GNU Libtasn1 3.0 released
#160

GNU Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1
objects including DER/BER encoding/decoding.  GNU Libtasn1 is used by
GnuTLS to handle X.509 structures and by GNU Shishi to handle Kerberos
V5 structures.

This release includes several optimizations which provide a significant
performance boost in the library.

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.0 (2012-10-28) [stable]
- Added tool in tests/ to benchmark X.509 structure decoding.
- Added asn1_read_node_value() to obtain a node's value.
- Optimizations in internal tree allocation.
- Optimizations in tree search.
- libtasn1.h no longer exports internal structures.
- Types were renamed for consistency:
  ASN1_DATA_NODE -> asn1_data_node_st
  ASN1_ARRAY_TYPE -> asn1_static_node
  ASN1_TYPE -> asn1_node
  ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY -> NULL
  static_struct_asn -> asn1_static_node_st
  node_asn_struct -> asn1_node_st
  node_asn -> asn1_node_st
  (the old types are still available as definitions)

For developers interested in improving code quality, we publish
Cyclomatic code complexity charts that help you find code that may
need review and improvements:

Code coverage charts indicate parts of the source code that needs
to be tested better by the included self-tests:
