Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
- *) Add the possibility, through the -egd parameter, to tell the openssl
- applications that EGD should be used as seeding source, and where
- the EGD named socket is.
+ *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
+ buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
+ BIO_write(b, ...).
+ [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
+
+ *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
+ BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
+ words set to zero.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
+ detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
+ (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
+ used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
+ BIO/fp routines also added.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
+ [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
+
+ *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
+ Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
+ demos/state_machine.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
+ generation and verification.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
+ catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
+ types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
+ encode and decode it manually.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
+ compile under VC++.
+ [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
+
+ *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
+ length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
+ if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
+
+ *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
+ length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
+ memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
+ constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
+ the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
+ through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
+ through syslog. The prefixes are now:
+
+ PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
+ ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
+ CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
+ ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
+ WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
+ NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
+ INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
+ DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
+
+ and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
+ beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
+
+ On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
+
+ LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
+ LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
+ LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
+
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
+ argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
+ are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
+ and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) MD4 implemented.
+ [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
+ names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
+ of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
+ " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
+ names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
+ names from the lookup table if they were given a default
+ value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
+ value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
+ grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
+ look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
+ short or long names are found.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
+ [Scott Uroff scott@xypro.com]
+
+ *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
+ RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
+ and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
+ version rollback attacks was not effective.
+
+ In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
+ (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
+ client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
+ SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
+ asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
+ BIO_dump_indent() are added.
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Add the possibility to tell RAND_egd() and RAND_egd_bytes() where
- the EGD named socket is through the environment variable RANDEGD.
+ *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
+ these print out strings and name structures based on various
+ flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
+ multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
+ to allow the various flags to be set.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
+ Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
+ X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
+ this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
+ dates to be checked.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
+ negative public key encodings) on by default,
+ NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
+ content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
+ the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
+ not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
+ libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
+ default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
+ are always statically linked for now, but there are
+ preparations for dynamic linking in place.
+ This has been tested on Linux and True64.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
+ Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
+ Random Numbers.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
+ DSA key.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
+ allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
+ PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
+ specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
+ form signing output easier to verify.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
+ STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
+ underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
+ already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
+ are needed because all other string types have virtually
+ identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
+ of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
+ IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
+ the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
+ and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
+
+ - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
+ the syntax given in objects.README.
+ - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
+ obj_mac.h.
+ - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
+ obj_mac.h.
+
+ This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
+ isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
+ to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
+ check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
+ around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
+ consistent name changes.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
