I am pleased to announce PyDERASN 5.6 release availability!

PyDERASN is free software pure Python ASN.1 DER/BER library.

------------------------ >8 ------------------------

The main improvements for that release are:

* Convenient .decod() method, that raises if tail is not empty
* Control characters (like newlines) of text fields in pprinted
  output are escaped
* Ability to allow asterisk and ampersand characters (allow_asterisk,
  allow_ampersand kwargs) in PrintableString, that unfortunately could
  be met in X.509 certificates
