Notable changes include:
- We no longer forget manually untrusted certificates when rehashing.
- Rehash will now scan the existing directory and progressively replace its contents with those of the new trust store. The trust store as a whole is not replaced atomically, but each file within it is.
- We no longer attempt to link to the original files, but we don't copy them either. Instead, we write each certificate out in its minimal form.
- We now generate a trust bundle in addition to the hashed diretory. This also contains only the minimal DER form of each certificate.
- The C version is approximately two orders of magnitude faster than the sh version, with rehash taking ~100 ms vs ~5-25 s depending on whether ca_root_nss is installed.
- The DISTBASE concept has been dropped; the same effect can be achieved by adjusting DESTDIR.
- We now also have rudimentary tests.
