./news/libcanlock, Standalone RFC 8315 Netnews Cancel-Lock implementation

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.3.0nb1, Package name: libcanlock-3.3.0nb1, Maintainer: micha

libcanlock is a library for creating and verifying RFC 8315 Netnews
Cancel-Locks. This implementation uses the recommended algorithm from
Section 4 with HMAC based on the same hash function as <scheme>.

A command line utility "canlock" is built together with the library.

Additional header parsers (for the receiving side) are available in the
package canlock-hp.

news/libcanlock: Use new variables to request a C99 compiler

Bump, because now the mode should always be set (if default is not C99).

- Bugfix: Potential NULL-pointer dereference fixed in canlock utility
  (Reported by Dennis Preiser)
- Bugfix: Multiple bugs in test suite fixed, where return values
  from library functions were not handled correctly
  (Reported by Dennis Preiser)
- Bugfix: Two memory leaks fixed in test suite for legacy API
  (Found by Valgrind)
- Bugfix: NAME sections of cl_clear_secret(), cl_get_lock(), cl_split()
  and cl_verify() man pages fixed

Changelog
=========

3.2.2      2021-01-07
           Bugfix: Header field name is not found by canlock-mhp if
            there is another header field for which only the prefix
            differs (and that other field is processed first)
           Test suite for canlock-mhp parser extended: It now tests
            headers larger than 4 KiByte and for the field prefix bug
            fixed in this version
           Lexer of canlock-hfp has problems to detect T_CTEXT tokens on
            HP-UX (relevant only if the header field contains comments).
            The syntax of the ERE for T_CTEXT was rewritten to be
            compatible with the SysV lex of HP-UX 11.11
           Test suite for canlock-hfp parser extended to test comments
            harder
           Namespace clash of internal library functions with libc on
            NetBSD
            Changed internal API function names hmac* to RFC2104Hmac*
            Changed internal API function names hkdf* to RFC5869Hkdf*
            Library API and ABI are fully compatible if no undocumented
            functions are used
           libcanlock-3.pc: Changed protocol in URL from http to https
