+</li>
+<li>August 5 2003<br>
+ A great patch from Tej that dramaticaly improves xmlsec-nss functionality
+ deserves a minor version number update :). In addition to that, the new

+ release includes &lt;X509Data/&gt; node templates support
+ for xmlsec-openssl (Roumen); separate pkg-config files for xmlsec-crypto
+ libraries and minor documentation updates (including coding style
+ and some useful commands for xmlsec developers in a new "HACKING"
+ file).
+</li>
+<li>July 15 2003<br>
+ There were several minor patches during last month and it's time to do
+ a new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.0.4</a>
+ release to pick up them: x509 certificates names comparison function
+ now supports multiple entries woth the same object name (Roumen);
+ multiple build fixes; documentation mistypes fixes.<br>
+ Also I gave an XML Security presentation at
+ <a href="http://oreillynet.com/oscon2003/">OSCON 2003</a> last week.
+ You can download slides <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/extra/xmlsec_oscon_2003.ppt">here</a>.
+</li>
+<li>June 17 2003<br>

+</li>
+<li>June 03 2003<br>
+ The <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.0.2</a>
+ release includes several fixes in xmlsec-nss configuration and
+ linking options (Tej), PKCS21 files reading improvements,
+ minor documentation and help file fixes. Also this release
+ includes some code for XKMS support. This is absolutely not usable
+ right now and not configured in by default. Please, don't
+ use or even compile it in.
+</li>
+<li>April 28 2003<br>
+ The <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.0.1</a>
+ release is a maintanance release. It fixes several compilation
+ problems found in 1.0.0 release on the following platforms:
+ OpenBSD/sparc64, Win32 Wacom C, Sun Workshop CC 6.0. Also from
+ now on Win32 MSVC port enables the threading support
+ by default (this is a part of the Igor's change to
+ LibXML2/LibXSLT/XMLSec libraries).If you don't
+ use one of these platforms then you'll see no difference.
+</li>
+<li>April 17 2003<br>
+ The <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.0.0</a>
+ release is the major upgrade from 0.0.X version.
+ The new version includes multiple crypto engines support
+ (with "out of the box" support for OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS);
+ simplified and cleaned internal structure and API;
+ several performance and memory usage improvements;
+ new or updated documentation (tutorial, API reference manual and
+ examples).
+</li>
+<li>April 10 2003<br>
+ The final release candidate <a href="download.html">XML Security
+ Library 1.0.0rc1</a> is available for download. This release includes
+ minor API polishing,
+ complete <a href="api/xmlsec-ref.html">API Reference Manual</a>,
+ new chapters in the <a href="api/xmlsec-notes.html">tutorial</a> and
+ several new <a href="api/xmlsec-examples.html">examples</a>.
+ Another big change is using major version number in library files
+ to prevent collisions between different library versions.<br>
+ If no major problems will be found then the 1.0.0 release should
+ happen in a week from now.
+ </li>
+<li>April 8 2003<br>
+ The new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.15</a>
+ release is a preparation for the upcomming 1.0.0 release and
+ provides an ability to have both versions installed together
+ on the same box.
+ Also this release includes updated expired certificates for
+ the regression test suite and a fix for minor bug in reading binary
+ keys on Windows.
+ </li>
+<li>March 26 2003<br><a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.1.1</a>
+ release is the first release candidate for the new stable
+ version of XML Security Library. A lot of internal changes
+ including enchanced processing controls, performance improvements
+ for XML transforms, <a href="api/index.html">new documentation</a>,
+ updated <a href="api/xmlsec-examples.html">examples</a>
+ and many many other small things.<br>
+ Please try this release and report bugs. Again, it's the first
+ release candidate and it's very important for me to get your
+ feedback about it. Also if you are missing some features
+ in the library it's the best time to ask!
+</li>
+<li>March 19 2003<br><a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.14</a> release
+ includes several minor bugfixes in references URI
+ processing, binary transforms processing and xmlsec
+ command line utility.
+</li>
+<li>March 5 2003<br>
+ The <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.1.0</a> release
+ creates a framework for integrating XML Security Library
+ with almost any crypto engine and even combining multiple crypto
+ engines in one application. As an example, basic support for GnuTLS and NSS
+ libraries is provided (digests, hmac and block ciphers).<br>
+ This is a pre-alpha release <b>not recommended</b> for production
+ (please use the <a href="download.html">stable 0.0.X</a> releases
+ instead). The new 0.1.X API and ABI will defenetly change.
+ However, if you plan to use XML Security Library with a new crypto
+ engine and plan to write some code then you can start now.
+ The "backend" API is pretty stable and I do not expect major
+ changes.
+</li>
+<li>February 21 2003<br><a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.13</a> release
+ fixes incorrect processing of signatures with more than 3 binary
+ transforms in a row, improved pkcs12 files support and minor
+ documentation update.
+</li>
+<li>January 26 2003<br>
+ Two major fixes in <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/pipermail/xmlsec/2003/000507.html">HMAC</a> and
+ <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/pipermail/xmlsec/2003/000516.html">DES/AES</a>
+ algorithms are the reason for the new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.12</a> release.
+ Also there are few other minor features and bug fixes (see Changelog in the
+ distribution for more details).
+</li>
+<li>December 3 2002<br>
+ New <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.11</a> release
+ fixes a <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/pipermail/xmlsec/2002/000368.html">major
+ problem</a> in Reference URI attribute processing. This release
+ also includes several Win32 build process fixes from Igor.
+</li>
+<li>October 20 2002<br>
+ Almost two months from previous release and a lot of minor
+ enchancements are good reasons for the new
+ <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.10</a> release:
+ <ul>
+<li>Added a way to specify "current time" to verify certificates
+ expiration against it;</li>
+ <li>Implemented XML results output format for the xmlsec command
+ line utility;</li>
+ <li>Fixed XMLDSig examples and added a new one (thanks to Devin
+ Heitmueller);</li>
+ <li>Resolved static link issue and a bunch of other improvements
+ for Win32 platform builds (Igor Zlatkovic);</li>
+ <li>Added dynamic linking option for xmlsec command line utility
+ to help Debian port (John Belmonte);</li>
+ <li>Minor bug fixes.</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>August 26 2002<br>
+ I've completelly screwed up. The release 0.0.8 was totally broken
+ (I've simply packaged files from wrong CVS :) )
+ and I am doing a new <a href="download.html">0.0.9 release</a>
+ to fix all the problems. Please upgrade to the new version
+ if you use any of previous XML Security Library releases.<br>
+ I am really sorry for my stupid mistakes and I promise to never
+ do releases on Friday :(<br>
+ And special thanks to Ferrell Moultrie for pointing this out.
+</li>
+<li>August 23 2002<br><a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.8</a> is released:
+ <ul>
+<li>New errors reporting system is created and all the code is updated;</li>
+ <li>Added XPointer transform support;</li>
+ <li>Major enveloped and XPath transforms performance improvements;</li>
+ <li>Updated XPath 2 Filter implementation to reflect latest W3C specifications;</li>
+ <li>
+<a href="xmlsec-man.html">Man page</a> for xmlsec utility is written;</li>
+ <li>Automatically generated <a href="documentation.html">API Reference</a>
+</li>
+ <li>Manual (more than 370 symbols) is created;</li>

+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>July 11 2002<br>
+ XML Security Library <a href="documentation.html">documentation</a>
+ created.
+</li>
+<li>July 10 2002<br>
+ A new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.7</a> release
+ includes all small bug fixes for last month and a new LibXML2 library
+ with improved canonicalization.
+</li>
+<li>May 28 2002<br>
+ New LibXML 2.4.22 is <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/news.html">released</a>
+ and new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.6</a> is
+ released:
+ <ul>
+<li>Win32 port is added: the idea and most of the configuration scripts
+ code was taken from LibXML2 (written by Igor Zlatkovic). I modified
+ original files so all errors are mine, not Igor's.</li>
+ <li>Many different performance optimizations (especially for RSA/DSA
+ algorithms and enveloped signatures).</li>
+ <li>
+<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-filter2/">XPath Filter 2</a>
+ and <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-ietf-xmldsig/2002AprJun/0001.html">Alternative
+ XPath Filter</a> (not compiled by default, use --enable-altxpath configuration
+ switch if you need this transform) support is added. </li>
+ <li>Custom network protocol handler support is added. It is similar
+ to custom protocol handlers in LibXML2 but applied to binary files.</li>
+ <li>Separated XML Security Library RPM into xmlsec and xmlsec-devel
+ (suggested by Devin Heitmueller).</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>May 14 2002<br>
+ I've checked in new code for plugging in custom input handlers
+ (similar to ones that exist in LibXML2). The downside is that
+ you have to use <a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/cvs-snapshot.tar.gz">daily
+ LibXML2 snapshot</a> to compile daily XML Security Library snapshot.
+</li>
+<li>April 28 2002<br><a href="download.html">XMLSec 0.0.5</a> released:
+ <ul>
+<li>Big external and internal cleanup. Now the API looks much more consistent
+ and I hope simple. I hope to declare API frozen in the next couple weeks.
+ Meantime, all comments and suggestions are welcome!</li>
+ <li>Added <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/#sec-Alg-SymmetricKeyWrap">
+ symmetric key wrap</a> (aes, des) support.</li>
+ <li>Added RIPEMD-160 support.</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>April 19 2002<br>
+ Minor release <a href="download.html">XMLSec 0.0.4</a> with main
+ goal to fix broken RPM:
+ <ul>
+<li>The RPM is recompiled using OpenSSL 0.9.6. The previous
+ version was compiled with OpenSSL 0.9.7 but I got few complains
+ that there are no RPMs for 0.9.7 yet. The downsides of using 0.9.6 are
+ some functionality limitations for XML Encryption (no AES support,
+ incorrect padding mode for DES, etc.). If you want to use
+ XML Encryption it is better to compile the library from sources
+ and use OpenSSL 0.9.7</li>
+ <li>The testDSig, testEnc and testKeys scripts merged into standalone
+ "xmlsec" application.</li>
+ <li>A couple minor bugs fixed.</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>April 17 2002<br>
+ Installed <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/pipermail/xmlsec">
+ xmlsec mailing list.</a>
+</li>
+<li>April 16 2002<br>
+ A lot of changes and time for new release <a href="download.html">XMLSec 0.0.3</a>:
+ <ul>
+<li>The first release that includes <a href="xmlenc.html">XML Encryption support</a>!
+ The bad news is that most of new features require <a href="download.html">OpenSSL 0.9.7</a> which is
+ not officially released yet.</li>
+ <li>Options to enable/disable support for particular algorithms were
+ added to the <code>./configure</code> script.</li>
+ <li>All transforms header files were consolidated in "transforms.h".</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>April 6 2002<br>
+ The <a href="download.html">RPM packages</a> are now available.

+ Test suite updates and new minor release <a href="download.html">XML
+ Security Library 0.0.2a.</a><br>
+ New <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-ietf-xmldsig/2002AprJun/0017.html">
+ interoperability tests</a>
+ were provided by Merlin Hughes. XML Security Library successfully passed
+ <b>all tests </b>after small test program tweaking and adding workaround
+ for <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&amp;threadm=96uofi%2417gh%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&amp;rnum=2&amp;prev=/groups%3Fq%3DX509_STORE_add_crl%26hl%3Den%26selm%3D96uofi%252417gh%25241%2540FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw%26rnum%3D2">
+ OpenSSL CRL problem.</a>
+ These new tests are included into the distribution and previous Merlin's
+ test suites are removed. Because of these changes I decided to generate
+ a new package that also will include the <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/xmldsig-verifier.html">Online
+ XML Digital Signature Verifier</a> code.
+</li>
+<li>April 3 2002<br>
+ The <a href="http://www%2Caleksey.com/xmlsec/xmldsig-verifier.html">Online XML
+ Digital Signature Verifier</a> is available! You can use this tool to
+ verify your XML Digital Signatures from online Web form or using a simple
+ Perl script. The idea was stolen from <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-ietf-xmldsig/2002AprJun/0006.html">Manoj K.
+ Srivastava.</a>
+</li>
+<li>March 31 2002<br>
+ Some major changes and a time for new release: <a href="download.html">XML Security
+ Library 0.0.2</a>. Now XML Security Library supports <b>all</b> MUST/SHOULD/MAY
+ <a href="xmldsig-interop.html">features</a> from XMLDSig standard!
+ <ul>
+<li>Added X509 certificates and certificate chains support</li>
+ <li>The detailed signature generation/verification results are made available
+ to the application</li>
+ <li>RetrievalMethod, Manifests and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-eastlake-xmldsig-uri-02.txt">additional
+ algorithms</a> are added</li>
+ <li>The Transforms and KeyInfo code was significantly re-writen with a goal
+ to separate it from XMLDSig logic for better re-usability (in XML Encryption,
+ etc.)</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>March 18 2002<br><ul>
+<li>Fixed wrong way shift of the DSA digest result bug found by Philipp
+ Gühring. This bug is critical and I have to do a <a href="download/xmlsec-0.0.1a.tar.gz">new
+ build.</a>
+</li>
+ <li>Added "--with-pedantic" configuration option and fixed all but "unused
+ variable" warnings (bug reported by Daniel Veillard).</li>
+ </ul>
+</li>
+<li>March 17 2002<br>
+ The <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 0.0.1</a> is released
+ and available for download! Please try it out and send
+ me your comments/suggestions.
