ASN1_TYPE is used for + a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything + including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would + wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal + counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the + tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE: + that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type + "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this + case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all + together. + [Steve Henson] + + *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to + in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will + write a separate record, which will be read separately by the + programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing. + + The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer + text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a + line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line, + not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've + seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is + the answer. + + Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has + been tested well enough. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery, + it can return incorrect results. + (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a, + but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached + signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly) + include zero length content when signing messages. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR + BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs). + + *) Add DSO method for VMS. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the + wrong sign. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three + packages. The default package contains applications, application + documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains + include files, static libraries and function documentation. The + doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original + openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller . + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines. + [Lutz Jaenicke ] + + *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4. + [NAKAJI Hiroyuki ] + + *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a + random number < q in the DSA library. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default + behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if + the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place. + (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client + and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read; + but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it + just makes things more complicated.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read + from EGD. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509' + work better on such systems. + [Martin Kraemer ] + + *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create(). + Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the + keyid to the certificates aux info. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop + if there was more than one signature. + [Sven Uszpelkat ] + + *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information + about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well + as functions. This change means that there's n more need + to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application, + rather than always using the current time. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate + verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a + number of criteria: subject name, authority key id + and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates + by the same criteria. The main comparison function is + X509_check_issued() which performs these checks. + + Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this + without completely rewriting the lookup code. + + Authority and subject key identifier are now cached. + + The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced + by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an + LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with + the same hash value. + + As a result various functions (which were all internal + use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE + structure. This will break anything that messed round + with X509_STORE internally. + + The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an + exact match, rather than just subject name. + + The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval + of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however + this can be worked round by performing a lookup first + (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates) + and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably + the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP + entirely (maybe later...). + + The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably. + + All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer() + callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it + can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way + to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this + work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques + in future. A very simple version which uses a simple + STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided + using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack(). + + The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents + in the X509_STORE_CTX structure. + + X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used + to customise the verify behaviour. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which + excludes S/MIME capabilities. + [Steve Henson] + + *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the + original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing + again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than + a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the + request is improperly encoded. + [Steve Henson] + + *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call + buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling + BIO_write(b, ...). + + In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write. + [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr] + *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of words set to zero.)
