RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
- o BIGNUM library failures on 64-bit platforms (0.9.7-dev)
+ o
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o IA-64 (a.k.a. Intel Itanium) public-key operation performance
- patch for Linux is available for download at
- http://www.openssl.org/~appro/096b.linux-ia64.diff. As URL
- suggests the patch is relative to OpenSSL 0.9.6b.

IN PROGRESS
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
- Kerberos 5 authentication
+ Kerberos 5 authentication (Heimdal)
Constification
- OCSP
+ Compression
+ Attribute Certificate support
+ Certificate Pair support
+ Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
+ Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
NEEDS PATCH
- o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
-
- o OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
- #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
- e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
+ o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
+ handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
- o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
- or an error is reported
+ o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)
-
- o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
- totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
- with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
- Net::SSLeay package we can find under
- http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
- longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
- to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
- Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
- us.
-
- Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
- and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
- to date.

WISHES
+ o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
+ where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
