========================================================================= 1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.57 available =========================================================================

A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the Interoperable Global Trust Federation, based on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It includes the newly accredited Authorities and retires expiring trust anchors. This is version 1.57 release 1 and it is now available for download from the Repository (and mirrors) at

https://dist.igtf.net/distribution/igtf/current/

Changes from 1.56 to 1.57 ------------------------- (2 June 2014)

* Discontinued obsoleted IHEP (2009) CA ba2f39ca (CN) * Removed discontinued NCSA Two Factor CA following migration to NCSA Two Factor CA 2013 (US)

Next Release ------------ Releases are usually done on the last Monday of the month, only when the trust anchor distribution has been updated substantially. The currently-estimated next release date of the distribution is at the end of June 2013.

========================================================================= 2. Updated fetch-crl3 (3.0.13) with improved configuration and startup resilience options =========================================================================

A new minor release of fetch-crl is now available from the IGTF distribution web site. This new version allows for faster response times on system boot (if configured to run at boot time), and has improvements for caterign with unresponsive CRL URLs.

Most important changes in version 3.0.13: * Supplied system init script for boot phase will not re-run inadvertently * Add rcmode config option (added differentiated reporting and success-on-solely-retrieval-errors) * Add --define key=val command line argument to augment configuration data
