Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
+ ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
+ instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
+ new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
+ be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
+ references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
+ macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
+ use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
+ is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
+ functions returning pointers to structures is not.

+
+ *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
+ These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
+ The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
+ the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
+ can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
+ command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
+ to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
+ of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
+ '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
+ the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+ New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+ sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+ with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+ sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+ opensslconf.h.
+ Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+ specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
+ are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
+ macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+ from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+ what is available.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+ number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+ signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
+ CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+ auto incremented.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+ due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+ 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+ 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+ 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+ nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
+ inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+ assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
+ Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
+ supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
+ disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
+ API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
+ not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
+ of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
+ Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
+ to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
+ and leaves the highest bit random.
[Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
*) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
projects / openssl.git / blobdiff
