OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD.
+
+ *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
+ an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
+ functional reference processing.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
+ EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
+ process.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
+ to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
+ alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
+ create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
+ application to support multiple signers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
+ digest MAC.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
+ Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
+ add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
+ EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
+ PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
+ new API.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
+ supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
+ ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
+ the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
+ a no op.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
+ a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
+ algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
+ return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
+ 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
+ ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
+ use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
+ type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
+ EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
+ signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
+ between digests and public key types.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
*) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.

- Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [XX xxx XXXX]
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
+ bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
+ necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
+ positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
+ code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
+ now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
*) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
