Subject: ANNOUNCE: TLS v1.4 SSL/TLS extension
Date: 29 Aug 2000 13:50:30 -0700

WHAT:   TLS v1.4, a portable extension for SSL that provides the
	power of SSL to Tcl programs. This extension can be used
	to utilize SSL encryption on top of any valid Tcl Channel
	- not just sockets!

WHERE:  http://www.sensus.org/tcl/index.htm
	http://www.sensus.org/tcl/tls.htm (documentation)
        ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tls/

REQUIREMENTS:   Tcl/Tk8.2+, compiling is required
	Works on Windows and Unix.  May work on Mac is someone
	gets the project files setup.
	User must have OpenSSL (v0.9.5a+ recommended) or RSA bsafe
	SSL libraries.

UPDATES FROM 1.3:

	TLS 1.4 was written specifically to address changes to the
	functionality of the stacked channel implementation in Tcl
	8.3.2+.  It is recommended that users of TLS use an 8.3.2+
	version of Tcl with TLS.

	TLS 1.4 will work however in any stubs-enabled version of
	Tcl starting with 8.2.0 (when stacked channels were introduced
	to the core).  If you require TLS in an earlier version of
	Tcl, please get 1.3 and apply the necessary patches, as the
	versions are functionally equivalent.

	TLS 1.4 introduces a much more robust test suite, modified
	internals, and a few bug fixes.  Otherwise it provides the
	same feature set as 1.3.  The directory structure has changed
	as the compile structure now uses TEA (same Makefile for
	Windows and Unix).
