Check out INSTALL.W32 for info. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections + without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key, + and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case + of an error. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check + for verifying the consistency of RSA keys. + [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller] + + *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work: + 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c + 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned + comparison" warnings. + 3. Add sk__sort to DEF file generator and do make update. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when + you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and + derived keys are printed to stderr. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup(). + [Roman E. Pavlov ] + + *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA + keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match. + + It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key: + the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's + parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate. + + Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also + the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in + EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match. + This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and + the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have + this bug. + [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson ] + + *) Memory leak checking had some problems. The interface is as follows: + Applications can use + CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(), + CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop(); + "off" is now the default. + The library internally uses + CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(), + CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on() + to disable memory-checking temporarily. + + Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were + even the default) are now avoided. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX), + which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour, + whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour. + Initial "mode" flags (still experimental) are: + + SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when + a single record has been written. + SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write + retries use the same buffer location. + (But all of the contents must be + copied!) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode + worked. + + *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc. + [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington ] + + *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and + RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having + to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime. + Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some + test programs. + [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess + up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just + store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather + than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to + point to the end. + [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler + ] + + *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification + of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the + function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the + certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the + case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be + distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the + function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the + necessary function names. + [Steve Henson] + + *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the + options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure + was not even able to write more than one option correctly. + Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config + file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will + for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS. + Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions + must use this, not the compile-time macro. + (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by + such programs?) + Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't + need locks. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests + through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e. + SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications + can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is + appropriate. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value + for the encoded length. + [Jeon KyoungHo ] + + *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and + PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to + PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more + secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5 + _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter. + [Ralf S. Engelschall] + + *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking + wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling + PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some + unusual formatting. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed + to use the new extension code. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c + with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra + arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a + constant. + [Steve Henson] + *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep, according to Mark Crispin .
