Dear Users,

I have released version 4.45 of stunnel.

The ChangeLog entry:

Version 4.45, 2011.10.24, urgency: LOW:
* New features
  - "protocol = proxy" support to send original client IP address to haproxy:
    This requires accept-proxy bind option of haproxy 1.5-dev3 or later.
  - Added Win32 configuration reload without a valid configuration loaded.
  - Added compatibility with LTS OpenSSL versions 0.9.6 and 0.9.7.
    Some features are only available in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later.
* Performance optimizations
  - Use SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS if supported by the OpenSSL library.
  - Libwrap helper processes are no longer started if libwrap is disabled
    in all sections of the configuration file.
* Internal improvements
  - Protocol negotiation framework was rewritten to support additional
    code to be executed after SSL_accept()/SSL_connect().
  - Handling of memory allocation errors was rewritten to gracefully
    terminate the process (thx to regenrecht for the idea).
* Bugfixes
  - Fixed -l option handling in stunnel3 script (thx to Kai Gülzau).
  - Script to build default stunnel.pem was fixed (thx to Sebastian Kayser).
  - MinGW compilation script (mingw.mak) was fixed (thx to Jose Alf).
  - MSVC compilation script (vc.mak) was fixed.
  - A number of problems in WINSOCK error handling were fixed.
