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.
