Hello! We are pleased to announce version 1.2.0 of Libksba. Libksba is an X.509 and CMS (PKCS#7) library. It is for example required to build the S/MIME part of GnuPG-2 (gpgsm). The only build requirement for Libksba itself is the libgpg-error package. There are no other dependencies; actual cryptographic operations need to be done by the user. Libksba is distributed under the GPLv3+. There are no user tools accompanying this software, thus it is mostly relevant to developers. This release adds features required by the GnuPG 2.1 development version. You may download the library and its OpenPGP signature from: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/libksba-1.2.0.tar.bz2 (575k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/libksba-1.2.0.tar.bz2.sig Noteworthy changes in version 1.2.0 (2011-03-01) ------------------------------------------------ * New functions to allow the creation of X.509 certificates. * Interface changes relative to the 1.1.0 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ksba_certreq_set_serial NEW. ksba_certreq_set_issuer NEW. ksba_certreq_set_validity NEW. ksba_certreq_set_siginfo NEW.

We are always looking for interesting development projects. See also http://www.gnupg.org/service.html . Happy hacking, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Ausnahmen regelt ein Bundesgesetz.
