stunnel 4.38 released
by Michal Trojnara 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Dear Users, I have just released version 4.38 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.38, 2011.06.28, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - Server-side SNI implemented (RFC 3546 section 3.1) with a new service-level option "nsi". - "socket" option also accepts "yes" and "no" for flags. - Nagle's algorithm is now disabled by default for improved interactivity. * Bugfixes - A compilation fix was added for OpenSSL version < 1.0.0. - Signal pipe set to non-blocking mode. This bug caused hangs of stunnel features based on signals, e.g. local mode, FORK threading, or configuration file reload on Unix. Win32 platform was not affected.

stunnel 4.37 released
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Dear Users, I have just released version 4.37 of stunnel. This release is mainly intended to fix bugs and portability issues introduced in versions 4.35 and 4.36. This version also provides new security defaults, updated to better match current best practices in cryptographic applications. The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.37, 2011.06.17, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - Client-side SNI implemented (RFC 3546 section 3.1). - Default "ciphers" changed from the OpenSSL default to a more secure and faster "RC4-MD5:HIGH:!aNULL:!SSLv2". A paranoid (and usually slower) setting would be "HIGH:!aNULL:! SSLv2". - Recommended "options = NO_SSLv2" added to the sample stunnel.conf file. - Default client method upgraded from SSLv3 to TLSv1. To connect servers without TLS support use "sslVersion = SSLv3" option. - Improved --enable-fips and --disable-fips ./configure option handling. - On startup stunnel now compares the compiled version of OpenSSL against the running version of OpenSSL. A warning is logged on mismatch. * Bugfixes - Non-blocking socket handling in local mode fixed (Debian bug #626856). - UCONTEXT threading mode fixed. - Removed the use of gcc Thread-Local Storage for improved portability. - va_copy macro defined for platforms that do not have it. - Fixed "local" option parsing on IPv4 systems. - Solaris compilation fix (redefinition of "STR").

The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.36, 2011.05.03, urgency: LOW: * New features - Updated Win32 DLLs for OpenSSL 1.0.0d. - Dynamic memory management for strings manipulation: no more static STRLEN limit, lower stack footprint. - Strict public key comparison added for "verify = 3" certificate checking mode (thx to Philipp Hartwig). - Backlog parameter of listen(2) changed from 5 to SOMAXCONN: improved behavior on heavy load. - Example tools/stunnel.service file added for systemd service manager. * Bugfixes - Missing pthread_attr_destroy() added to fix memory leak (thx to Paul Allex and Peter Pentchev). - Fixed the incorrect way of setting FD_CLOEXEC flag. - Fixed --enable-libwrap option of ./configure script. - /opt/local added to OpenSSL search path for MacPorts compatibility. - Workaround implemented for signal handling on MacOS X. - A trivial bug fixed in the stunnel.init script. - Retry implemented on EAI_AGAIN error returned by resolver calls.

What legal issues come up if I use GPL-incompatible libraries with GPL software?
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Dear Users, I just noticed some people declare GPL license on stunnel patches. Since stunnel uses GPL license *with OpenSSL exception* (OpenSSL license is not GPL-compatible), it cannot be distributed if it is linked against any GPL code (patches, libraries) without this exception. It is still legal to distribute stunnel with patches that use GPL license with OpenSSL exception. Such patches constitute forks of stunnel and will *never* be accepted to my source tree. Third party patches rarely meet my quality criteria, but I occasionally accept patches released as public domain or having their copyright ownership transferred to me. Also see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fork_%28software_development… Mike

15 Dec '10

Dear Users, I have uploaded stunnel-4.35b1 to ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/ for your testing. Please give it a shot and submit any problems to stunnel-users mailing list. This is the way you can not only help me improve production 4.35, but also make sure it's going to work on your platform! Please consider version 4.35b1 highly experimental and not ready for production. Specifically it is no supposed to be packaged for any OS distribution (e.g. *BSD ports). Best regards, Michal Trojnara
