* Which is the current version of OpenSSL?
The current version is available from <URL: http://www.openssl.org>.
-OpenSSL 1.0.0 was released on Mar 29th, 2010.
+OpenSSL 1.0.0d was released on Feb 8th, 2011.
In addition to the current stable release, you can also access daily

* Where can I get a compiled version of OpenSSL?
You can finder pointers to binary distributions in
-http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html .
+<URL: http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html> .
Some applications that use OpenSSL are distributed in binary form.
When using such an application, you don't need to install OpenSSL
Other projects do have other policies so you can for example extract the CA
bundle used by Mozilla and/or modssl as described in this article:

* I've found a security issue, how do I report it?
If you think your bug has security implications then please send it to
openssl-security@openssl.org if you don't get a prompt reply at least
acknowledging receipt then resend or mail it directly to one of the

-[PROG] Questions about programming with OpenSSL
-
-* Is OpenSSL thread-safe?
-* I've compiled a program under Windows and it crashes: why?
-* How do I read or write a DER encoded buffer using the ASN1 functions?
-* OpenSSL uses DER but I need BER format: does OpenSSL support BER?
-* I've tried using <M_some_evil_pkcs12_macro> and I get errors why?
-* I've called <some function> and it fails, why?
-* I just get a load of numbers for the error output, what do they mean?
-* Why do I get errors about unknown algorithms?
-* Why can't the OpenSSH configure script detect OpenSSL?
-* Can I use OpenSSL's SSL library with non-blocking I/O?
-* Why doesn't my server application receive a client certificate?
-* Why does compilation fail due to an undefined symbol NID_uniqueIdentifier?
-* I think I've detected a memory leak, is this a bug?
-* Why does Valgrind complain about the use of uninitialized data?
-* Why doesn't a memory BIO work when a file does?
-* Where are the declarations and implementations of d2i_X509() etc?
