OpenSSL CHANGES

Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4
+ *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
+ Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
+ must use this, not the compile-time macro.
+ (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
+ such programs?)
+ Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
+ need locks.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
+ through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
+ SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
+ can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
+ appropriate.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
+ for the encoded length.
+ [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
+
+ *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
+ PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
+ PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
+ secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
+ _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
+ wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
+ PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
+ unusual formatting.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
+ to use the new extension code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
+ with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
+ arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
+ constant.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
