Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
+ *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
+ functions
+ EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
+ EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
+ EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
+ EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
+ These control ASN1 encoding details:
+ - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
+ has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
+ - Points are encoded in compressed form by default; options for
+ asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
+ POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
+ POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
+ POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
+ of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
+ EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Add functions
+ EC_POINT_point2bn()
+ EC_POINT_bn2point()
+ EC_POINT_point2hex()
+ EC_POINT_hex2point()
+ providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
+ EC_POINT_oct2point().
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
+ EC_GROUP_set_generator()
+ EC_GROUP_get_generator()
+ EC_GROUP_get_order()
+ EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
+ are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
+ to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
+ adding different types of curves.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
+
*) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
(which avoid length expansion in many cases).

EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
EC_GROUP_new_by_name()

- via

EC_GROUP_set_nid()
EC_GROUP_get_nid()

Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+ *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
+ [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
+
+ *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
+ error in AES-CFB decryption.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
+ allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
+ calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
+ BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
+ applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
+ EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
+ bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
+ n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
[Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [XX xxx 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [XX xxx XXXX]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
+ [Nils Larsch]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
*) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
