XML Security Library 0.1.1
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, new documentation,
updated examples
and many many other small things.
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!

XML Security Library 0.0.14 release
includes several minor bugfixes in references URI
processing, binary transforms processing and xmlsec
command line utility.
- March 5 2003
The XML Security Library 0.1.0 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).
The information about new library structure is available in an
architecture design overview.
This is a pre-alpha release not recommended for production
(please use the stable 0.0.X 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.

New XML Security Library 0.0.11 release

- October 20 2002
Almost two months from previous release and a lot of minor
enchancements are good reasons for the new
XML Security Library 0.0.10 release:
- added a way to specify "current time" to verify certificates
expiration against it;
- implemented XML results output format for the xmlsec command
line utility;
- fixed XMLDSig examples and added a new one (thanks to Devin
Heitmueller);
- resolved static link issue and a bunch of other improvements
for Win32 platform builds (Igor Zlatkovic);
- added dynamic linking option for xmlsec command line utility
to help Debian port (John Belmonte);
- minor bug fixes.
