OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 [XX XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
+
+ *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
+ OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
+ them in a portable way.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
+
+ *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
+
+ *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
+ (the default implementation of RAND_status).
+
+ *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
+ to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
+ [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
+ <attili@amaxo.com>]
+
+ *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
+ was larger than the MD block size.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
+
+ *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
+ fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
+ using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
+ of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
+ components.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
+ [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
+ the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
+
+ *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
+ discouraged.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
+
+ *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
+ 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
+ returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
+ 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
+ the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
+ Additional arguments are always ignored.
+
+ Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
+ the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
+
+ ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
+ as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
+ is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
+ its own key.
+ ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
+ to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
+ 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
+ you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
+ 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
+ This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
+ does not suppress any output.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
+ purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
+ accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
+ with all the associated security issues.
+
+ X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
+ automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
+ new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
+ a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
+ use the value in the default purpose.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
+ and fix a memory leak.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
+ reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
+ the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
+ automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
+ using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
+ library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
+ case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
*) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
