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>

</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

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

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

expiration against it;

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>

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>

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.

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="xmldsig-verifier.html">
Online
XML Digital Signature Verifier
</a> code.
</li>
<br>
<li>
April 3, 2002<br>
The <a href="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">

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
G�hring. 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).
