This is scheduled to be the last release on the development branch. Unless I hear anything, I will release this as v2.0 on September 1th. Test this release as you would a new stable release! All feedback is welcome... is the documentation ok? Do the examples work? Is everything ready for a new stable release? Compare this to v1.6.3.
If you sent me a bug report that I haven't responded to, now is the time to re-send it! Preferably to the gnutls-dev list. This release also comes with an updated binary Windows installer, please test it as well. Below is the regular release announcement... * Version 1.7.17 (released 2007-08-15) ** New functions to perform external signing. Set the signing callback function (of the gnutls_sign_func prototype) using the gnutls_sign_callback_set function. In the callback, you may find the new functions gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash and gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash useful. A new function gnutls_sign_callback_get is also added, to retrieve the function pointer. Thanks to "Alon Bar-Lev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for comments and testing. ** New self test of client and server authenticated X.509 TLS sessions. See tests/x509self.c and tests/x509signself.c. The latter also tests the new external signing callback interface. ** New errors GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN..GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX. These two actually describe the outer limits of a range of error codes reserved to the application. All of the errors are treated as fatal by the library (it has to since it doesn't know the semantics of the error codes). This can be useful in callbacks, to signal some application-specific error condition, which will usually eventually cause some gnutls API to return the same error code as the callback, which then can be inspected by the application. Note that error codes are negative. ** gnutls_set_default_priority now disable TLS 1.2 by default. The RFC is not released yet, and we're approaching a major release so let's not enable it just yet. ** Fix namespace so that gnutls_*_t is used consistently. Before, many places in the GnuTLS code used the old deprecated type names without the '_t' suffix. ** Build fixes for Guile code. Patch from Ludovic Courtes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. ** More documentation fixes. In particular, the section headings were modified for casing. By Ludovic Courtes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. ** Updated Polish and Swedish translations. Thanks to Jakub Bogusz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Daniel Nylander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. ** API and ABI modifications: gnutls_sign_func: ADD, new type for sign callback. gnutls_sign_callback_set: ADD, new function to set sign callback. gnutls_sign_callback_get: ADD, new function to retrieve sign callback. gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash, gnutls_openpgp_privkey_sign_hash: ADD, new functions useful in sign callback. GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MIN, GNUTLS_E_APPLICATION_ERROR_MAX: ADD, new CPP #defines for error codes.

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 Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GnuTLS maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development projects. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details. /Simon
