Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+ sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+ with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+ sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+ opensslconf.h.
+ Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+ specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
+ are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
+ macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+ from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+ what is available.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+ number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+ signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
+ CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+ auto incremented.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+ due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+ 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+ 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+ 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+ nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
+ inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+ assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
+ Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
+ supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
+ disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
+ API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
+ not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
+ of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
+ [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
+ "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
+ port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
+ option to ocsp utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
+ reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
+ whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
+ in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
+ just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
+ this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
+ the request is nonce-less.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
+ copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
+ but the code is actually correct.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
+ skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
+ e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
+ set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
+ utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
+ the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
+ Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
+ Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
+ to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
+ appear to exist.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
+ additional certificates supplied.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
+ OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
+ signature against.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
- [Ulf Moeller]
+ [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
*) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
