tutorial, API reference and documentation updates); adds an ability to build
multiple xmlsec-crypto libraries in one build on Windows; fixes minor problems
in test suite and multiple warnings when building on Sun Solaris.
</li>
<br><li>August 21 2003<br>
The new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.1.1</a> release
adds <X509Data/> node templates support to xmlsec-nss (Tej);
includes new functions for reading keys and certificates from memory
for xmlsec-core and xmlsec-openssl (Joachim); fixes several problems
in xmlsec configuration files (Roumen) and a bug in URI attribute
XInclude processing.
</li>
<br><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
<a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.1.0</a>
release includes <X509Data/> 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>
<br><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>
<br><li>June 17 2003<br>
The <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.0.3</a>
release adds PKCS#8 support for xmlsec-openssl (Tej) and fixes several
configuration and portability problems.
</li>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<li>Minor Win32 bug fixes from Igor;</li>
<li>Debian port from John Belmonte.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<br><li>July 11 2002<br>
XML Security Library <a href="documentation.html">documentation</a>
created.
</li>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><li>April 17 2002<br>
Installed <a href="http://www.aleksey.com/pipermail/xmlsec">
xmlsec mailing list.</a>
</li>
<br><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>
<br><li>April 6 2002<br>
The <a href="download.html">RPM packages</a> are now available.
</li>
<br><li>April 5 2002<br>
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&threadm=96uofi%2417gh%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=2&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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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>
<br><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.
