News

0.1

Release date: UNRELEASED

0.4

Release date: Tue Jul 10 15:48:07 CEST 2012

  • Schema validation

  • Refactor dynamic loading framework

0.5

Release date: Wed Jul 11 16:31:06 CEST 2012

Because of the way OpenSSL handles self-signed certificates the XML validation extracts the public key from the certificate and uses that instead of the X509 certificate to validate an XML signature. Right now this introduces a dependency on M2Crypto which will be removed in the fugure. Note that ubuntu/debian users should install python-m2crypto instead of installing M2Crypto (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637904)

0.6

Release date: Thu Aug 30 08:00:00 CEST 2012

  • XML signing and validation using pyXMLSecurity

  • Support for PKCS#11-based HSMs using pykcs11

We are now using a (limited) pure-python implmementation of xmlsec which makes it easier to sign using HSMs. The only mandatory non-python dependency now is lxml.
