For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf' + may not be NULL. + [Damien Miller , Bodo Moeller] + + *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF + configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a + new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now + old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to + work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions + to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is + provided to make it easier to write new configuration file + reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a + configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*, + or "the configuration storage API"... + + The new configuration file reading functions are: + + NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio, + NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre + + NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32 + + NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio + + NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers, + NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way + as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface. + NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file, + which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same + arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the + first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'. + + To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions, + the function CONF_set_default_method is provided. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already + mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented. + (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional + experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and + OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to + them in a portable way. + [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte] + + Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000] + + *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC. + + *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status + (the default implementation of RAND_status). + + *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5, + to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented. + [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili + ] + + *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length + was larger than the MD block size. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William ] + + *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument + fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set() + using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result + of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key + components. + [Steve Henson] + + *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix. + [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where + the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear ] + + *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly + discouraged. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver ] + + *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command + 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX' + returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available. + 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases, + the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr. + Additional arguments are always ignored. + + Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name, + the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way. + + ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such + as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE + is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates + its own key. + ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition + to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the + 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining + you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and + 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate). + This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof + does not suppress any output. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The + purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically + accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour, + with all the associated security issues. + + X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and + automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A + new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that + a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead + use the value in the default purpose. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again + and fix a memory leak. + [Steve Henson] + + *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve + reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as + the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in + automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table + using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned + library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special + case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This + converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters, + DSA_generate_parameters is used.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated + by 'openssl dhparam -C'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used + so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument + which was free. + [Steve Henson] + + *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes + instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing + it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling + RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random + number generation fails. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64 + [Rolf Haberrecker ] + + *) Assembler module support for Mingw32. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/). + [Lutz Jaenicke and Anonymous] + + *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc. + [Lutz Behnke ] + + Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000] + + *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they + were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray ] + + *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n] + case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl + assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set + to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose + scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This + is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope. + [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig ] + + *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before + almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing + STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING) + for example. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming + convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count + and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some + data structure without incrementing reference counters. + (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference + counter, some don't.) + Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference + counters or duplicate objects. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure: + the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf(). + [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem + pointed out by David Sacerdote ] + + *) Support EGD . New functions + RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application, + the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE + or -rand. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures. + Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher + list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option + is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the + cipher list. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with + EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called + EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs. + [Steve Henson] + + *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions + where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument. + Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on + many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually + called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code + should work without changes. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) (which is created by Configure) now contains + sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for + compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable + one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES + must be defined. E.g., + #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES + #include + defines all pertinent NO_ symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc. + [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller] + + *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS + record layer. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF + X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has + the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID. + [Steve Henson] *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line argument to 'req'.
