65 o OpenSSL 0.9.5a: Released on April 1st, 2000
66 o OpenSSL 0.9.5: Released on February 28th, 2000
67 o OpenSSL 0.9.4: Released on August 09th, 1999
68 o OpenSSL 0.9.3a: Released on May 29th, 1999
69 o OpenSSL 0.9.3: Released on May 25th, 1999
70 o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
71 o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
77 o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
81 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
82 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
83 EVP cipher enhancement.
84 Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
85 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
86 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
87 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
88 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
89 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
90 o Richard is currently working on:
91 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
92 functionality that is currently missing).
93 Dynamic thread-lock support.
94 Shared library support for VMS.
98 o non-blocking socket on AIX
99 o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
100 o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
104 o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
107 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
109 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
110 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
111 src/Configure. It confuses.
112 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
113 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
114 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
115 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
116 which are currently in Configure.
118 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
119 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
120 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
121 solution to be really simple.
123 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
124 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
125 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
127 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
128 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
132 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
133 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
134 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
135 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
136 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
137 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
138 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
139 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
142 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
143 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
