Dear Users,
I have released version 4.47 of stunnel.
This version includes a number of important bugfixes.
The ChangeLog entry:
Version 4.47, 2011.11.21, urgency: MEDIUM:
* Internal improvements
- CVE-2010-3864 workaround improved to check runtime version of
OpenSSL
rather than compiled version, and to allow OpenSSL 0.x.x >= 0.9.8p.
- Encoding of man page sources changed to UTF-8.
* Bugfixes
- Handling of socket/SSL close in transfer() function was fixed.
- Logging was modified to save and restore system error codes.
- Option "service" was restricted to Unix, as since stunnel 4.42 it
wasn't doing anything useful on Windows platform.

Dear Users,
I have just added a new Windows GUI menu to save peer certificate
chains.
Please to give it a try and let me know if there are any issues, so I
can fix them in the final stunnel 4.40:
ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/stunnel-4.40b1-installer.exe
Another useful function would probably be a replacement for Unix
c_rehash script. 8-)
I also appreciate your comments are suggestions related to the new
functionality.
Best regards,
Mike
