Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
+ read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
+ parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
+ still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
+ 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
+ the given serial number (according to the index file).
+ 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
+ in the index file.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+ *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
+ '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
+ so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
+ [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
+
+ *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
+ [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
+ is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
+ certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
+ value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
+ to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
+ call failed, free the DSA structure.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
+ file name and line number information in additional arguments
+ (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
+ well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
+ realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
+ additional arguments. To register and find out the current
+ settings for extended allocation functions, the following
+ functions are provided:
+
+ CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
+ CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
+ CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
+ CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
+
+ These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
+ CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
+ extended allocation function is enabled.
+ Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
+ a conventional allocation function is enabled.
+ [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
+ These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
+ There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
+ the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
+ the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
+ (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
+ If an EGD or PRNGD is running and enough entropy is returned, automatic
+ seeding like with /dev/[u]random will be performed.
+ Positions tried are: /etc/entropy, /var/run/egd-pool.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
+ random devices and only read data for a small fragment of time
+ to avoid hangs. Also separate out the Unix variant to it's own
+ file, rand_unix.c. For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
+ provide utility functions which an application needing
+ to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
+ response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
+ OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
+
+ OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
+ to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
+ response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
+ from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
+ information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
+ when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
+ level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
+ wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
+ extensions in the OCSP response for example.
+
+ Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
+ OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
+ generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
+ validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
+ This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
+ need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
+ to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
+ This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
+ Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
+ is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
+ clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
+ will be added elsewhere.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
