Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 1999]
+ *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
+ behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
+ -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
+ only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
+ unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
+ draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
+ international characters are used.
+
+ More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
+ based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
+ attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
+ in ASN1 order.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
+ automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
+ file containing all the field values and have req construct the
+ request.
+
+ Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
+ used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
+ structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
+ some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
+ manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
+ attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
+
+ Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
+ automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
+ more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
+ be handled by the string table functions.
+
+ Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
+ a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
+ can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
+ is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
+ (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
+ types at all.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
*) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
- $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extention results in 20-30%
+ $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
SHA1.

The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library

the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
- the effective key length. In this case the effective key lenth can still
+ the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
*) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
- no longer acesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
+ no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.

copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
