AVAILABLE PATCHES

IN PROGRESS
- o Steve is currently working on:
- X509 V3 extension code including:
- 1. Support for the more common PKIX extensions.
- 2. Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
- 3. Support in standard applications (req, x509, ca).
- 4. Documentation on how all the above works.
- Next on the list is probably PKCS#12 integration.
+ o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
+ Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
+ Documentation on X509 V3 extension code.
+ PKCS#12 code cleanup and enhancement.
o Mark is currently working on:
Folding in any changes that are in the C2Net code base that were
SSL_CTX_xxx() variants but on a per connection basis. That's needed
to let us provide full-featured per-URL client verification in
mod_ssl or Apache-SSL.
+ => It still dumps core, so I suspend this and investigate
+ again for OpenSSL 0.9.3.
2. The perl/ stuff to make it really work the first time ;-)
- 3. The new documentation set in PID format under doc/
+ => I'll investigate a few more hours for OpenSSL 0.9.2
+ 3. The new documentation set in POD format under doc/
+ => I'll investigate a few more hours for OpenSSL 0.9.2
4. More cleanups to get rid of obsolete/old/ugly files in the
source tree which are not really needed.
+ => Done all which were possible with my personal knowledge
o Ben is currently working on:
- Integration of the "send a correct CA list for SSLCACertificatePath"
- from Apache-SSL/mod_ssl.
+ 1. Function Prototype Thought Police issues.
+ 2. Integrated documentation.
+ 3. New TLS Ciphersuites.
+ 4. Anything else that takes his fancy.
NEEDS PATCH
SSLeay-0.9.1b RPM already includes some patches which do some of this.
I can forward them if you wish."
+ o Mats Nilsson <mats.nilsson@xware.se>:
+ "Add reference counting to all substructures of X509 etc. For instance,
+ X509_NAME lacks a reference counter, while EVP_PKEY has one. I'm
+ making COM-wrappers for selected parts of SSLeay for a project of ours,
+ and has found this inconsistency in copy semantics annoying."
