IRIX 6 passes "make test" now! + This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5. + [Andy Polyakov ] + + *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros. + These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break + existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK + and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with + sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members + are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set + replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value + (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code + that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but + this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now + correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock + (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char) + to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements), + which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like + that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts. + + Introduce new type const_des_cblock. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious + problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate + and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion + to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option + NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public + key elements as negative integers. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Reorganize and speed up MD5. + [Andy Polyakov ] + + *) VMS support. + [Richard Levitte ] + + *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be + output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse + option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer + that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before + SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted + in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as + intended anyway -- now it really works as intended). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall + -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes + -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+ + [Ralf S. Engelschall] + + *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to + handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly. + [Sebastian Akerman , modified by Steve] + + *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of + copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in + various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert + is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert + any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need). + ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change. + As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?), + we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert + was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures. + + Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result + in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions: + Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx) + does not influence s as it used to. + + In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION + we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT + that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is + the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate + and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have + meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure + from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some + evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing + key type. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the + environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment + variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req' + and 'x509'). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the + organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but + VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509' + extension option. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic, + without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Support Borland C++ builder. + [Janez Jere , modified by Ulf Möller] + + *) Support Mingw32. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements. + [Andy Polyakov ] + + *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library. + [Andy Polyakov ] + + *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Update HPUX configuration. + [Anonymous] + + *) Add missing sk__unshift() function to safestack.h + [Ralf S. Engelschall] + + *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the + "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense + only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not + DER-encoded.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API. + x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error: + Its depth (which was not part of the external interface) + was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain; + now it really counts the depth. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used + instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error + messages since the error codes are not globally unique + (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate + didn't match the private key). + + *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default + value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each + connection using the SSL_CTX). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) OAEP decoding bug fix. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by + David Harris. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems + where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris + and Linux), "threads" is the default. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to + $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories + such as /usr/local/bin. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries. + [Niels Poppe ] *) New Configure option no- (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
