I've finally released Botan 1.3.12, mostly a bug fix release. There were a number of minor CRL handling bugs, and it's now possible to remove expired certificates from a CRL. There were also a few minor bugs in the PKCS #10 request code. I've renamed about half a dozen functions in X509_Certificate and PKCS10_Request; right now the old versions are still there, but I'll be removing them prior to 1.4.0, I think (check doc/deprecated.txt). Also the Hex_Decoder bug pointed out on the list has been fixed, and a large number of grammatical errors in the API doc (pointed out by Ken Perano), have been corrected. At this point I'm still hoping to release 1.4.0 sometime in late June or early July. It may end up slipping to August, but no later than that. The amount of time I have to work on Botan has been pretty limited since I started working fulltime, but, looking over the 1.3.x changelog, I've realized there hasn't been much in the way of new features; 1.3 has mostly been a massive internal cleanup with relatively few user-visible changes. I would kind of like there to be at least one new major feature in 1.4.0 that wasn't in 1.2.x, and I'm open to suggestions. Currently, I have the following possibilities: - ECDSA - OCSP - OpenPGP - CMS (S/MIME without the MIME) Anyone have any thoughts on any or all of the above? Would anyone use any of these if they were available? Any other things people would like to see? Etc... -Jack |
