The M2Crypto homepage lists dozens of applications and libraries that use M2Crypto. Additionally I believe certain Linux distros use it as more or less required piece. I know it has been used at some of the world's most largest companies. As for version number, that is pretty much irrelevant in open source. Take a look at the number and frequency of releases, how long the project has existed and so forth, and community around the project. M2Crypto is over 7 years old, has had at least one release a year, and although it doesn't have a large community around it, most of the changes over the last few years have been submitted by someone else than the maintainer. -- Heikki Toivonen - http://heikkitoivonen.net |
