- Update to 0.40.0:
- OK, SO NOT THIS RELEASE, BUT IN THE NEXT RELEASE PYTHON2 WILL
TRULY GO!
- BREAKING CHANGES:
- There are no SWIG generated files (src/SWIG/_m2crytpo_wrap.c)
included anymore, so swig must be installed, no
exceptions! Also, for compatibility with Python 3.12+, swig
4.0+ is required.
- All support for asyncore has been removed, as it has been
removed in Python 3.12 as well (which means also removal of
contrib/dispatcher.py, M2Crypto/SSL/ssl_dispatcher.py,
ZServerSSL).
- All use of distutils (including the bundled ones in
setuptools) has been removed, so `setup.py clean` is no
more.
- Excessively complicated and error-prone __init__py has been
cleaned and `import M2Crypto` doesn’t include everything
anymore. Imports should specified as for example with `from
M2Crypto import foo`.
- ASN1_Time handling has been mostly rewritten and it almost
works even on Windows.
- All tests in Gitlab CI (with exceptions of some skipped tests
especially on Windows) are now green, tests of Python 2.7 on
CentOS 7 have been included.
- Introduce m2.err_clear_error()
- Make X509_verify_cert() accessible as m2.x509_verify_cert
- Add 32bit_ASN1_Time.patch to quench errors on 32bit archs.
