Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
+ convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
+ and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
+ data structure without incrementing reference counters.
+ (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
+ counter, some don't.)
+ Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
+ counters or duplicate objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
+ the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
+ [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
+ pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
+
+ *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
+ RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
+ the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
+ or -rand.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
+ Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
+ list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
+ is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
+ cipher list.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
+ EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
+ EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
+ where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
+ Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
+ many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
+ called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
+ should work without changes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
+ sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
+ compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
+ one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
+ must be defined. E.g.,
+ #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
+ #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
+ defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
+ [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
+ record layer.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
+ X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
+ the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
+ argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
+ better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
+ request header lines. Some software needs this.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
(1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
- guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable.
+ guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
+ RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
+ (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
[Ulf Möller]
*) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
*) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
[Bodo Moeller]
- *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain(), this returns the chain
+ *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
+ in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
- reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello and include the
- data just received.
+ reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
- Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*() and add
- EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*()
- except they up the reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow"
- the supplied key).
+ Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
+ (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
+ EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
+ that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
+ reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
+ supplied key).
[Steve Henson]
*) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
