Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 1999]
+ *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
+ for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
+ avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
+ the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
+ as the root CA.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
+ the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
+ X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
+ structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
+ they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
+ instead.
+
+ So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
+ when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
+ PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
+ things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
+ because they handle more complex structures.)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
+ as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
+ NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
+ [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
+ has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
+ (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
+ error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
+ guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
+ 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
+ instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks definition
+ in crypto/bn/bn.h for the complete table). This guarantees a
+ false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 (actually less because we are
+ additionally doing trial division) for random input.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
*) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.

deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
- the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively. Also, The same
- is provided for memory debugging code. OpenSSL already comes with
- functionality to find memory leaks, but this gives people a chance

+ compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
+ OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
+ this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
*) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
- allocation was originated. Also updated sid code to be multi-
- thread-safe.
+ allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
+ the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
+ stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
+ is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
+ Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
for all purposes.

- *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD). The
- problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
- SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced with
- non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
- improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
