gnoMint 1.0.0, aka "Minted gnoMint", released
I'm pleased to announce the 1.0.0 version "Minted gnoMint" of gnoMint: a graphical X.509 Certification Authority management tool.This version is the first stable release of gnoMint.This version includes some bug fixes and improvements over the 0.9.9 release candidate version:Added a new full Russian translation, thanks to Aquanaut. Added Finnish translation. Other updated translations: Spanish, Slovak. Added forgotten crlgen function to gnomint-cli text-based interface. Fix compilation with GnuTLS 2.8.0. While creating a new certificate, the program now checks if new cert expiration date is after the CA expiration date. In that case, the program shows an info message and set the new cert expiration date to the CA expiration date.

gnoMint 0.9.9 released
I'm pleased to announce the 0.9.9 version of gnoMint: a graphicalX.509 Certification Authority management tool.This version includes a major code clean-up, and some interesting new features:* Now, gnoMint is able to import CAs that have been generated with the managing scripts included in OpenSSL (as CA.pl and openssl ca). This support is added to the already existing support for importing CAs generated by TinyCA.* Updated translations from launchpad.net: added new BrazilianPortuguese translation.* A new, more secure, cyphering method (based on AES) has beenincluded for protecting passwords and private keys. The program isfully compatible with old method. For forcing the protection of thewhole database with the new-method, change the database password.* New graphic and fully functional toolbar.Some bugs have been fixed too:* Fixed an architecture depending function that could give someproblems in other architectures distinct to x86.* Removed libgnomeui useless dependence.* Fixed problem while importing certification authority if there werecertificates in the database generated by the imported one.* Fixed problem while exporting a CSR private key.* Fixed problems while recovering from failures when opening, creating or saving databases.* Ensuring GTK+-2.10 compatibility.This version is the last expected beta release before final gnoMint1.0 version. Please, test this 0.9.9 release more as it rightnow the 1.0.0 will be exactly identical to it (except version number).If 0.9.9 is not working as you would like the final 1.0.0 to work, nowis the time to say so!

gnoMint 0.9.0, aka "Command-line & Conquer-line", released
I'm pleased to announce the 0.9.0 version, aka "Command-line & Conquer-line", of gnoMint: a graphical X.509 Certification Authority management tool.
This version adds a full brand-new command-line interface: gnomint-cli. This interface allows any action over a gnoMint database, getting its orders through standard input. Now gnoMint is fully scriptable, so, for example, you will be able to enter a new cron task for creating your CRLs in scheduled time, or to create a bunch of new certificates from a list of employees.
About gnoMint:
==============
gnoMint is a tool for an easy creation and management of Certification Authorities. It allows a fancy visualization of all the pieces that conform a CA: x509 certificates, CSRs, CRLs...
Currently, it allows the creation of CAs, CSRs and Certificates, and export both public and private parts of them into PEM formatted files.
It manages the revocation of the created certificates, as well as the creation of CRLs.
gnoMint is now perfectly usable for managing a CA that emits certificates able to:
Authenticate people or machines in VPNs (IPSec or other protocols); Secure HTTP communications with SSL/TLS secured web servers; Authenticate and cipher HTTP communications through web-client certificates; Sign and/or crypt e-mails
For compiling it, its dependencies are:
GTK+ 2.10 or newer; Gnome; SQLite 3; libGnuTLS 2.0 or newer.
More information in http://gnomint.sourceforge.net
You can get the tarball from sourceforge mirrors:

gnoMint 0.5.0 released
I'm pleased to announce the 0.5.0 version of gnoMint: a graphical
X.509 Certification Authority managing tool.
This version adds some interesting features:
* Multiple CA support. Now, each gnoMint database is able to keep and
manage several CAs and their generated certificates. These
certificates can be other CAs. It's possible to have a multi-rooted
database, with several self-signed CA certificates.
* Support for 20-byte serial certificates, according to RFC5280.
* Support for inherit subject fields from certification authorities,
depending on each CA policy.
* Detailed certificate view (thanks to Ahmed Baizid <ahmed@baizid.org>).
* French translation (also by Ahmed Baizid <ahmed@baizid.org>).
* Now, a default database ~/.gnomint/default.gnomint is opened if no
other indication is given.
* It now registers a new mime type for gnoMint databases, so they can
be loaded with double-click.
Several bugs has been fixed:
* There was a discrepancy between the shown serial number and the
serial number kept in the certificates. Now it's fixed, and the serial
number is shown as in other programs. This can produce very high
numbers while loading previously-created gnoMint databases, but
backwards support is kept.
* There was a problem when signing a CSR whose private key had been
extracted from the database: the link between the new resulting
certificate and the file keeping the private key got lost. Fixed now.
