Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) Fix a memory leak in err.c: free err_data string if necessary.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
+ of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
+ including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
+ EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
+ that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
+ generator).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
+
+ EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
+ operations and provides various method functions that can also
+ operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
+
+ EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
+ EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
+
+ [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
+ implementation directly derived from source code provided by
+ Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
+
+ *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
+ crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
+
+ Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
+ based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
+
+ Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
+
+ Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
+ finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
+ than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
+ that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
+ change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
+ to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
+ field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
+ is 40 of more characters long.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
+ and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
+ pointers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
+ did not exist.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
+ [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
+
+ *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
+ in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
+ internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
+ might.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
+
+ Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
+ (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
+
+ ASN1 error codes
+ ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
+ ...
+ ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
+ were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
+ ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
+ ...
+ ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
+ They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
+
+ Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
+ suffices.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
+ sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
+ subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
+ 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
+ and
+ 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
+
+ Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
+
+ *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
