Libtasn1 is the ASN.1 library used by GnuTLS, GNU Shishi and some other packages.

Libtasn1 was written by Fabio Fiorina, and has been shipped as part of GnuTLS. Libtasn1 didn't have its own home page until now. It is currently maintained by Simon Josefsson.

The goal of this implementation is to be highly portable, and only require an ANSI C89 platform.

What's New in This Release:
asn1_octet_der was fixed to handle writes of zero-length buffers.
Previously it did not write the ASN.1 length for a zero-length buffer.
This caused ASN.1 encodings to be incorrect on 64-bit platforms.
A self test that attempts to trigger the bug was added.
A test was added for -Wno-pointer-sign.
Cross-compilation to MinGW was improved by using AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL.
