+** libgnutls: SHA1 was removed from the trusted set of hashes. Verification

+** libgnutls: Introduced the %VERIFY_ALLOW_BROKEN and %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_WITH_SHA1
+ priority string options. These allows enabling all broken and SHA1-based signature
+ algorithms in certificate verification, respectively.

** certtool: the option '--load-ca-certificate' can now accept PKCS#11
URLs in addition to files.
