OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+
+ *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
+ little-endian MIPS.
+ [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
+
+ *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
+ keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
+ previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
+ have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
+ depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
+ different shared library filenames on each system.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
+ warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
+ with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
+ of two sections.
+ [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) NCONF changes.
+ NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
+ NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
+ promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
+ binary backward compatibility.
+ Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
+ by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
+ For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
+ LDAP server.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
+ [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
+
+ *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
+
+ - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
+ if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
+ to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
+ that.
+
+ - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
+
+ - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
+
+ - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
+ static ones.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
+ BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
+ with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
+ implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
+ this case.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
+ X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
+ to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
+ 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
+ set.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
+
+ Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
+ and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
+ accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
+ SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
+
+ *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
+ Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
+ matter what.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
*) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
