o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
o Compilation warnings: ctype-related int vs. char
o Compilation error: "unsigned long*" and "int*" under AIX
- o Undefined BN symbols in assembler stuff on Solaris
- (see posting "openssl-SNAP-19990308-2130 on Solaris-2.6 SC4" in openssl-dev)
- o BN assembler code in r3000.s, mips*.s and pa-risc*.s is broken
o BSD/OS: assembler functions must not have leading underscores
- o Niels Poppe reports that RSA fails with alpha.s
- o exptest fails with irix64-*
+ o exptest and rsa_oaep_test fail with irix64-*
(Don Badrak <dbadrak@geo.census.gov>: "Re: Problems to compile openssl
on IRIX 6.2", openssl-users)
o BN_add test fails on Caldera OpenLinux 1.3
(Marc Christensen <Marc.Christensen@m.cc.utah.edu>
"Compiles but fails big number test?", openssl-users)
+ o make test fails on AIX
+ (jvant@bsumail.idbsu.edu on openssl-users)
AVAILABLE PATCHES
o OCSP (titchenert@certco.com)
- o unsigned vs. non-unsigned (levitte@stacken.kth.se)
o Install prefix for packagers (dharris@drh.net)
o getenv in ca.c and x509_def.c (jaltman@watsun.cc.columbia.edu)
o linux dynamic libs (colin@field.medicine.adelaide.edu.au)
o MingW support (niklas@canit.se)
- o SPARC v8 assembler implementations of bn_asm.c
- (appro@fy.chalmers.se)
IN PROGRESS
Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
Documentation on X509 V3 extension code.
PKCS#12 code cleanup and enhancement.
+ PKCS #8 and PKCS#5 v2.0 support.
+ Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
+ Redo error code and DEF file generation scripts.
o Mark is currently working on:
Folding in any changes that are in the C2Net code base that were
o broken demos
o salzr@certco.com (Rich Salz): Bug in X509_name_print
<29E0A6D39ABED111A36000A0C99609CA2C2BA4@macertco-srv1.ma.certco.com>
- o autogenerated code in pem.h
o Jean-Hugues ROYER <jhroyer@joher.com>: rsa_oaep.c with Watcom C
o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
which are currently in Configure.
- 2. The xxx.org -> xxx.h generation:
- It's not obvious for which file xxx.org is the source.
- Suggestion: Rename xxx.org to xxx.h.in (Autoconf style), this way
- one sees that xxx.h.in is the input for xxx.h
-
- Status: Mark +1
-
o The installation under "make install" produces a very
installation layout: $prefix/certs and $prefix/private dirs. That's
not nice. Ralf suggests to move the two certs and private dirs either
> go. I also noticed the even with -DNO_IDEA, _DNO_RC2, etc. the make
> still goes into those subdirectories and 'makes'.
- o The "exported" header files should not use #include "foo.h", but
- #include <foo.h> or even better #include <ssl/foo.h> or
- #include <openssl/foo.h> in order to avoid filename clashes.
-
o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
or similar.
