This should mark the + shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should + be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add the following functions: + + ENGINE_load_cswift() + ENGINE_load_chil() + ENGINE_load_atalla() + ENGINE_load_nuron() + ENGINE_load_builtin_engines() + + That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that + are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is + that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso + libraries unless it's really needed. + + Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand. + Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some + declarations (they differed!). + [Richard Levitte] + + *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and + identity, and test if they are actually available. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix. + [Albert Chin-A-Young ] + + *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making + sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root. + [Damien Miller ] + + *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and + little-endian MIPS. + [Ralf Baechle ] + + *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of + keys (public as well as private) handled by engines. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. 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 ]
