The most notable feature in this release of nym is that you can now use nym 
entirely from your web browser:

Until someone figures out how to create client certificate requests in 
Javascript, the CA will have to do so instead (or, you could generate the 
request on a separate machine and paste it in with a trivial hack).  This 
means the CA will know your certificate's private key; this is bad if you want 
to make sure you can never be impersonated.  It's actually good if you want 
deniability, since you can always claim that the CA chose to impersonate you.

There are other miscellaneous bugfixes which break compatibility with earlier 
versions.

Sources (including the javascript client) are available here, as always:
