Also, make the perl + scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp" + if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in + CygWin. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code + could not support the combine flag in choice fields. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution + (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug). + For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced + in the bctest version that searches along $PATH). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes + with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris + and UnixWare. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton: + On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic + Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119, + http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz). + [Ulf Moeller] + + *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered + if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include + PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old + (but broken) behaviour. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print + it when found. + [Tim Rice via Richard Levitte] + + *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies + extensions from a certificate request to the certificate. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated + by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config + file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be + signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included + or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display + multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy + and couldn't display additional details such as extensions. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary; + don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication + of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally + including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP. + EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case + that the point list has just one item (besides the optional + generator). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p): + + EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr + operations and provides various method functions that can also + operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic. + + EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of + EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic. + + [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling + implementation directly derived from source code provided by + Lenka Fibikova ] + + *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h, + crypto/ec/ec_lib.c): + + Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator) + based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library. + + Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects. + + Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary + finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other + than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires + that the file contains a complete HTTP response. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl + change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX" + to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the + field while the former will cause them to run together if the field + is 40 of more characters long. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures + and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER + pointers. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously + did not exist. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5. + [Jeremy Cooper ] + + *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them + in . Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the + internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions + might. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts: + + Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7 + (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32. + + ASN1 error codes + ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR + ... + ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS + were 4 .. 9, conflicting with + ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB) + ... + ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB). + They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL). + + Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock + suffices. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This + sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the + subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are + 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT' + and + 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'. + + Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'. + [Massimiliano Pala ] + + *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions. + [Richard Levitte] + *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting global variables in shared libraries.
