Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4
+ *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
+ delete an unused file.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
+ since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
+ This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
+ the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
+ without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
+ and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
+ of an error.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
+ for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
+ 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
+ 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
+ comparison" warnings.
+ 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
+ you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
+ derived keys are printed to stderr.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
+ [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
+
+ *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
+ keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
+
+ It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
+ the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
+ parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
+
+ Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
+ the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
+ EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
+ This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
+ the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
+ this bug.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
+
+ *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
+ The interface is as follows:
+ Applications can use
+ CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
+ CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
+ "off" is now the default.
+ The library internally uses
+ CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
+ CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
+ to disable memory-checking temporarily.
+
+ Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
+ even the default) are now avoided.
+
+ -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
+ with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
+ than just having a counter.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
+ which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
+ whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
+ Initial "mode" flags (still experimental) are:
+
+ SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
+ a single record has been written.
+ SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
+ retries use the same buffer location.
+ (But all of the contents must be
+ copied!)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
+ worked.
+
+ *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
+ [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
+
+ *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
+ RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
+ to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
+ Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
+ test programs.
+ [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
+ up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
+ store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
+ than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
+ point to the end.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
+ <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
+
+ *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
+ of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
+ function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
+ certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
+ case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
+ distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
+ function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
+ necessary function names.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
+ options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
+ was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
+ Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
+ file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
+ for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
+ Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
+ must use this, not the compile-time macro.
+ (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
+ such programs?)
+ Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
+ need locks.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) 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.
