Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 1999]
+ *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
+ possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
+ provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
+ deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example if memory
+ pool implementations, or something else. The same is provided for
+ memory debugging code. OpenSSL already comes with code that finds
+ memory leaks, but this gives people a chance to debug other memory
+ problems.
+
+ This change means that a call `CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON)'
+ is no longer dependent on if the macro CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends were
+ used when the OpenSSL libcrypto was built. This is under debate and
+ may change back, but with another option to still get debugging even
+ if the library wasn't compiled that way.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
+ ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
+ was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
+ algorithm.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
+ ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
+ [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
+ S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
+ functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
+ called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
+ originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
+ included in OpenSSL.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
+ des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
+ decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
+ des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
+ the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
+ have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
+ PKCS12 structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
+ dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
+ table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
+ functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
+ application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
+ structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
+ need initialising.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
+ works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
+ extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
+ and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
+ crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
+ updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
+ in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
+ this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
+ be maintained manually.
+
+ There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
+ can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
+ X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
+ [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
+ work because people forget to call this function]
+ Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
+ so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
+ X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
+ magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
+ to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
+ should be discouraged from doing it.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
*) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
