Hello dear list,

I like to use stunnel under windows. I tried version stunnel-5.54 and it didn't work, it took a long time, until I've realized, that a bug was responsible for that.

So two days after, I've seen the version 5.55b1, installed it and it works fine. But I don't see any comments in the change log on the website, in the mailing list "stunnel-announce", there was a note about that release, but now for the new release 5.55b12 not. What was changed there?

The "5.55b1" version means that this is a beta version, it has not been released yet. Once it is deemed ready (possibly after more beta versions), it will be released as 5.55. As for what has changed, this information is available at least in the ChangeLog file in the source archive; I'm not sure if it is installed anywhere in a Windows build.

I like to install a stable release on the server, so is there any recommendation which version I can or should use? Someone stated he will use version 5.49 until a new working version for windows is released ....

If 5.54 does not work for you, but 5.55b1 does, then 5.55, once it is released, probably will. By the way, there is a second beta version, 5.55b2, available on the website right now.

Hope that helps!

G'luck, Peter
