Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
- OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
- and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
+ OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001, 9 July 2001
+ and 21 Dec 2001) and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based
+ on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
Change log entries are tagged as follows:
-) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
*) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
+) applies to 0.9.7 only
+ *) Add information about CygWin32 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
+ configuration for the versions before that.
+ [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
+ check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
+ the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
+ <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
+ is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
+ flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
+ Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
+ Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
+ value is 0.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
+ make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
+ [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
+ [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
+ Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
+ implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
+ handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
+ FORMAT_IISSGC.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
+ [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
+
+ +) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
+ BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
+ ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add new functions
+ ERR_peek_last_error
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
+ These are similar to
+ ERR_peek_error
+ ERR_peek_error_line
+ ERR_peek_error_line_data,
+ but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
+ still in the error queue.
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
+
+) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
like:
default_algorithms = ALL
+) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
- but are named _old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the des_*
- symbols to the corresponding _old_des_*.
+ but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
+ des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_*.
All this is done because there are increasing clashes with libdes
- and other des libraries that are currently used by other projects.
- For now, the old libdes interface is provided, as well as crypt(),
- unless OPENSSL_NO_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is defined, or if openssl/des_old.h
- is included. Note that crypt() is no longer declared in openssl/des.h.
+ and other DES libraries that are currently used by other projects.
+ The old libdes interface (including crypt()) is provided if
+ <openssl/des_old.h> is included. For now, this automatically
+ happens in <openssl/des.h> unless OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is
+ defined. Note that crypt() is no longer declared in <openssl/des.h>.
NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
