The XML Security Library 1.0.0
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).
- April 10 2003
The final release candidate XML Security
Library 1.0.0rc1 is available for download. This release includes
minor API polishing,
complete API Reference Manual,
new chapters in the tutorial and
several new examples.
Another big change is using major version number in library files
to prevent collisions between different library versions.
If no major problems will be found then the 1.0.0 release should
happen in a week from now.
- April 8 2003
The new XML Security Library 0.0.15
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.

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).
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.
- February 21 2003
XML Security Library 0.0.13 release
fixes incorrect processing of signatures with more than 3 binary
transforms in a row, improved pkcs12 files support and minor
documentation update.
- January 26 2003
Two major fixes in HMAC and
DES/AES
algorithms are the reason for the new XML Security Library 0.0.12 release.
Also there are few other minor features and bug fixes (see Changelog in the
distribution for more details).
- December 3 2002
New XML Security Library 0.0.11 release
fixes a major
problem in Reference URI attribute processing. This release
also includes several Win32 build process fixes from Igor.
- 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.
