glib-networking 2.59.90

About glib-networking
=====================

glib-networking contains the implementations of certain GLib
networking features that cannot be implemented directly in GLib itself
because of their dependencies.

Currently it contains a GnuTLS-based implementation of GTlsBackend, a
libproxy-based implementation of GProxyResolver, and a GNOME
GProxyResolver that uses the proxy information from the GSettings
schemas in gsettings-desktop-schemas.

News
====

This release adds an OpenSSL backend, obsoleting the glib-openssl project.
Credit to all the contributors to the glib-openssl project, especially
Ignacio Casal Quinteiro. Also thanks to Xavier Claessens for helping with the
transition.

The OpenSSL backend seems to be mature, though it is less well-tested for
desktop usage than the GnuTLS backend. It will remain disabled by default at
build time due to the GPL-incompatible nature of the OpenSSL license -- and the
GPLv2-incompatible nature of the Apache license that will be used by future
versions of OpenSSL -- and because the GnuTLS backend is sufficient for Linux
distros.

Use the OpenSSL backend if you are building an embedded system where
(GPLv2+ or LGPLv3+) dependencies are unacceptable (e.g. nettle or GMP, both
dependencies of GnuTLS) and you are OK with the GPL-incompatible OpenSSL
license. If the OpenSSL backend is enabled at build time, you should probably
disable build of the GnuTLS backend, or it will take precedence over the OpenSSL
backend at runtime. For example, you could configure with:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ meson -Dgnutls=disabled -Dopenssl=enabled ..
