I agree, that this looks like a bug.

On my NetBSD system:

% gnutls-cli -l | grep -i tls1.3
TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256             0x13, 0x01      TLS1.3
TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384             0x13, 0x02      TLS1.3
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256       0x13, 0x03      TLS1.3
TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256             0x13, 0x04      TLS1.3
TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256           0x13, 0x05      TLS1.3
Protocols: VERS-TLS1.0, VERS-TLS1.1, VERS-TLS1.2, VERS-TLS1.3, VERS-DTLS0.9, 
VERS-DTLS1.0, VERS-DTLS1.2

This output is identical to the output I get on my GNU/Linux system
where the system does not exist.  So I'd assume the TLS 1.3 support does
not differ...

Thanks for your support,

sascha
