We are proud to announce a new stable GnuTLS release: Version 2.10.2. GnuTLS is a modern C library that implements the standard network security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network applications. GnuTLS is developed for GNU/Linux, but works on many Unix-like systems and comes with a binary installer for Windows.
The GnuTLS library is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (or later). The "extra" GnuTLS library (which contains TLS/IA support, LZO compression and Libgcrypt FIPS-mode handler), the OpenSSL compatibility library, the self tests and the command line tools are all distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (or later). The manual is distributed under the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.3 (or later). The project page of the library is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ What's New ========== ** Use Libtool 2.2.10 to ease MinGW64 builds. ** libgnutls: Add new extended key usage ipsecIKE. ** libgnutls: Is now more liberal in the PEM decoding. That is spaces and tabs are being skipped. ** libgnutls: Renamed NULL MAC to MAC-NULL to prevent clash with NULL cipher. This prevented the usage of the TLS ciphersuites with NULL cipher. See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/2093>. ** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the TLS spec. ** libgnutls: Fix asynchronous API handling. The code was clearing session hash data on EAGAIN. Problem reported by Sjoerd Simons <[email protected]> and Vivek Dasmohapatra <[email protected]>. See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/4531>. ** gnutls-cli: Flush stdout/stderr before removing buffering. Reported by Knut Anders Hatlen see <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107481>. ** API and ABI modifications: No changes since last version. Getting the Software ==================== GnuTLS may be downloaded from one of the GNU mirror sites or directly From <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/>. The list of GNU mirrors can be found at <http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html> and a list of GnuTLS mirrors can be found at <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/download.html>. Here are the BZIP2 compressed sources (7.2MB): ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2 Here are OpenPGP detached signatures signed using key 0xB565716F: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2.sig http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2.sig Note, that we don't distribute gzip compressed tarballs. In order to check that the version of GnuTLS which you are going to install is an original and unmodified one, you should verify the OpenPGP signature. You can use the command gpg --verify gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2.sig This checks whether the signature file matches the source file. You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and made by that signing key. Make sure that you have the right key, either by checking the fingerprint of that key with other sources or by checking that the key has been signed by a trustworthy other key. The signing key can be identified with the following information: pub 1280R/B565716F 2002-05-05 [expires: 2011-03-30] Key fingerprint = 0424 D4EE 81A0 E3D1 19C6 F835 EDA2 1E94 B565 716F uid Simon Josefsson <[email protected]> uid Simon Josefsson <[email protected]> sub 1280R/4D5D40AE 2002-05-05 [expires: 2011-03-30] The key is available from: http://josefsson.org/key.txt dns:b565716f.josefsson.org?TYPE=CERT Alternatively, after successfully verifying the OpenPGP signature of this announcement, you could verify that the files match the following checksum values. The values are for SHA-1 and SHA-224 respectively: 2704b7b86fc5e3444afcf20feb7bc9ff117d4816 gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2 d0a6c3f658da5dd6c74d9cf24ddf4b2b6bb4dd73c28d64c4053997c9 gnutls-2.10.2.tar.bz2 Documentation ============= The manual is available online at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/documentation.html In particular the following formats are available: HTML: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/index.html PDF: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/gnutls.pdf For developers there is a GnuTLS API reference manual formatted using the GTK-DOC tools: HTML: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/reference/gnutls-gnutls.html PDF: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/reference/gnutls.pdf Community ========= 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 If you wish to participate in the development of GnuTLS, you are invited to join our gnutls-dev mailing list, see: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-devel Windows installer ================= GnuTLS has been ported to the Windows operating system, and a binary installer is available. The installer contains DLLs for application development, manuals, examples, and source code. The versions included are libgpg-error v1.8, libgcrypt v1.4.6, and GnuTLS v2.10.2.

We welcome the addition of more translations. Support ======= 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 AB, 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. The GnuTLS service directory is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/commercial.html Happy Hacking, Simon
