Internet-Draft draft-ietf-tls-tls12-frozen-00.txt is now available. It is a
work item of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   TLS 1.2 is in Feature Freeze

Abstract:

   TLS 1.2 is in widespread use and can be configured such that it
   provides good security properties.  TLS 1.3 is also in widespread use
   and fixes some known deficiencies with TLS 1.2, such as removing
   error-prone cryptographic primitives and encrypting more of the
   traffic so that it is not readable by outsiders.

   Both versions have several extension points, so items like new
   cryptographic algorithms, new supported groups (formerly "named
   curves"), etc., can be added without defining a new protocol.  This
   document specifies that outside of urgent security fixes, no new
   features will be approved for TLS 1.2.  This prescription does not
   pertain to DTLS (in any DTLS version); it pertains to TLS only.
