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>]
+
+ *) Add reference counting for EC_GROUP objects.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Include some named elliptic curves. These 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 (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 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
+ +) 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"
+ <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
+ is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
+ flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
+ Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
+ Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
+ value is 0.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
+ make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
+ [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
+ [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
+ Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
+ implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
+ handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
+ FORMAT_IISSGC.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
+ [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
+
+ +) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
+ BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
+ ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add new functions
+ ERR_peek_last_error
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
+ These are similar to
+ ERR_peek_error
+ ERR_peek_error_line
+ ERR_peek_error_line_data,
+ but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
+ still in the error queue.
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
+ like:
+ default_algorithms = ALL
+ default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
+ ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
+ variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
+ received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
+ invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
+ function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
+ place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
+ session cache.
+
+ To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
+ using a local variable.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
+ if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New experimental application configuration code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
+ ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
+
+ +) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
+ symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
+ the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
+ [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
+ type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
+ [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
+
+ -) OpenSSL 0.9.6c released [21 dec 2001]
+
+ +) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
+ [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
+
+ *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
+ <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
+ worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
+ 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
+ present.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
+ OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
+ Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
+ incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
+ [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add option to output public keys in req command.
+ [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
+
+ *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
+ returns early because it has nothing to do.
+ [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
+
+ *) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
+ Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
+ [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
+
+ -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
+ Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
+ (Use engine 'keyclient')
+ [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
+ is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
+ rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
+ modules).
+ [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
+
+ +) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
+ (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
-) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
from 0.9.7.
[Bodo Moeller]
+) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
- with DES_ instead. This because there are increasing clashes with
- libdes and other des libraries that are currently used by other
- projects. The old libdes interface is provided, as well as crypt(),
- if openssl/des_old.h is included. Note that crypt() is no longer
- declared in openssl/des.h.
+ with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
+ but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
+ des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_*.
+
+ All this is done because there are increasing clashes with libdes
+ and other DES libraries that are currently used by other projects.
+ The old libdes interface (including crypt()) is provided if
+ <openssl/des_old.h> is included. For now, this automatically
+ happens in <openssl/des.h> unless OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is
+ defined. Note that crypt() is no longer declared in <openssl/des.h>.
NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
*) BN_sqr() bug fix.
[Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
- *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
+ +) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
"ERR_unload_strings" function.
[Geoff Thorpe]
parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
[Geoff Thorpe]
+ *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
+ [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
+
+ *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
+ little-endian MIPS.
+ [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
-) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
*) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
[Bodo Moeller]
- +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
- of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
- including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
+ +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
+ of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
+ \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
+ optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
+ scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
+
EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
generator).
identity, and test if they are actually available.
[Richard Levitte]
- +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
- [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
-
+) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
[Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
- +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
- little-endian MIPS.
- [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
-
+) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
[Richard Levitte]
+) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
[Richard Levitte]
- +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
- [Richard Levitte]
-
+) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
projects / openssl.git / blobdiff
