OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
+ Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4
- Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3
+ *) 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>.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+#if 0
+ *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+#else
+ des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
+ Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
+ where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
+#endif
+
+ *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
+ calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
+ fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
+ on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) DES library cleanups.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
+ used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
+ ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
+ against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
+ yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
+ of v2.0.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
+ Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
+ assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
+ structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
+ but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
+ the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
+ underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
+ This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
+ 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
+ and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
+ and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
+ Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
+ KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
+ value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
+ value doesn't matter.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
+ support mutable.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
+ [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
+ "linux-sparc" configuration.
+ [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
+
+ *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
+ File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
+
+ *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
+
+ *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Additional typesafe stacks.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+
+ Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
+
+ *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
+
+ *) Updated some demos.
+ [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
+
+ *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
+ [Wu Zhigang]
+
+ *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
+ instead of using a fixed path.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Improvements for VMS support.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+
+ Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
+
+ *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
+ This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
+ These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
+ existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
+ and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
+ sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
+ are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
+ replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
+ (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
+ that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
+ this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
+ correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
+ (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
+ to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
+ which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
+ that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
+
+ Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
+ problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
+ and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
+ to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
+ NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
+ key elements as negative integers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) VMS support.
+ [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
+
+ *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
+ output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
+ option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
+ that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
+ SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
+ in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
+ intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
+ -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
+ -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
+ handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
+ [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
+
+ *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
+ copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
+ various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
+ is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
+ any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
+ ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
+ As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
+ we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
+ was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
+
+ Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
+ in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
+ Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
+ does not influence s as it used to.
+
+ In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
+ we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
+ that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
+ the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
+ and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
+ meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
+ from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
+ evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
+ key type.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
+ environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
+ variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
+ and 'x509').
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
+ organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
+ VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
+ extension option.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
+ without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Support Borland C++ builder.
+ [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Support Mingw32.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Update HPUX configuration.
+ [Anonymous]
+
+ *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
+ "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
+ only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
+ DER-encoded.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
+ x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
+ Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
+ was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
+ now it really counts the depth.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
+ instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
+ messages since the error codes are not globally unique
+ (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
+ didn't match the private key).
+
+ *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
+ value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
+ connection using the SSL_CTX).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
+ David Harris.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
+ where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
+ and Linux), "threads" is the default.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
+ $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
+ such as /usr/local/bin.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
+ [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
+
+ *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
+ extension adding in x509 utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
+ prototypes.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
+ [Ulf Möller]
*) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
- have now been deleted.
+ have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
+ on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
[Steve Henson]
*) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
*) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
[Ben Laurie]
+ *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
+ [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
+
*) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
