Major Changes

Bundled WolfSSL

WolfSSL was introduced in Netatalk 2.4.0 as the recommended SSL provider for the DHX (DHCAST128) and Random Number user authentication modules.

In addition to the bundled WolfSSL library, the latest version of Netatalk now supports building with system provided WolfSSL libraries. At the time of release, only Debian and Ubuntu could be confirmed shipping a fully-featured WolfSSL library.

Alpine Linux, Arch Linux, DragonFly BSD and FreeBSD also ship WolfSSL libraries. However in our testing neither were complete enough to be used with Netatalk. On these platforms we will still use the bundled WolfSSL library.
