+ Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [xx XXX 2016]
+
+ *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
+ calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
+ were also closed.
+ [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
+
+ *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
+ and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
+ with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
+ SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
+ X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
+ int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
+ So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
+ and the validity of object reference counter.
+ [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
+
+ *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
+ alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
+ library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
+ generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
+ recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
+ to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
+ KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
+
+ KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
+
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
+ 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
+ Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
+ OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
+ directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
+ name and is used as is.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
+ X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
+ X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
+ the "no-shared" Configure option.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
+ All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
+ algorithms.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
+ global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
+ via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
+ Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
+ OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
+ functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
+ EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
+ RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
+ COMP_zlib_cleanup().
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
+ such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
+ enabled with '--debug' builds.
+ [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
+ have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
+ these have been added.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
+ objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
+ functions for managing these have been added.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
+ have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
+ these have been added.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
+ moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
+ have been added.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
+ it is always safe to #include a header now.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Add support for HKDF.
+ [Alessandro Ghedini]
+
+ *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
+ [Bill Cox]
+
+ *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
+ EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
+ encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
+ ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
+ to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
+ into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
+ processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
+ offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
+ AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
+ [Catriona Lucey]
+
+ *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
+ set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
+ are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
+ also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
+ old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
+ replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
+ [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
+ callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
+ [Todd Short]
+
+ *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
+ [Todd Short]
+
+ *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
+ - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
+ - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
+ - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
+ - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
+ - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
+ default cipherlist.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
+ secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
+ disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
+ enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
+ client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
+ This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
+ implemented by other servers.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Add X25519 support.
+ Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
+ for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
+ draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
+ OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
+ format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
+ little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
+ structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
+ and uses X25519(29).
+
+ Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
+ private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
+ Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
+ are NOT supported.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
+ SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
+ In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
+ SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
+ seed, even if the seed is configured.
+
+ Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
+ SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
+ also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
+ invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
+ credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
+ guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
+ that of a valid user.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
+ without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
+ only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
+ will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
+
+ Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
+ the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
+
+ The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
+ presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
+ code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
+ with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
+
+ The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
+ are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
+ irrelevant.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
+ position independent code, it will always be applied on the
+ libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
+ object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
+ libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
+ of how OpenSSL was configured.
+
+ If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
+ or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
+ also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
+ DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
+ is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
+ removed.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
+ for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
+ old #define's might need to be updated.
+ [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) New "unified" build system
+
+ The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
+ platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
+
+ This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
+ than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
+ or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
+
+ The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
+ small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
+ information for each directory with source to compile, and a
+ template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
+ descrip.mms.tmpl.
+
+ We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
+ OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
+ except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
+ OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
+ "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
+
+ *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
+ support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
+ modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
+ which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
+ It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
+ BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
+ The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
+ have been adapted accordingly.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
+ the leading 0-byte.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
+ compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
+ by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
+ using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) The signature of the session callback configured with
+ SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
+ was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
+ 'unsigned char*'.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
+ RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
+ DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
+ MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
+ BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
+ IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
+ RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
+ [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
+ [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
+ Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
+ produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
+ crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
+ Text::Template.
+
+ Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
+ Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
+ configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
+ table %config), the target data that comes from the target
+ configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
+ %target).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
+ --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
+ straightforward and less interdependent.
+
+ --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
+ where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
+ going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
+
+ --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
+ location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
+ managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
+ installed.
+ If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
+ values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
+ be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
+ The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
+
+ Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
+ installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
+ to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
+ See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
+ support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
+ is present).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
+ configuring.
+ [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
+
+ *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
+ create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
+ before trying to build now.*
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
+ has changed.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
+
+ Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
+ the application's responsibility. The application provides
+ the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
+ used to authenticate the peer.
+
+ The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
+ example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
+ trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
+ of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
+ based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
+ *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
+ continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
+ However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
+ source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
+ the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
+ or the 1.1.0 releases.
+
+ In environments in which all applications have been ported to
+ not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
+ should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
+ support for the deprecated features from the library and
+ unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
+ Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
+ argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
+ the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
+ version.
+
+ As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
+ they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
+ accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
+ compile with later releases.
+
+ The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
+ 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
+ versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
+ so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
+ of just the undeprecated features of either release.
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
+ *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
+ It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
+ SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
+ MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
+ protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
+ SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
+ removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
+ client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
+ and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
+ now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
+ ECDSA_SIG format.
+
+ Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
+ include the ec.h header file instead.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
+ ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
+ exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
+ opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
+ were added:
+
+ HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
+ void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
+
+ For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
+ destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
+ EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
+
+ Additional changes:
+ 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
+ HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
+ EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
+ an already created structure.
+ 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
+ destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
+ EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
+ for deprecated builds.
+ [Richard Levitte]
