Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2
+ *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
+ fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
+ whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
+ added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
+ OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
+ up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
+ openssl_bio.xs.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
+ [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
+ [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
+
+ *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
+ Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
+ in CRLs.
+
+ *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
+ other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
+ Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
+ <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
+ to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
+ pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
+ <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
+ perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
+ assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
+ now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
+ on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
+ OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
+ for linking it into DSOs.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
+ Fixed.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
+ questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
+ And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
+ recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
+ to the OpenSSL toolkit.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
+ display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
+ Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
+ semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
+ to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
+ stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
+ to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
+ It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
+ encryption.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
+ signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
+ the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
+ X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
+ to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
+ last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
+ generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
+ character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
+ field as blank.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
+ doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
+ button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
+ relationship to the OpenSSL project.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
+ ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
+ [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
+
+ *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
+ [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
+
+ *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
+ functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
+ stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
+ #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
+ unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add new certificate file to stack functions, SSL_add_cert_file_to_stack()
+ and SSL_add_cert_dir_to_stack(). These largely supplant
+ SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily to
+ a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
+ This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
+ to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
+ ssl/ssl_lib.c.
+ See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
+ openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
+
+ *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
+ compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
+ DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
+ their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
+ is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
+ per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
+ (e.g. s_server).
+ For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
+ for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
+ problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
+ temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
+ no way to reconfigure them.
+ The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
+ are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
+ SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
+ non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
+ function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
+ area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
+ recognized by the users.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
*) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
*not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
vectors if you have them.
[Ben Laurie]
- *) Correct caclulation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
+ *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
