4        * Added a configuration check on required thread linked perl
5        * Added option to disable the generation of swig/java directory
6          when configured with --disable-java-feature or when jni.h is
7          not found (Ezra)
8        * Added Java libabac regression tests in example_scripts/java
9        * Added Java interface to libabac using JNI generated via SWIG
10          (Remember to take down the context with free_context_now()
11          instead of counting on the destructor, this is to avoid the
12          threading problem in libstrongswan when it got GC'ed
13          prematurely by Java, see swig/java/ProverTest.java)
14        * Added default partial proof generation upon fact query failure
15        * Added new python attribute and id example tests for the new
16          api calls
17        * Added a new Attribute api call, ABAC::Attribute::Attribute_chunk,
18          creating Attribute from a certificate chunk (Ezra)
19        * Added a new ID api call, ABAC::ID::ID_chunk, creating ID from a
20          certificate chunk (Ezra)

26        * Remove the self-signing verification check in abac_verifier to allow
27          none self-signing principal credential
28        * Replaced cn extraction code used in libabac with a more generalized
29          method that retrieves the last "CN=" term from the subject line
30          of a principal credential before chopping it out
31        * Added a new API call, next_proof (abac_context_query_again) that can
32          force YAP to backtrack and produce a new solution proof if exists
33        * New performance testing setup under examples directory. Added
34          plotting and graphing scripts
35        * Updated examples directory to use Makefile, added performance
36          testing setup, plotting scripts, and graphing scripts
37        * Added support for accepting encrypted private key with passphrase
38          for principal credential creation and for attribute rule creation
39        * API is expanded to allow specifying private key file and passphrase
40          file
41        * creddy attribute and generate options are expanded to accept
42          a specific private key and allowing passphrase option
43        * a new keycheck option is added to creddy to do access check on
44          a key file (encrypted and none encrypted)
45        * added encryption/passphrase examples
46        * migrate the sample scripts that used to be under swig directory to
47          examples directory and setup as part of regression test suite
48        * add examples for timing/performance runs
49        * change the proof buffer allocation to YAP_AllocSpaceFromYap and sizing
50          the buffer repeatedly and progressively if the initial size is too small
51        * tested with Yap 6.2.3 but not required

57        * The API visible to programmers is much richer and should make
58          development simpler.  As part of this, the libcreddy/libabac
59          distinction has disappeared.  All libcreddy functions are now
60          available through libabac.
61        * updated to use strongswan 4.6.4.  Strongswan 4.4.0 had become very
62          outdated.
63        * Added more examples and documentation.
64        * add a new '--subject-link' option to creddy --attribute to hold the
65          linking role
66        * add --dbdump option to abac_prover_yap to retrieve all prolog clauses
67          stored in the db
68       
69       WARNING
70       - There are occasional spurious error messages originated
71         from Strongswan during access of the attribute credentials.  Those
72         messages are due to libstrongswan mishandling certain values of
73         authorizedKeyIdentifier in a non-destructive way.  While we are
74         working with the strongswan developers to remove these messages, they
75         should not affect ABAC in any way.
76       
77         Here are sample messages:
78       
79         L6 - keyIdentifier:  length of ASN.1 object invalid or too large
80         L6 - authorityCertSerialNumber:  length of ASN.1 object invalid or too large
81       
82         Do report to us if your ABAC is not behaving as
83         expected and messages like above seem to be a factor..
