- Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [XX May 1999]
- [I suggest using the same format for the
- date as in opensslv.h. 0.9.1c used
- hyphens in the date, so I wrote
- [23-Dec-1998] down below; but in later
- versions, these hyphens are gone.]
+ Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4
+
+ *) DES library cleanups.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
+ used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
+ ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
+ against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
+ yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
+ of v2.0.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
+ Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
+
+ *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
+ assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
+ structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
+ but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
+ the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
+ underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
+ This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
+ 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
+ and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
+ and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
+ Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
+ KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
+ value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
+ value doesn't matter.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
+ support mutable.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
+ [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
+ "linux-sparc" configuration.
+ [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
+
+ *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
+ File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
+
+ *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
+
+ *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Additional typesafe stacks.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+
+ Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
+
+ *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
+
+ *) Updated some demos.
+ [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
+
+ *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
+ [Wu Zhigang]
+
+ *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
+ instead of using a fixed path.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Improvements for VMS support.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+
+ Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
+
+ *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
+ This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
+ [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+ *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
+ These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
+ existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
+ and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
+ sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
+ are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
+ replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
+ (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
+ that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
+ this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
+ correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
+ (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
+ to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
+ which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
+ that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
+
+ Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
+ problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
+ and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
[Ben Laurie]
[Ulf Möller]
*) Tweaks to Configure
- Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>
+ [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
*) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
yet...
