+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.7 (unreleased) [stable]
+- asn1_der_decoding_element() is an alias to asn1_der_decoding().
+- optimized asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(). It only performs the decoding
+ step, if it is not already done.
+- Added asn1_copy_node2().
+- Fixes in DER decoding.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.6 (released 2014-05-25) [stable]
+- Corrected an off-by-one error in ASN.1 DER tag decoding.
+- Several improvements and new safety checks on DER decoding;
+ issues found using Codenomicon TLS test suite.
+- Marked asn1_der_decoding_element() as deprecated. Use
+ asn1_der_decoding() instead.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.5 (released 2014-05-01) [stable]
+- Correctly handle decoding of recursive CHOICE options.
+- Allow deleting elements of SET OF. Patch by Jean-Louis Thekekara.
+- Several small bug fixes found by coverity.
+- Code improvements contributed by Kurt Roeckx.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (released 2013-11-25) [stable]
+- Added asn1_delete_structure2() which allows zeroizing the contents
+ of all values in the structure prior to deinitialization.
+- The parser accepts negative numbers in an INTEGER range (but
+ still does no enforce them).
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.3 (released 2013-03-23) [stable]
+- More precise overflow checks using gnulib's intprops module.
+- Updates to compile in Android systems.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.2 (released 2012-11-30) [stable]
+- Corrected buffer overflow in the error reporting of the parser (reported
+ by Andreas Metzler).
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.1 (released 2012-11-24) [stable]
+- Completed rename of types:
+ ASN1_ARRAY_TYPE -> asn1_static_node (was asn1_static_node_t)
+- Added new types: VisibleString, NumericString, IA5String, TeletexString,
+ PrintableString, UniversalString, BMPString, UTF8String. When re-defined
+ a warning is being print instead of failing.
+- Parser outputs more detailed syntax error messages.
+- Added asn1_decode_simple_der() and asn1_encode_simple_der().
+- Added asn1_read_value_type() to return value and type.
+- Introduced ASN1_ETYPE_UTC_TIME and ASN1_ETYPE_GENERALIZED_TIME
+
+* 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)
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.13 (2012-05-31) [stable]
+- Updated fix for DER decoding issue to not depend on specific compilers.
+- Updated DER decoding check to apply to short form integers as well.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.12 (2012-03-19) [stable]
+- Cleanup license headers.
+- build: Update gnulib files.
+- Corrected DER decoding issue (reported by Matthew Hall).
+ Added self check to detect the problem, see tests/Test_overflow.c.
+ This problem can lead to at least remotely triggered crashes, see
+ further analysis on the libtasn1 mailing list.
