[PROG] Questions about programming with OpenSSL
* Which is the current version of OpenSSL?
The current version is available from <URL: http://www.openssl.org>.
-OpenSSL 0.9.6h was released on December 5, 2002.
+OpenSSL 0.9.7 was released on December 31, 2002.
In addition to the current stable release, you can also access daily
snapshots of the OpenSSL development version at <URL:
but the build should be operational. For further details turn to
<openssl-dev@openssl.org>.
-* Why does OpenBSD-i386 build fail on des-586.s with "Unimplemented
- segment type"?
-
-As of 0.9.7 assembler routines were overhauled for position independency
-of the machine code, which is essential for shared library support. Now
-for some reason OpenBSD is equipped with out-of-date GNU assembler which
-finds the new code offending. To work the problem around configure with
-no-asm (and sacrifice a great deal of performance) or upgrade /usr/bin/as.
-For your convenience a pre-compiled replacement binary is provided as
-http://www.openssl.org/~appro/i386-openbsd3-as, which is compiled from
-binutils-2.8 released in 1997.
