unless GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_MARK_NOT_SENSITIVE is specified. This is an API
change for these functions which make them err towards safety.
+** certtool: It is now possible to specify certificate and serial CRL numbers greater
+ than 2**63-2 as a hex-encoded string both when prompted and in a template file.
+ Default certificate serial numbers are now fully random. Default CRL
+ numbers include more random bits and are larger than in previous GnuTLS versions.
+ Since CRL numbers are required to be monotonic, specify suitable CRL numbers manually
+ if you intend to later downgrade to previous versions as it was not possible
+ to specify large CRL numbers in previous versions of certtool.

** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_fips140_set_mode: Added
gnutls_session_key_update: Added
