Chapter 5. Compiler and Tools


Support for the el_GR@euro, ur_IN, and wal_ET locales has been added

The el_GR@euro, ur_IN, and wal_ET locales provide specialized support for newer currency symbols like the Euro, and complete coverage in the instances where the locale was previously unsupported.
Users can now specify these locales using the relevant environment variables to take advantage of the new localization support. (BZ#1101858)

The Net:SSLeay Perl module now supports restricting of TLS version

The Net:SSLeay Perl module has been updated to support explicit specification of the TLS protocol version, which can be used for improving security. To restrict TLS version to 1.1 or 1.2, set the Net::SSLeay::ssl_version variable to 11 or 12, respectively. (BZ#1325407)

The IO::Socket::SSL Perl module now supports restricting of TLS version

The Net:SSLeay Perl module has been updated to support explicit specification of the TLS protocol versions 1.1 or 1.2 to improve security, and the IO::Socket::SSL module has been updated accordingly. When a new IO::Socket::SSL object is created, it is now possible to restrict the TLS version to 1.1 or 1.2 by setting the SSL_version option to TLSv1_1 or TLSv1_2 respectively. Alternatively, TLSv11 and TLSv12 can be used. Note that these values are case-sensitive. (BZ#1331037)

ca-certificates rebased to version 2.10

The certificate store has been upgraded to include the changes contained in version 2.10 of the Certificate Authority certificate list published by the Mozilla Foundation as part of the Network Security Services (NSS) version 3.27. In order to preserve compatibility with existing PKI deployments and with software based on OpenSSL and GnuTLS, several root CA certificates with an RSA key size of 1024 bits have been kept as trusted by default. See the following Knowledgebase article for instructions on disabling these legacy modifications: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1413643. (BZ#1368996)
