Hello,

We have just released gnutls-3.8.8. This is a bug fix and enhancement
release on the 3.8.x branch.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed in this release:
Alan Coopersmith, Alexander Sosedkin, Andreas Metzler, Brad Smith, Daiki
Ueno, David Meliksetyan, Ekaterina Zilotina, Jeff Mattson, Sahil Siddiq,
and Zoltan Fridrich.

The detailed list of changes follows:

* Version 3.8.8 (released 2024-11-05)

** libgnutls: Experimental support for X25519MLKEM768 and SecP256r1MLKEM768 key exchange in TLS 1.3
   The support for post-quantum key exchanges has been extended to
   cover the final standard of ML-KEM, following
   draft-kwiatkowski-tls-ecdhe-mlkem. The minimum supported version of
   liboqs is bumped to 0.11.0.

** libgnutls: All records included in an OCSP response are now checked in TLS
   Previously, when multiple records are provided in a single OCSP
   response, only the first record was considered; now all those
   records are examined until the server certificate matches.

** libgnutls: Handling of malformed compress_certificate extension is now more standard compliant
   The server behavior of receiving a malformed compress_certificate
   extension now more strictly follows RFC 8879; return
   illegal_parameter alert instead of bad_certificate, as well as
   overlong extension data is properly rejected.

** build: More flexible library linking options for compression libraries, TPM, and liboqs support
   The configure options, --with-zstd, --with-brotli, --with-zlib,
   --with-tpm2, and --with-liboqs now take 4 states:
   yes/link/dlopen/no, to specify how the libraries are linked or
   loaded.

** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
