* build: Demand gettext >= 0.18.1 in order to get newer M4 files.
The old M4 files associated with 0.17 caused problems on Solaris,
which will hopefully be fixed with this.
* doc: Typo fix in autoconf snippet.
* i18n: Updated translations.

(patch confirmed in upstream cvs)
* OpenSSL/crypto/x509.c: Add get_extension_count and get_extension
to the X509 type, allowing read access to certificate extensions.
* OpenSSL/crypto/x509ext.c: Add get_short_name and get_data to the
X509Extension type, allowing read access to the contents of an
extension.
* OpenSSL/ssl/ssl.c: Expose a number of symbolic constants for
values passed to the connection "info" callback.
* OpenSSL/ssl/connection.py: Add support for new-style
buffers (primarily memoryviews) to Connection.send and
Connection.sendall.
1. Add support for check and create ECDSA host key for SSH protocol
version 2.
2. Disable use of strnvis(3) on NetBSD. NetBSD current after 2011/03/12
has strnvis(3), but it has different argument from OpenBSD (and other
system).

- (dtucker) [contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config] From Corinna: revamp of the
Cygwin-specific service installer script ssh-host-config. The actual
functionality is the same, the revisited version is just more
exact when it comes to check for problems which disallow to run
certain aspects of the script. So, part of this script and the also
rearranged service helper script library "csih" is to check if all
the tools required to run the script are available on the system.
The new script also is more thorough to inform the user why the
script failed. Patch from vinschen at redhat com.

Changes since previous version:
version 0.9.4
- fixed possible memory corrution in oauth_curl_get
thanks to Bruce Rosen for reporting this issue
version 0.9.3
- yet more build-system fixes:
- allow to override HASH_LIBS and CURL_LIBS using envoronment variables
- include them in .pc and tests/Makefile.am
version 0.9.2
- fixed typo in build-system (LDFLAGS, -Wl,--as-needed detection)
version 0.9.1
- fixed typo in API:
oauth_time_indepenent_equals[_n] is now deprecated in favor of
oauth_time_independent_equals[_n]
- added check for 'Wl,--as-needed' linker flag.
version 0.9.0
- fixed typo in pkg-config file.
With thanks to Brad Harder for the nudge.
Tarsnap is a secure online backup service for BSD, Linux, OS X,
Solaris, Cygwin, and can probably be compiled on many other UNIX-like
operating systems. The Tarsnap client code provides a flexible and
powerful command-line interface which can be used directly or via
shell scripts.
Package zlib was not found in the pkg-config search path.
... there is no zlib.pc, so comment out the part of the configure
script that adds that to the pkg-config file.
Bump PKGREVISION.
* libgnutls: Several minor bugfixes.
* libgnutls: Restored HMAC-MD5 for compatibility. Although considered weak,
several sites require it for connection. It is enabled for "NORMAL" and
"PERFORMANCE" priority strings.
* libgnutls: depend on libdl.
* libgnutls: gnutls_transport_set_global_errno() was deprecated. Use your
system's errno fascility or gnutls_transport_set_errno().
* gnutls-cli: Correction with usage of select to check for pending data in
gnutls sessions. It now uses gnutls_record_check_pending().
* tests: More fixes and updates for win32. Patches by LRN.
* libgnutls: Several files unnecessarily included <gcrypt.h>; this has been
fixed.
** API and ABI modifications: gnutls_transport_set_global_errno: DEPRECATED
Changes 2.12.2:
* libgnutls: Several updates and fixes for win32. Patches by LRN.
* libgnutls: Several bug and memory leak fixes.
* srptool: Accepts the -d option to enable debugging.
* libgnutls: Corrected bug in gnutls_srp_verifier() that prevented the
allocation of a verifier. Reported by Andrew Wiseman.
Changes 2.12.1:

* libgnutls: Bug fixes in opencdk code. Reported by Vitaly Kruglikov.
* libgnutls: Corrected windows system_errno() function prototype.
* libgnutls: C++ compatibility fix for compat.h. Reported by Mark Brand.

GNUTLS_OPENPGP_KEYID_SIZE definition. Reported by Andreas Metzler.
or less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages
(C++, Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in
kernel space. In most contexts, you need more than the basic
cryptographic algorithms, you also need some way to keep track of available
algorithms, their properties and variants. You often have some algorithm
selection process, often dictated by a protocol you want to implement.
And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle and not so
subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can be a pain to use
in a different context. And that is why there are so many different
cryptographic libraries around.
Nettle tries to avoid this problem by doing one thing, the low-level
crypto stuff, and providing a simple but general interface to it.
In particular, Nettle doesn't do algorithm selection. It doesn't do
memory allocation. It doesn't do any I/O.
The idea is that one can build several application and context specific
interfaces on top of Nettle, and share the code, test cases, benchmarks,
documentation, etc. Examples are the Nettle module for the Pike
language, and LSH, which both use an object-oriented abstraction on top
of the library.
