Most notably, + - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option; + - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA; + - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and + d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make + them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be + extracted before the specific public key. + [Nils Larsch ] + + *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62 and SECG. + The curves can be obtained from the new functions + EC_GROUP_new_by_nid() + EC_GROUP_new_by_name() + Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed + via + EC_GROUP_set_nid() + EC_GROUP_get_nid() + [Nils Larsch ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx) + has been changed into + i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg). + + To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(), + a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions. + [D.

If appname is NULL + use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative + config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file + and move code to CONF_modules_load_file(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper + configuration for the versions before that. + [Corinna Vinschen and Richard Levitte] + + *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust: + check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from + the cache in this case.
