Version 1.11.24, Not Yet Released
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+* When the bugs affecting X.509 path validation were fixed in 1.11.23, a check
+ in Credentials_Manager::verify_certificate_chain was accidentally removed
+ which caused path validation failures not to be signaled to the TLS layer.
+ Thus in 1.11.23 certificate authentication in TLS is bypassed.
+ Reported by Florent Le Coz in GH #324
+
* Fixed an endian dependency in McEliece key generation which caused
keys to be generated differently on big and little endian systems,
even when using a deterministic PRNG with the same seed.
