Subject: ANNOUNCE M2Crypto 0.04 - DN [1]

 Hello,

 I am pleased to announce the release of M2Crypto 0.04. This release
 offers the following:

 -   Based on OpenSSL 0.9.5. Tested on FreeBSD, Linux and Win NT.

 -   Much improved SSL:

         -   SSL certificate-based client authentication with
         callbacks in Python.

         -   An interface to create SSL sessions. An SSL session
         caches security parameters negotiated during SSL/TLS handshaking.
         Many SSL connections can be instantiated over an SSL session;
         this reduces the frequency of expensive public-key cryptographic
         operations and thereby improves performance.

         -   More robust SSL socket implementation - raises Python
         exceptions, not dumps core. (Mostly. ;-)

 -   S/MIME: signs, encrypts, decrypts, verifies.

 -   More X.509 certificate manipulation, in support of PyCA.

 -   Various bug fixes and minor enhancements.

 Thanks to Ray Soursa <res@loudcloud.com>, Johannes Stezenbach
 <yawyi@gmx.net>, Michael Ströder <michael.stroeder@inka.de> and
 others for bug reports and suggestions.
