 # rpki-client 9.8

 - Various refactoring for improved compatibility with various libcrypto implementations and in CA/BGPsec certificate handling.
 - Fixed an accounting issue in HTTP gzip compression detection.
 - Added a warning in extra verbose mode (`-vv`) about standards non-compliant Issuer and Subject ASN.1 string encodings.
 - Added a check for canonical encoding of ASPA eContent in alignment with draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa- profile-22.
 - Ensure that a repository timeout correctly stops repository processing.

 - A malicious RRDP Publication Server can cause a `NULL` dereference.
