OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
+ Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
+ an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
+ an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
+ functional reference processing.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
+ EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
+ process.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
+ to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
+ alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
+ create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
+ application to support multiple signers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
+ digest MAC.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
+ Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
+ add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
+ EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
+ PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
+ new API.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
+ supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
+ ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
+ the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
+ a no op.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
+ a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
+ algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
+ return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
+ 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
+ ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
+ use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
+ type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
+ EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
+ signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
+ between digests and public key types.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
+ translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
+ rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
+ needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
+ structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
+ key ASN1 method.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
+ pkeyutl.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
+ public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
+ command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
+ generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
+ pkey, genpkey.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) BeOS support.
[Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
*) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
[Steve Henson]
- Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [XX xxx XXXX]
+ *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
+ [NTT]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
+ dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
+ versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
+ (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
+ Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
+
+ To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
+ series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
+ is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
+ [NTT]
+
+ *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
+ bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
+ necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
+ positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
+ code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
+ now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
+
+ *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
+ cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.

Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
+ [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
+ OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
+
*) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.

differing sizes.
[Richard Levitte]
+ Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
+ dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
+
+ *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
+ module in FIPS mode.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
+ from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
+ "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
+ build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
*) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
