I am happy to announce GnuTLS 1.5.0, the first release on the current experimental branch. We recommend the 1.4.x branch for those looking for a stable version. One goal with the 1.5.x branch is to make Windows x86 a supported platform for GnuTLS. We do this by providing a binary Windows installer of GnuTLS, cross-compiled from GNU/Linux using MinGW and NSIS, see below. The installer is (lightly) tested on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It is possible to develop applications in Visual Studio or MinGW that links to the library. GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network applications. * Version 1.5.0 (released 2006-08-13) ** Change SRP and Cert-Type extensions to match IANA registry. ** Fixed bug in OpenPGP authentication handshake. ** Improvements for building under MinGW. Provides internal inet_ntop and inet_pton functions and arpa/inet.h header. Calls WSAStartup and WSACleanup in gnutls_global_init and gnutls_global_deinit, respectively. Loads getaddrinfo and getnameinfo at run-time from ws2_32.dll, and falls back on a simple replacement if it is not available. Builds the library with -mms-bitfields -Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc. Links with --output-def, to create *.def files, which are installed.(Continue reading)
