and OpenSSL. The library
was created with a goal to support major XML security standards:
XML Security Library is released under the
MIT Licence
see the Copyright file in the distribution for details.
News (all news)

Minor release XMLSec 0.0.4 with main
goal to fix broken RPM:
- 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
- The testDSig, testEnc and testKeys scripts merged into standalone
"xmlsec" application.
- A couple minor bugs fixed.

A lot of changes and time for new release XMLSec 0.0.3:
- The first release that includes XML Encryption support!
The bad news is that most of new features require OpenSSL 0.9.7 which is
not officially released yet.
- Options to enable/disable support for particular algorithms were
added to the ./configure script.
- All transforms header files were consolidated in transforms.h
- April 6 2002
The RPM packages
are now available.

Test suite updates and new minor release XML Security Library 0.0.2a.
New
interoperability tests
were provided by Merlin Hughes. XML Security Library successfully passed
all tests after small test program tweaking and adding workaround
for
OpenSSL CRL problem.
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
Online XML Digital Signature Verifier
code.
- April 3 2002
The Online XML Digital Signature Verifier
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
Manoj K. Srivastava.
