   coverity and manual inspection) thanks to Simo Sorce and John Dennis from

   RedHat

 - xsd:choices are now parsed correctly by implementing a real finite automata

   InResponseTo attribute of messages, allowing pre-treatment before parsing

   the message, to load the metadata of the remote provider, or find the request

   which the response matches.

 - fixed segfault when parsing HTTP-Redirect marlformed base64 content

 - added support for automake 1.15 (jdennis)

2.4.0 - January 7th 2014

------------------------

281 commits, 933 files changed, 45384 insertions, 6313 deletions

Minor version number increase since ABI was extended (new methods).

 - Key rollover support:

   Lasso is now able to accept messages signed by any key declared as a signing

   key in a metadata and not just the last one. You can also decrypt encrypted

   nodes using any of a list of private keys, allowing roll-over of encryption

   certificates. Signing key roll-over is automatic, your provider just have to

   provide the new signing key in their metadata. For multiple-encryption key

   you can load another private key than the one loaded in the LassoServer

   constuctor with code like that:

      >>> import lasso

      >>> server = lasso.Server(our_metadata, first_private_key_path)

      >>> server.setEncryptionPrivateKey(second_private_key_path)

   See the FAQ file for the workflow of a proper key roll-over.

 - Partial logout response now produces a specific error code when parsed by

   lasso_logout_process_response_msg()

 - Bugs in lasso_assertion_query_build_request_msg() were fixed

 - Processing of assertions is not stopped when checking that first level

   status code is not success, so that later code can check the second level

   status code.

 - A new generic error for denied request was added,

   LASSO_PROFILE_ERROR_REQUEST_DENIED

 - A new API lasso_server_load_metadata() was added to load federation files

   (XML files containing metadata from multiple providers) and to check

   signatures on them.

 - Better warning and errors are reported in logs when failing to load a

   metadata file.

 - Bugs around missing namespace declaration for dump file were fixed, it

   prevented reloading dumped object (like LassoLogin).

 - lasso_node_get_xml_node_for_any_type() must be able to copy the content of

   an XML node to another (namespace, attribute and children). It did not, now

   it is fixed. It can be used for example to add specific attribute like «

   xsi:type="string" » to a Saml2AttributeValue. Here is a python snippet to do that:

      >>> import lasso

      >>> a = lasso.Saml2AttributeValue()

      >>> a.setOriginalXmlnode('<Dummy xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="string">Value</Dummy>')

      >>> print a.debug(0)

      <saml:AttributeValue xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="string">Value</saml:AttributeValue>

 - support for symetric keys signatures: for a long time XMLDsig standard has

   supported HMAC signature, or signature based on a shared secret key an hash

   algorithm. Lasso now supports to share a key with another Lasso using

   service or identity provider and to verify and sign SAML exchange using this

   key. Performance can be 100 times more than with assymetric cryptography,

   i.e. RSA.

 - nodes able to hold any XML attribyte (like saml:AttributeValue) contains a

   hashtable to for holding those attributes, those hashtable have a new syntax

   for attributes of another namespace than the current node namespace,

   inspired by the Python ElementTree library:

    {the_namespace}the_attribute_name

   ex:

    {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance}type

   for the classic xsi:type attribute.

 - xmldsig:X509Data node now possess a binding as a Lasso object. You can use

   it combined with the new class LassoSaml2KeyInformationDataType to use the

   holder-of-key subject confirmation method.

 - The perfs benchmarking tools now allows to select a different metadata set

   (for example to test with different public key sizes).

 - Perl minimal version for the binding was downgraded to 5

 - pseudo-XSchema validation: the new XML deserializer does more to enforce

   constraints of the schema defining SAML messages. It means Lasso is less

   forgiving with non-conform implementation of SAML.

 - thin-sessions mode: A new flag was added named thin-session, you can set it

   using lasso_set_flag("thin-sessions") or by setting the LASSO_FLAG

   environement variable to the string "thin-sessions". The effect of this flag

   is to remove complete storage of assertions in the LassoSession object,

   which was made mainly to support logout and the artifact binding for ID-FF

   1.2. A new thinner structure is used for supporting logout, and ID-FF 1.2

   can now use the same storage mechanism as the SAML 2 implementation for the

   artifact binding (i.e. using lasso_profile_get_artifact_message after

   artifact generation and lasso_profile_set_artifact_message before artifact

   retrieval).

 - better initialization and access to SessionIndex in logout requests:

   LassoSession now store all generated SessionIndex for a session using a

   small structure, using it the LassoLogout profile can now initialize

   LassoLogout message with all of them. It's not necessary to implement this

   functionnalitý in your service or identity provider anymore.

 - new LassoKey object: this new class was introduced to simplify management of

   keys when using shared key signature. But you can also use it to load

   assymetric keys. In the future it should gain API to do XML signature and

   encryptiong independently of any SAML 2.0 or ID-FF 1.2 exchange. Providing

   the first simple binding of libxmlsec to Python.

 - Improvements to autoconf and automake files to compile under Darwin (Mac Os

   X) and Fedora.

 - a FAQ file was started.

2.3.6 - November 29th 2011

--------------------------

2 commits, 2 files changed, 28 insertions, 2 deletions

 * fix a bug when receiving a signature using the InclusiveNamespaces

   PrefixList by copying namespace declaration from upper level at the level of

   the signed node.

 * fix compilation warning on recent version of GCC

2.3.5 - January 11th 2010

-------------------------

36 commits, 31 files changed, 240 insertions, 92 deletions

Generic:

 * add more backward compatible replacement for GHashTable methods (to compile

   under centos5)

 * a generic way to attach encryption parameters to LassoNode has been added, a

   future major release should see the removal of specific field for storing

   those parameters in node supporting encryption.

 * The way we format encrypted node is now more compatible with Shibboleth and

   I hope with other implementations: the KeyInfo is kept inside the

   EncryptedData element, and not repeated inside a child of the EncryptedElement.

 * Fixed: LASSO_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_HINT_FORCE did not force checking signature on

   messages

 * Fixed: lasso_provider_get_first_http_method broke when an unknown binding

   was found in an endpoint declaration

SAMLv2:

 * Fixed: segfault when checking signature on logout responses (introduced in 2.3.4)

 * SPNameQualifier is more set on subject NameID of assertions, as it should be

   reserved for Affiliation members (and it broke shibboleth which only expect

   this to be used for affiliation, wrongly I think).

 * Conditions->notBefore/notOnOrAfter is motre setted by

   lasso_login_build_assertion, only notOnOrAfter on SubjectConfirmationData,

   which is more inline with the specification.

 * the logout profile now use the session to initialize the NameID in requests,

   not the identity. It allow to have a transient federation in the session but

   a persistent one in the identity

 * fixed support for the POST binding

 * Fixed: it seems that strtol does not reset errno under Centos 5, we do it by hand.

Python binding:

 * constructors now raise a lasso.Error instead of a simple Exception when failing

PHP5 binding:

 * removed dependency upon an internal function of liblasso3

2.3.4 - Otober 8th 2010

-----------------------

21 commits, 18 files changed, 312 insertions, 58 deletions

Generic

 * fix warning for compiling on Pardus and EL5

 * the release tarball now contains the figures for the documentation

 * lasso_login_process_authn_request documentation gained details on returned errors

SAMLv2:

 * report unknown provider instead of an error on parameter value when

   resolving and artifact in an assertionConsumer endpoint and the provider is

   not registered into the server object.

 * lasso_provider_get_assertion_consumer_url now use specific SAMLv2 methods

 * fixed a bug in the ordering of indexed endpoints which produced error when

   looking up the default assertion consumer. It also improved ordering in

   presence of the attribute isDefault="false". A non-regression test was

   added for this functionality.

ID-FFv1.2:

 * respect the signature verify hint when handling authn requests

2.3.3 - October 1st 2010

------------------------

44 commits, 264 files changed, 858 insertions, 401 deletions

Generic:

 * Fixed a lot of memleaks thanks to valgrind, the greatest tool on earth (with

   coccinelle).

 * Add missing annotation creating memleaks in python binding (on lasso_*_dump king   of methods).

 * Fix bad inclusion of an ID-WSF include file when ID-WSF support is not enabled

 * Benchmarking program was updated to measure each part of a WebSSO

   independently (AuthnRequest generation/processing, AuthnResponse

   generation/processing).

 * Add new macro lasso_strisequal and lasso_strisnotequal to avoid errors with

   strcmp. (Thanks to coccinelle semantic patches).

SAMLv2:

 * Add uniform support for LassoProfileVerifySignatureHint for other profiles

   than WebSSO.

 * Report signature errors in response to NameIDNanagement requests

 * Fix wrong use of macro lasso_foreach breaking the mecanism for finding a

   default assertion consumer.

 * Behaviour of lasso_login_build_assertion was modified:

   - when the NameIDPolicy lacks a Format attribute or the Format attribute is

     the unspecified format (see the spec for the corresponding URN). Now it

     results in a transient nameid being generated. If you want it to be

     persistent you must change it before calling this method.

   - the setting of the SubjectConfirmationData->NotOnOrAfter attribute was

     restored as it is mandated by the WebSSO profile. It's the same value as

     Conditions->NotOnOrAfter.

 * Fix missing initialization of Destination attribute on Samlp2StatusResponse

   object for synchronous bindings (Redirect & Post)

2.3.2 - September 7th 2010

--------------------------

 * Fix bug in increment of the libtool version info, increasing the SONAME

   uselessly.

2.3.1 - September 7th 2010

--------------------------

31 commits, 23 files changed, 523 insertions, 356 deletions

 * An ABI breakage was introduced in 2.3.0 with change of value for enumeration

   values LASSO_PROVIDER_ROLE_SP and LASSO_PROVIDER_ROLE_IDP, it breaked code

   compiled with previous version and dumps of server objects. This release fix

   it.

 * SAMLv2 handling of the artifact binding for the WebSSO profile is now

   simpler, no more dumping of the response nodes and signing at the artifact

   building time, the final response is signed when the artifact is generated

   and when unserialized later it is only manipulated as XML for not breaking

   the signature. It fixes usage of ciphered private keys with the

   HTTP-Artifact binding.

 * SAMLv2 internal storage of endpoints was modified to better keep the

   ordering between endpoints, which is espacially important for

   AssertionConsumerService endpoints and difficult to implement well.

2.3.0 - July 21th 2010

----------------------

391 commits, 332 files changed, 13919 insertions, 7137 deletions

So what's new ?

 * Misc:

	- a public key is no more mandatory for building a LassoProvider

	- date parsing now conforms to XSD and ISO8601 specification,

	  especially with respect to milliseconds (they are just ignored, but

	  parsing do not fails now).

	- the encryption private key can be loaded with a password (SAMLv2

	  support only)

	- keep on replacing direct glib data structure manipulation function by

	  safer lasso macros.

	- remove useless verbosity when there is already some error reporting

	  through method return value.

	- add a signature_verify_hint parameter to all profiles, which can be

	  used to specify the policy for verifying signatures. The choices are:

	  - maybe, i.e. let Lasso decides,

	  - force, i.e. always verify, even when it is not needed by the spec,

	  - ignore, i.e. verify, but do not block processing on signature

	    verifications error.

	- add a new snippet type: SNIPPET_COLLECT_NAMESPACES, to collect all

	  declared namespaces in the context of a node. It is needed for

	  interpreting a string value which depend on the locally declared

	  namespaces (like XPath queries).

	- support full syntax for query strings (lasso missed support for

	  semi-colon separator between query string key-value pairs).

	- make LassoServer load its public key like LassoProvider

	- lasso_build_unique_id is now part of the public API

	- add lasso_profile_sso_role_with to decide on the role we have toward

	  another provider (depending on the Identity, the Session or the

	  Server object in this order).

	- add a lasso_node_debug method wich output a human friendly dump (i.e.

	  indented) of a serialized LassoNode, contrary to dump which returns a

	  computer friendly one (dump will conserve signature values, not

	  debug).

 * SAMLv2:

	- constraint on the number of SessionIndex value in a LogoutRequest was

	  worked-around (see

	  lasso_samlp2_logout_request_get/set_session_indexes)

	- full support for encrypted signing key (ID-FFv1.2 is coming in next

	  release)

	- The treatment of assertions consumer endpoints metadata was improved to be

	  what the specification says, i.e find the best default.

	- lasso_assertion_query_build_request_msg now properly initialize the Subject

	  of the query from all possibles sources (first profile->nameIdentifier, then

	  from the identity dump and finally from the session).

	- when a parsed Assertion contains a signature, we return the

	  original_xmlnode instead of serializing the LassoNode content when

	  calling lasso_node_get_xmlNode. This is in order to keep canonical

	  representation of signed assertions. The result is that parsed and

	  signed assertions should be considered read-only with respect to

	  serialization.

	- lasso_login_build_assertion no longer initialize sessionNotOnOrAfter,

	  it must be done explicitely by the IdP implementation. Only the

	  assertion lifetime is set by the arguments.

	- when loading metadata for a provider, we verify that a role

	  descriptor exists for the prescribed role: i.e if you do

	  server.addProvider(lasso.PROVIDER_ROLE_SP, "metadata.xml"), lasso

	  checks that the metadata contain a descriptor for the role "SPSSO".

	- new helper methods to manipulate and check conditions on

	  SAMLv2 assertions.

	- move strings to their own header (but keep retro-compatibility

	  through inclusion in xml/strings.h).

 * Bindings:

	- improve general use of bindings/utils.py module inside the bindings

	  to share type matching logic.

 * Python binding:

	- Glib warning are tunneled through python logging API

	- camelcasing of uppercase starting fields for python and java bindings has

	  been fixed, old orthograph has been also kept for compatibility. The problem

	  could be seen on LassoAssertion object where the field ID was renamed iD

	  which was difficult to guess.

	- node class now supports pickling by leveraging existing XML

	  serialization. It posseses the same limitations as the existing XML

	  serialization, for example serializing a LassProfile is not an

	  idempotent operation, it will miss the server, identity and session

	  fields.

	- empty GList now return an empty tuple, not None (it fixes a lot

	  list traversal codes)

	- do not forget to emit 'pass' in declaration of class without any

	  content (no method, no field, no constructor)

	- the code to emit 'freeing' code for values was factorized and improved.

	- for empty lists returns an empty pyhon list, not None.

 * Perl binding:

	- support for out parameters was added.

	- better memory freeing

 * Java binding:

	- finished exception support for error returning methods.

	- optimize the makefile for file listing generation

	- for NULL GList returns an empty ArrayList object, not null.

 * Documentation:

	- add examples to LassoLogout documentation

	- fix missing or deprecated methods in lasso-sections.txt

	- document LassoIdWsf2Profile methods

	- document runtime flags

 * Tests:

	- new macros to help in testing (see tests/tests.h), they also make

	  better error reporting (when comparing values, they show the expected

	  and the obtained value).

	- SAMLv2 AuthnRequest through HTTP-Artifact binding is tested

	- SAMLv2 LogoutRequest with multiple SessionIndex is tested

	- force C locale for integration test (we match UI strings, so it is

	  needed).

	- SAMLv2, test websso with encrypted private keys (idp and sp side)

	- SAMLv2, add a python test for attribute authority

 * ID-WSF 2.0:

	- constant strings were moved to their own header

	  (lasso/xml/id-wsf-2.0/idwsf2_strings.h)

	- add helper method to retrieve the bootstrap EPR from an assertion and

	  to mint assertion to use as WS-Security tokens.

	- add method lasso_idwsf2_data_service_get_query_item_result_content to

	  retrieve DST query result as text

	- sign SAMLv2 assertion used as WS-Security tokens

And many minor bug-fixes...

2.2.91 - January 26th 2010

--------------------------

A new Perl binding, fix for backward compatibility with old versions of glib,

LassoLogout API is more robust since it does not need anymore for all SP logout

to finish to work, new macro lasso_list_add_new_xml_node, add support for

WS-Security UsernameToken (equivalent of poor man HTTP Digest Authentication),

make public internal APIs: lasso_session_add_assertion,

lasso_session_get_assertion and lasso_session_remove_assertion.

2.2.90 - January 18th 2010

--------------------------

Lots of internal changes and some external one too.

There is a new api to force, forbid or let Lasso sign messages, it is called

lasso_profile_set_signature_hint.

Big overhaul of the ID-WSF 1 and 2 codes, and of the SAML 2.0 profiles. Now all

SAML 2.0 profile use common internal functions from the lasso_saml20_profile_

namespace to handle bindings (SOAP,Redirect,POST,Artifact,PAOS). New internal

API to load SSL keys from many more formats from the public API.

In ID-WSF 2.0, Data Service Template has been simplified, we no more try to

apply queries, it is the responsability of the using code to handle them.

In bindings land, the file bindings/utils.py has been stuffed with utility

function to manipulate 'type' tuple, with are now used to transfer argument and

type description, their schema is (name, C-type, { dictionary of options } ),

they are now used everywhere in the different bindings. We support output

argument in PHP5, Python and Java, i.e. pointer of pointer arguments with are

written to in order to return multiple values. For language where the binding

convert error codes to exceptions (all of them now), the ouput value is

returned as the normal return value of the method, so only one output argument

is handled for now.

We now use GObject-introspection annotations in the documentation to transfer

to the binding generator the necessary metadata about the API (content of

lists, hashtables, wheter pointer are caller/callee owned, can be NULL or if

argument have a default value). The file bindings/override.xml is now

deprecated.

In documentation land, the main reference documentation was reorganizaed and

more symbols have been added to it. Many more functions are documented.

There is now tools to control the evolution of the ABI/API of Lasso.

2.2.2 - March 24th 2009

-----------------------

Many fixes and improvements to the ID-WSF 1 support, new API to load SSL keys

off memory, documentation for ID-WSF methods, general robustness and memory

leak fixes.

2.2.1 - July 22nd 2008

----------------------

Fixed problems with signed SAML 2.0 URL strings and checks against existing

assertions to tell if authentication was required.

2.2.0 - May 28th 2008

---------------------

Added support for encrypted NameIdentifier in ID-FF 1.2, fixed various minor

issues with ID-WSF support and several bugs and memory management issues; also

replaced bindings for Java, PHP 5 and Python with new ones, created by a custom

code generator.

2.1.1 - August 21st 2007

------------------------

Added support for LassoSignatureType to bindings (support was already but

implicitely present for Python), fixed references to Node and String lists

in all bindings.

2.1.0 - August 13rd 2007

------------------------

Added preliminary support for ID-WSF 2, Discovery and Data Service Template,

added missing accessors for class elements in SAML 2 language bindings, fixed

potential DoS in message parsing.

2.0.0 - January 16th 2007

-------------------------

Completed SAMLv2 support, passed conformance event organized by the Liberty

Alliance from December 4th to 8th 2006.  Gratuitous giant version bump to

mark this step.  Fixed memory leaks and potential segmentation faults.

1.9.9 - December 19th 2006

--------------------------

  [Test version, news copied over to 2.0.0]

0.6.6 - October 16th 2006

-----------------------

Fixed issues in ID-WSF Data and Interaction services support, fixed a few

robustness issues in corner cases.

  [This version was finally not released due to decision to first finish

   SAMLv2 support and pass the conformance tests.]

0.6.5 - March 21st 2006

-----------------------

Fixed support for SWIG 1.3.28 (now required), fixed a win32 build issue, fixed

documentation.

0.6.4 - March 8th 2006

----------------------

Added first draft of ID-WSF Interaction Service support, added message

signatures to ID-WSF messages, added first draft of SAML 2 support (only

Web-SSO and part of Single Logout for the moment), fixed some corner cases,

improved error detection in different places, upgraded SWIG support to 1.3.28

and generally improved the bindings.

0.6.3 - September 30th 2005

---------------------------

Improved behaviour when confronted to other Liberty providers that do not

implement all the mandatory Liberty requirements, improved error status code

reporting, completed support for public keys embedded in metadata files, fixed

a few corner case bugs.  Also continued work on ID-WSF support, implementing

Discovery and DST services but still considered experimental and disabled by

default.

0.6.2 - May 26th 2005

---------------------

Fixed usage of NameIdentifiers after calls to Register Name Identifier profile,

improved robustness against other Liberty implementations, improved loading of

metadata, fixed minor bugs and memory leaks.  Continued work on ID-WSF support,

still partial and disabled by default.

0.6.1 - February 22nd 2005

--------------------------

Completed <lib:Extension> support, added full bidirectional query string support

for AuthnContextStatementRef, AuthnContextClassRef and AuthnContextComparison,

fixed a crasher-bug in a rare case of single sign on profile, tested and

shipped with Microsoft Visual Studio project files.

0.6.0 - January 27th 2005

-------------------------

Rewrote library internals to use standard structures instead of libxml2 nodes;

this allows faster processing, more flexibility and better support for language

bindings.  Documented all the API functions.  Fixed and improved the rest.

0.5.0 - November 9th 2004

-------------------------

All features of SP Basic, SP, IDP, and LECP profiles for Liberty IDFF 1.2

Static Conformance are now implemented, except for "Backward Compatibility".

Extended features are also supported, except for "Affiliations".  Compatible

with the demo application of the last Beta version of SourceID Liberty 2.0.

Improved metadata support, a lot of new feature and bugfixes.

API, ABI, and dump format of messages have changed, so this release is not

compatible with previous versions.
