OpenSSL CHANGES

- Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 [xx Xxx 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [XX XXX 2000]
- *)
+ *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
+ is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
+ its own key.
+ ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
+ to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
+ 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
+ you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
+ 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
+ This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
+ does not suppress any output.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
+ purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
+ accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
+ with all the associated security issues.
+
+ X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
+ automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
+ new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
+ a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
+ use the value in the default purpose.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
+ and fix a memory leak.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
+ reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
+ the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
+ automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
+ using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
+ library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
+ case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
+ converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
+ DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
+ by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
+ so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
+ which was free.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
+ instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
+ it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
+ RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
+ number generation fails.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
+ [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
+
+ *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
+
+ *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
+ [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
