Call for API feedback on Guile-GnuTLS updates

Call for API feedback on Guile-GnuTLS updates

Hi,

We've made a beta release of guile-gnutls with a bunch of new APIs and
I'd like to declare this stable eventually, but more review and feedback
on the recent changes would be appreciated.  See announcement here:

https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-help/2023-July/004833.html

I suppose that Guix is the main target audience for Guile-GnuTLS, and
perhaps not everyone here is following our release announcements, so I
thought I'd give this mailing list a heads up before the stable release.
I'm happy to take feedback on the mailing list here, or filed as GitLab
issues.

Thanks to Vivien Kraus, David Thompson, Christopher Baines, and others
who have been working on guile-gnutls recently.

/Simon

I think Guix proper wouldn’t use the new X.509 certificate interfaces
(the main user of those is Spritely Goblins), but what I saw looks good
to me.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for review!  I have added an issue to do a stable release 4.0.0
with the current changes: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/guile/-/issues/17
