I am pleased to announce the release of libpkixpq 0.4, a major release.

NEW FEATURES
------------

 - documentation

 - support for PKCS7 asymmetric encrypted messages.
   (OpenPGP symmeric encryption support has been dropped, at
   least temporarily.)  The PKCS7 asymmetric encryption 
   includes support for recovery keys, but not for multiple
   recipients.

 - support for the OpenSSL TYPE_print functions as used 
   defined functions for the standard types,

 - a new text type, XML, which indicates X.509 certificates,
   X.509 CRLs (rsn), and public keys should be written or
   parsed as specified by the W3C XML Signature schema. 

   This means that the XML representation of a certificate
   can be intuitively obtained via a query such as:

     select cast(cert as xml) from certs where ...

   The corresponding input functions are not yet implemented.

 - the initial release of a JSP/JSP tags X.509 certificate
   repository, part of a CA tentatively named 'beastmark.'
   This repository can be searched in all manners covered by
   Gutman et al, and is designed to use XML natively (hence
   the prior item) and XSLT to convert results to the 
   appropriate format for the client - text/html,
   application/x509-certificate, application/x-x509-ca-cert,
   etc.
