OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
- *) Disable 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
+ *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
+ sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
+ [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
+
+ *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
+ little-endian MIPS.
+ [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
+
+ *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
+ keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
+ previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
+ have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
+ depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
+ different shared library filenames on each system.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
+ warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
+ with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
+ of two sections.
+ [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) NCONF changes.
+ NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
+ NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
+ promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
+ binary backward compatibility.
+ Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
+ by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
+ For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
+ LDAP server.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
+ [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
+
+ *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
+
+ - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
+ if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
+ to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
+ that.
+
+ - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
+
+ - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
+
+ - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
+ static ones.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
+ BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
+ with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
+ implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
+ this case.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
+ X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
+ to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
+ 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
+ set.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
+
+ Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
+ and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
+ accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
+ SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
+
+ *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
+ Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
+ matter what.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
+
+ *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
+ with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
+ first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
+ (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
+ in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
+ from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
+ should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
+ by the Finished messages.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
+ [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
+
+ *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
+ not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
+ to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
+ handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
+ what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
+ appropriately.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
+ a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
+ including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
+ wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
+ counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
+ tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
+ that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
+ "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
+ case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
+ together.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
+ in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
+ write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
+ programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
+
+ The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
+ text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
+ line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
+ not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
+ seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
+ the answer.
+
+ Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
+ been tested well enough.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
it can return incorrect results.
(Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
*) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
+ [Bodo Möller]
*) Add DSO method for VMS.
[Richard Levitte]
[Steve Henson]
*) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.

+ [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
*) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
