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>]
+
+ *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
+ SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves 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/0.9.6c (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001, 9 July 2001
- and 21 Dec 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
+ *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
+ Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
+ returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
+ when using non-blocking I/O.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
+
+ *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
+ [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
+ ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
+ after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
+ ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
+ on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
+ init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
+ argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
+ SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
+ declaration has been changed from
+ int (*cb)()
+ into
+ int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
+ in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
+ i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
+ has been changed into
+ i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
+
+ To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
+ a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
+ [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
+
+ +) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
+ [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
+ Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
+ OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
+ This allows older applications to transparently support certain
+ OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
+ Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
+ load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
+ always load it have also been added.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
+ Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
+ [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Config modules support in openssl utility.
+
+ Most commands now load modules from the config file,
+ though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
+ because it couldn't be used for anything.
+
+ In the case of ca and req the config file used is
+ the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
+ command line option can be used to specify an
+ alternative file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
+ use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
+ config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
+ and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) 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"
