Hi all,

* Repost due to mail client failure - apologies for sending this twice, but this is the correct information *

Good things come to those who wait, and in this particular instance marks the longest
gap between releases that the BC project has seen.

This release adds support for client side SSL to the TLS API, support for CMP (RFC 4210), CRMF (RFC 4211) and CMS 
TimeStampedData (RFC 5544). The CMS and TSP APIs have been rewritten and new APIs have been added for certificate generation and 
OCSP which allow the use of interface based operators to provide cryptographic services. This means it is now possible to use 
the lightweight API, or any another small factor API, in addition to the JCE/JCA to provide cryptographic operations required to 
support all these standards. AES-CMAC and DES-edeCMAC have also been added to the provider, and further work has been done to 
eliminate escaping exceptions and memory issues with the ASN.1 library.

As usual, the latest releases can be found at :

http://www.bouncycastle.org/ or http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle if you use Maven

And for those who like living on the bleeding edge, the betas can be downloaded from:
