+ Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [XX May 1999]
+ [I suggest using the same format for the
+ date as in opensslv.h. 0.9.1c used
+ hyphens in the date, so I wrote
+ [23-Dec-1998] down below; but in later
+ versions, these hyphens are gone.]
+
+ *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
+ (which means, in function argument declarartions, pointer to char)
+ to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
+ which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
+ that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
+
+ Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
+ problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
+ and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
+ to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
+ NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
+ key elements as negative integers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) VMS support.
+ [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
+
+ *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
+ output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
+ option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
+ that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
+ SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
+ in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
+ intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
+ -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
+ -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
+ handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
+ [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
+
+ *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
+ copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
+ various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
+ is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
+ any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
+ ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
+ As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
+ we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
+ was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
+
+ Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
+ in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
+ Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
+ does not influence s as it used to.
+
+ In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
+ we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
+ that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
+ the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
+ and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
+ meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
+ from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
+ evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
+ key type.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
+ environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
+ variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
+ and 'x509').
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
+ organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
+ VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
+ extension option.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
+ without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Support Borland C++ builder.
+ [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Support Mingw32.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Update HPUX configuration.
+ [Anonymous]
+
+ *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
+ "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
+ only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
+ DER-encoded.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
+ x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
+ Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
+ was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
+ now it really counts the depth.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
+ instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
+ messages since the error codes are not globally unique
+ (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
+ didn't match the private key).
+
+ *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
+ value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
+ connection using the SSL_CTX).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
+ David Harris.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
+ where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
+ and Linux), "threads" is the default.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
+ $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
+ such as /usr/local/bin.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
+ [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
+
+ *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
+ extension adding in x509 utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
+ prototypes.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
+ by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
+ header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
+ than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
+ read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
+ aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
+ translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
+ in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
+ have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
+ on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
+ 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix some race conditions.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
+ Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
+ 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
+ between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
+ [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
+
+ *) Fix lots of warnings.
+ [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
+
+ *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
+ the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
+ [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
+
+ *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) Change functions to ANSI C.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Fix typos in error codes.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
+ Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
+ return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
+ types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
+ add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
+ fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
+ support typesafe stack.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
+ [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
+
+ *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
+ old X509V3 handling code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New Configure option "rsaref".
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
*) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
[Ben Laurie]
+ *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
+ [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
+
*) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
