The changes are as follows:

A Win32 GUI menu was added to save cached peer certificate chains. The Win32
"-exit" commandline option was added to stop stunnel when it is not running as a
service. File version information was added to stunnel.exe. 2048-bit DH
hardcoded parameters are used as a fallback if DH parameters are not provided in
stunnel.pem. The default "ciphers" value was updated to prefer ECDH. The default
ECDH curve was updated to "prime256v1". Support for temporary RSA keys (used in
obsolete export ciphers) was removed.

Project description:

The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between
remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. It can be used to
add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP2, POP3, and IMAP
servers without any changes in the programs' code. It will negotiate an SSL
connection using the OpenSSL or SSLeay libraries. It calls the underlying crypto
libraries, so stunnel supports whatever cryptographic algorithms you compiled
into your crypto package.
