libtasn1 NEWS:
==============
  
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.2 (released 2014-09-15) [stable]
- Added sanity checks in the decoding of time when
  ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER is used.
- Fixes in the decoding of OCTET STRING when close to the end
  of the structure.

* Noteworthy changes in release 4.1 (released 2014-08-23) [stable]
- Corrected indefinite tag check in ANY constructions. That allows
  the decoding of BER-encoded structures that contain indefinite
  encoding within an ANY element.
- Added DER decoding flag ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER. Over the
  years BER functionality was added to the decoder and this flag
  provides the way to disable it.
- API and ABI changes since last version:
  ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER: New definition

* Noteworthy changes in release 4.0 (released 2014-06-26) [stable]
- Optimized asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(). It no longer requires the
  additional decoding step.
- asn1_read_value() understands the ?CURRENT keyword, which can be used
  to indicate the current element of a sequence, when the provided node
  is a sequence element.
- Several optimizations in DER decoding of structures with sequences
  containing many elements.
- asn1_der_decoding2() is introduced and allows flags to be passed on
  the decoding process. Currently only ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_ALLOW_PADDING is
  defined and that allows decoding DER structures that contain arbitrary
  data past their end. Contributed by Karel Slany.
- API and ABI changes since last version:
  ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_ALLOW_PADDING: New definition
  asn1_dup_node: New function
  asn1_der_decoding2: New function
  asn1_der_decoding_element: It is now an alias to asn1_der_decoding

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.6 (released 2014-05-25) [stable]
- Corrected an off-by-one error in ASN.1 DER tag decoding.
- Several improvements and new safety checks on DER decoding;
  issues found using Codenomicon TLS test suite.
- Marked asn1_der_decoding_element() as deprecated. Use
  asn1_der_decoding() instead.

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.5 (released 2014-05-01) [stable]
- Correctly handle decoding of recursive CHOICE options.
- Allow deleting elements of SET OF. Patch by Jean-Louis Thekekara.
- Several small bug fixes found by coverity.
- Code improvements contributed by Kurt Roeckx.

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (released 2013-11-25) [stable]
- Added asn1_delete_structure2() which allows zeroizing the contents
  of all values in the structure prior to deinitialization.
- The parser accepts negative numbers in an INTEGER range (but
  still does no enforce them).
