configure option to be enabled
    - garbage bits in Key Usage extension are prohibited
- empty DirectoryStrings in Distinguished name structures
      of Issuer and Subject name are prohibited

** libgnutls: Removed 3DES from FIPS approved algorithms (#1353).
    According to the section 2 of SP800-131A Rev.2, 3DES algorithm
    will be disallowed for encryption after December 31, 2023:
    https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-131a/rev-2/final

** libgnutls: Optimized support for AES-SIV-CMAC algorithms (#1217, #1312).
    The existing AEAD API that works in a scatter-gather fashion
    (gnutls_aead_cipher_encryptv2) has been extended to support AES-SIV-CMAC.     For further optimization, new function (gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key) has been
    added to set key on the existing AEAD handle without re-allocation.

** libgnutls: HKDF and AES-GCM algorithms are now approved in FIPS-140 mode
    when used in TLS (#1311).

** The configure arguments for Brotli and Zstandard (zstd) support
    have changed to reflect the previous help text: they are now
    --with-brotli/--with-zstd respectively (#1342).

** Detecting the Zstandard (zstd) library in configure has been
    fixed (#1343).

** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_NO_TICKETS_TLS12: New flag
gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key: New function
