Package: p11-kit
Version: 0.18.5-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi there!

p11-kit 0.20.0 was released today, with many changes, and is intended
to be the new "stable" release.

upstream says:

---------------------
Announcing a new release of p11-kit. This is a stable release (at least
that's the idea :)

The 0.20.x series focuses on a better p11-kit module loading API, as
well as capabilities such as properly managing behavior of loaded modules.

There is a new 'trust' tool which operates on shared trust information.
This tool will grow over time.

These changes occurred over the course of the 0.19.x series, and 0.20.x
releases will have minor bug fixes and stabilization.


What's new in 0.20.x
--------------------

 * Refactor API to be able to handle managed modules
 * Deprecate much of old p11-kit API
 * Implement concept of managed modules
 * Make C_CloseAllSessions function work for multiple callers
 * New dependency on libffi
 * Add new 'trust' command line tool
 * 'p11-kit extract' is now 'trust extract'
 * 'p11-kit extract-trust' is now 'trust extract-compat'
 * Workarounds for zfsonlinux.org broken behavior [#68525]
 * Start using certain aspects of the updated storing trust spec
 * Support treating ~/.config as $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
 * Use $XDG_DATA_HOME/pkcs11 as default user config directory
 * Various build fixes and tweaks [#68122 ...]
 * Other minor fixes, see below.
---------------------

It would be great to see this version in debian so we can try it out.
