This code was + previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch. + [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte] + + *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to + have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename + depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the + different shared library filenames on each system. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces + warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling + with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping + of two sections. + [Bernd Matthes , Steve Henson] + + *) NCONF changes. + NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement, + NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is + promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for + binary backward compatibility. + Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO, + by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO. + For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an + LDAP server. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c + [Jean-Marc Desperrier ] + + *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries: + + - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and + if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0 + to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for + that. + + - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible. + + - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries. + + - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the + static ones. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason + BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs + with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was + implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover + this case. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for + X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function + to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional + 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be + set. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument. + + Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new + and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the + accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by + SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake. + [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz ] + + *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms. + Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no + matter what. + [Richard Levitte] + + Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000] + + *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced + with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the + first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version. + (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened + in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number + from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice + should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated + by the Finished messages. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows. + [Jeffrey Altman ] + + *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is + not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors + to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does + handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows + what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes + appropriately. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for + a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything + including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would + wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal + counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the + tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE: + that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type + "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this + case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all + together. + [Steve Henson] + + *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to + in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will + write a separate record, which will be read separately by the + programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing. + + The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer + text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a + line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line, + not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've + seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is + the answer. + + Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has + been tested well enough. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery, + it can return incorrect results. + (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a, + but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached + signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly) + include zero length content when signing messages. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR + BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs). + [Bodo Möller] + + *) Add DSO method for VMS. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the + wrong sign. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three + packages. The default package contains applications, application + documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains + include files, static libraries and function documentation. The + doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original + openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller . + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines. + [Lutz Jaenicke ] + + *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4. + [NAKAJI Hiroyuki ] + + *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a + random number < q in the DSA library. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default + behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if + the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place. + (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client + and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read; + but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it + just makes things more complicated.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read + from EGD. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509' + work better on such systems. + [Martin Kraemer ] + + *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create(). + Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the + keyid to the certificates aux info. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop + if there was more than one signature. + [Sven Uszpelkat ] + + *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information + about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well + as functions. This change means that there's n more need + to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application, + rather than always using the current time. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate + verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a + number of criteria: subject name, authority key id + and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates + by the same criteria. The main comparison function is + X509_check_issued() which performs these checks. + + Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this + without completely rewriting the lookup code. + + Authority and subject key identifier are now cached. + + The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced + by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an + LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with + the same hash value. + + As a result various functions (which were all internal + use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE + structure. This will break anything that messed round + with X509_STORE internally. + + The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an + exact match, rather than just subject name. + + The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval + of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however + this can be worked round by performing a lookup first + (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates) + and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably + the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP + entirely (maybe later...). + + The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably. + + All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer() + callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it + can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way + to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this + work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques + in future. A very simple version which uses a simple + STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided + using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack(). + + The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents + in the X509_STORE_CTX structure. + + X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used + to customise the verify behaviour. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which + excludes S/MIME capabilities. + [Steve Henson] + + *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the + original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing + again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than + a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the + request is improperly encoded. + [Steve Henson] + + *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call + buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling + BIO_write(b, ...). + + In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write. + [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr] + + *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use + BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of + words set to zero.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are + detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined + (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be + used for low level RSA operations. DER public key + BIO/fp routines also added. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4. + [Andreas Schneider ] + + *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by + Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in + demos/state_machine. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature + generation and verification. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a + catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported + types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can + encode and decode it manually. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c + compile under VC++. + [Oscar Jacobsson ] + + *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct + length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed + if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg ] + + *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite + length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in + memory there's not real point in using indefinite length + constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with + the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf(). + [Richard Levitte] *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available @@ -35,7 +380,7 @@ [Richard Levitte] *) MD4 implemented. - [Assar Westerlund , Richard Levitte] + [Assar Westerlund , Richard Levitte] *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
