</li>
<br><li>September 30 2003<br>
The major change in the new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.2.0</a>
release is the MS Crypto API support implemented by Wouter. Other changes
include loading public keys from certificates and improved namespaces
support for start node selection with "--node-xpath" command line option
for xmlsec command line utility; updated online XML DSig Verifier;
updated docs and man pages.
</li>
<br><li>September 17 2003<br>
The new <a href="download.html">XML Security Library 1.1.2</a> release
introduces dynamical crypto engines loading based on ltdl library (including
tutorial, API reference and documentation updates); adds an ability to build
multiple xmlsec-crypto libraries in one build on Windows; fixes minor 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.
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>
<br><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:<br>
- added a way to specify "current time" to verify certificates
expiration against it;<br>
- implemented XML results output format for the xmlsec command
line utility;<br>
- fixed XMLDSig examples and added a new one (thanks to Devin
Heitmueller);<br>
- resolved static link issue and a bunch of other improvements
for Win32 platform builds (Igor Zlatkovic);<br>
- added dynamic linking option for xmlsec command line utility
to help Debian port (John Belmonte);<br>
- minor bug fixes.
