Version 1.11.2, Not Yet Released
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-* The default TLS policy formerly preferred AES over RC4, and allowed
- 3DES by default. Now the default policy is to negotiate only either
- AES or RC4, and to prefer RC4.
+* A bug in the release script caused the `botan_version.py` included
+ in :doc:`1.11.1 <1_11_1>` to be invalid, which required a manual
+ edit to fix (:pr:`226`)
-* The new filter :cpp:class:`Threaded_Fork` acts like a normal
- :cpp:class:`Fork,` sending its input to a number of different
- filters, but each subchain of filters in the fork runs in its own
- thread. Contributed by Joel Low.

+Other API Changes
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
* The API of `Credentials_Manager::trusted_certificate_authorities`
has changed to return a vector of `Certificate_Store*` instead of
`X509_Certificate`. This allows the list of trusted CAs to be
more easily updated dynamically or loaded lazily.

* The `asn1_int.h` header was split into `asn1_alt_name.h`,
`asn1_attribute.h` and `asn1_time.h`.
