[pyOpenSSL] Announcing pyOpenSSL 0.11a1

[<ex...@tw...>]

Hello all,

I've just uploaded a number of 0.11a1 release files.  You can find them 
on <http://launchpad.net/pyopenssl>.

The focus of 0.11 is Python 3.x support.  The entire code base has been 
updated to be compatible with Python 3.x.  As this has been a somewhat 
significant undertaking (made possible thanks to support from the Python 
Software Foundation), testing of this alpha release will be particularly 
helpful in ensuring that no problems have crept in.

Even if you're not interested in Python 3.x support yourself, testing on 
your preferred version of Python 2.x (0.11 will support Python 2.4 
through Python 2.7) is useful too - to make sure the 3.x support hasn't 
caused any problems on 2.x!

Aside from 3.x support, this release also brings basic signature and 
signature verification support, contributed by James Yonan, based on 
Dave Cridland's code.

Several bugs, mainly in code for the error handling cases, in X509, 
X509Req, NetscapeSPKI, and Context have also been fixed.

In the quest for full test coverage, this release also raises the 
percent of lines executed by the test suite to 79.8% from about 62.5% 
for the last release.

Please give it a spin and let me know how it goes.
