This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't + handle several customised structures at all. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such + as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support + these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one + place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now + handled using new ASN1 code equivalents. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD + pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new, + SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously + unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of + all fields. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. + [Steve Henson] + + Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [XX xxx XXXX] + + *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at + runtime, thus removing the need for a lock. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman. + [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie] + + *) Add functions for well-known primes. + [Nick Mathewson] + + *) Extended Windows CE support. + [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov] + + *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during + runtime, thus removing the need for a lock. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by + attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to + smime utility. + [Steve Henson] + + Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005] + + *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private + key into the same file any more. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'. + [Stefan and Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify + PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and + use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code: + - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after + a fixed number of uses (currently 32) + - add new function for parameter creation + - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the + BN_BLINDING parameters + - hide BN_BLINDING structure + Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve + performance when a single RSA object is shared among several + threads. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Add support for DTLS. + [Nagendra Modadugu and Ben Laurie] + + *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1) + to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file() + [Walter Goulet] + + *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from + ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for + the apps/openssl applications. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes + -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently + DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default. + The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx". + + The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless + "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified. + + (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA + is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license + fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to + avoid this algorithm.) + + [Bodo Moeller] *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820).
