by Michal Trojnara 28 Dec '04

Dear Users, Frank de Bot has found a bug in stunnel 4.06. I've attached the patch stunnel needs to work on FreeBSD (and possibly other) systems. It's not needed on Linux and WIN32 platforms. Best regards, Mike

Stunnel 4.06 released

26 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here is the ChangeLog entry: Version 4.06, 2004.12.26, urgency: LOW: * New feature sponsored by SURFnet http://www.surfnet.nl/ - IPv6 support (to be enabled with ./configure --enable-ipv6). * New features - poll() support - no more FD_SETSIZE limit! - Multiple connect=host:port options are allowed in a single service section. Remote hosts are connected using round-robin algorithm. This feature is not compatible with delayed resolver. - New 'compression' option to enable compression. To use zlib algorithm you have to enable it when building OpenSSL library. - New 'engine' option to select a hardware engine. - New 'TIMEOUTconnect' option with 10 seconds default added. - stunnel3 perl script to emulate version 3.x command line options. - French manual updated by Bernard Choppy <choppy AT free POINT fr>. - A watchdog to detect transfer() infinite loops added. - Configuration file comment character changed from '#' to ';'. '#' will still be recognized to keep compatibility. - MT-safe getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are used where available to get better performance on resolver calls. - Automake upgraded from 1.4-p4 to 1.7.9. * Bugfixes - log() changed to s_log() to avoid conflicts on some systems. - Common CRIT_INET critical section introduced instead of separate CRIT_NTOA and CRIT_RESOLVER to avoid potential problems with libwrap (TCP Wrappers) library. - CreateThread() finally replaced with _beginthread() on Win32. - make install creates $(localstatedir)/stunnel. $(localstatedir)/stunnel/dev/zero is also created on Solaris. - Race condition with client session cache fixed. - Other minor bugfixes. * Release notes - Win32 port requires Winsock2 to work. Some Win95 systems may need a free update from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/ - Default is *not* to use IPv6 '::' for accept and '::1' for connect. For example to accept pop3s on IPv6 you could use: 'accept = :::995'. I hope the new syntax is clear enough.
