OpenSSL CHANGES

- Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
+ primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
+ place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
+ postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
+ the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
+ declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
+ migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
+ functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
+ success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
+ help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
+
+ Example for using the new callback interface:
+
+ int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
+ void *my_arg = ...;
+ BN_GENCB my_cb;
+
+ BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
+
+ return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
+ /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
+ * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
+ * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
+ * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
+ * to continue, or 0 to stop.
+ */

+
+ *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
+ available to TLS with the number defined in
+ draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
+ [Richard Levitte]
*) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
- forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
- reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
- -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
+ forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
+ reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
+ -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".

- Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [XX xxx 2003]
+
+ *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
+ FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
+ the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

+
+ Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
+
+ *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
+ code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
+ octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
+ caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
+ client and server.
+ Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
+ PR #377.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
+ instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
+ removed entirely.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
+ seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
+ author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
+ means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
+ This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
+ of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
+ of libcrypto.
+ NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
+ appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
+ dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
+ make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
+ have to be made anyway).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
+ octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
+ some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
