gnoMint 0.6.0 released

["David Marín Carreño" <davefx gmail com>]

I'm pleased to announce the 0.6.0 version, aka "Import-a-matic" of gnoMint: a graphical X.509 Certification Authority management tool.

This version adds some features:

• Import of whole OpenSSL-generated CA's.
• Import of PKCS#8 files.
• Import of PKCS#12 files.
• Added Italian and initial German translation, courtesy of Launchpad collaborators.

Many bugs has been fixed:

• CRL importing now works correctly.
• Multiple import of the same certificate now is disallowed.
• Fixed a portability problem: an architecture-dependant value was been saved in the database.
• Fixed problem with recent-file menu: now it works (again).

About gnoMint:
==============

gnoMint is a tool for an easy creation and management of Certification Authorities. It allows a fancy visualization of all the pieces that conform a CA: x509 certificates, CSRs, CRLs...

Currently, it allows the creation of CAs, CSRs and Certificates, and export both public and private parts of them into PEM formatted files. It manages the revocation of the created certificates, as well as the creation of CRLs.

gnoMint is now perfectly usable for managing a CA that emits certificates able to:

• Authenticate people or machines in VPNs (IPSec or other protocols);
  
• Secure HTTP communications with SSL/TLS secured web servers;
  
• Authenticate and cipher HTTP communications through web-client certificates;
  
• Sign and/or crypt e-mails
  

For compiling it, its dependencies are:

• GTK+ 2.10 or newer
  
• Gnome
  
• SQLite 3
  
• libGnuTLS 2.0 or newer
