$Id$ NEWS for SoftHSM -- History of user visible changes SoftHSM 1.1.2 - 2009-12-21 * Documentation on how to do backup. * Limiting the number of concurrent sessions to 256, because SQLite has a limit on the number of database connections. * Install a sample of the configuration file. * Manual pages are now available for softhsm, softhsm-keyconv, and softhsm.conf * Bugfix: --enable-64bit configure option did not work correctly. * KNOWN BUG: A version of Botan available in some OS has a problem with the entropy. This causes SoftHSM to freeze in some operations. Please upgrade to the Botan 1.8.5 or greater. SoftHSM 1.1.1 - 2009-12-04 * Bugfix: Signing could not be done when another application had a lock on the database. * Bugfix: Check if a session were able to create a connection to the database. * KNOWN BUG: A version of Botan available in some OS has a problem with the entropy. This causes SoftHSM to freeze in some operations. Please upgrade to the Botan 1.8.5 or greater. SoftHSM 1.1.0 - 2009-11-02 * The tool softhsm-keyconv can convert keys between BIND key file format and PKCS#8 file format. So it can be imported to SoftHSM. It can also convert back to BIND format. * C_FindObjectsInit is now up to 80 % faster. * KNOWN BUG: A version of Botan available in some OS has a problem with the entropy. This causes SoftHSM to freeze in some operations. Please upgrade to the Botan 1.8.5 or greater. SoftHSM 1.0.0 - 2009-09-30 * Using /usr/local, /etc, and /var as default * Improved the performance of creating keys * Log error message if database cannot be opened * KNOWN BUG: A version of Botan available in some OS has a problem with the entropy. This causes SoftHSM to freeze in some operations. Please upgrade to the Botan 1.8.5 or greater. SoftHSM 1.0.0-RC3 - 2009-08-26 * Vacuum the empty space in the database when initializing it * Minor speed improvment when searching for objects * Fixed build problem with GCC >= 4.3 * Fixed some linking problem * KNOWN BUG: A version of Botan available in some OS has a problem with the entropy. This causes SoftHSM to freeze in some operations. Please upgrade to the Botan 1.8.5 or greater. SoftHSM 1.0.0-RC2 - 2009-07-08 * Added a check for the Botan library in config script * SoftHSM will not add a default label/ID to a key pair when the key pair is generated, as were the case in the previous versions. * Improved database handling * New database schema. Is not compliant with previous versions. * Comments can be added to the config file by using # * The default location of the config file is $sysconfdir/softhsm.conf * Simplified the configure options * The softhsm tool initialize the tokens by using the library. * Import keys via PKCS#11 and the softhsm tool. * Export keys via the softhsm tool SoftHSM 1.0.0-RC1 - 2009-03-10 * Versioning moved to the configure script * This is release candidate 1 SoftHSM 0.5 - 2009-02-20 * Admin tool for creating tokens. * Config file in /etc/softhsm.conf * All session objects are removed when the session creating them are closed. * User credentials as specified in PKCS#11 SoftHSM 0.4 - 2009-02-10 * Only one library is compiled (libsofthsm.so). The log level is defined by using the flag --with-loglevel SoftHSM 0.3 - 2009-02-03 * A better mutex handling. Each PKCS#11 function call is treated as atomic functions. The mutex handling is activated when given correct parameters to the init function. SoftHSM 0.2 - 2009-01-23 * Two libraries are compiled. One normal (libsofthsm.so) and one for debugging (libsofthsm.d.so). The debug info is saved in the syslog. SoftHSM 0.1 - 2009-01-21 * Starting point of the NEWS file. * Have an interface to the user in accordance with PKCS#11. * This file will be properly maintained when we start releasing the source code.
