+Subject: GNU Libtasn1 2.11 released
<#part sign=pgpmime>
GNU Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1
objects including DER/BER encoding/decoding. GNU Libtasn1 is used by
GnuTLS to handle X.509 structures and by GNU Shishi to handle Kerberos
V5 structures.
-* Noteworthy changes in release 2.10 (2011-10-25) [stable]
-- lib: Small optimization, possibly working around gcc/valgrind issue.
-- build: Update gnulib files.
-- asn1Coding: actually implement the -c parameter.
-- asn1Decoding: the -c parameter serves no purpose, remove it.
-- doc: Add examples to asn1Coding and asn1Decoding description.
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.11 (2011-11-25) [stable]
+- qa: Now builds without compiler warnings with Solaris CC.
+- qa: Added clang analysis. Fixed cyclomatic complexity output.
+- tests: Added self-test of bit string functions.
+- build: Added windows/libtasn14win.mk rules to produce Windows binaries.
+- build: Don't hard code path to perl in doc/gdoc.
+- Various minor fixes.

+There is a known problem building this release on MinGW with MSVC as the
+compiler, fortunately there is a workaround available -- please see
