OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
+ Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
+
+ *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
+
+ Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
+ (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
+
+ ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
+ library. Most notably,
+ - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
+ - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
+ - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
+ d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
+ them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
+ extracted before the specific public key.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Add reference counting for EC_GROUP objects.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Include some named elliptic curves. These can be obtained from
+ the new functions
+ EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
+ EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
+ Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
+ via
+ EC_GROUP_set_nid()
+ EC_GROUP_get_nid()
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2002]
- OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
- and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
+ OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c/0.9.6d (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001,
+ 9 July 2001, 21 Dec 2001 and xx XXX 2002) and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were
+ developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
Change log entries are tagged as follows:
- -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
- *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
+ -) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d only
+ *) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d and 0.9.7
+) applies to 0.9.7 only
+ *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
+ configuration for the versions before that.
+ [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
+ check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
+ the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
+ <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
+ is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
+ flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
+ Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
+ Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
+ value is 0.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
+ make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
+ [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
+ [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
+ Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
+ implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
+ handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
+ FORMAT_IISSGC.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
+ [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
+
+ +) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
+ BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
+ ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add new functions
+ ERR_peek_last_error
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
+ These are similar to
+ ERR_peek_error
+ ERR_peek_error_line
+ ERR_peek_error_line_data,
+ but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
+ still in the error queue.
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
+
+) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
like:
default_algorithms = ALL
+) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
- but are named _old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the des_*
- symbols to the corresponding _old_des_*.
+ but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
+ des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_*.
All this is done because there are increasing clashes with libdes
and other DES libraries that are currently used by other projects.
The old libdes interface (including crypt()) is provided if
<openssl/des_old.h> is included. For now, this automatically
- happens in <openssl/des.h> unless OPENSSL_NO_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is
+ happens in <openssl/des.h> unless OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is
defined. Note that crypt() is no longer declared in <openssl/des.h>.
NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
