   IN PROGRESS
 
     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
-        Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
+        ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+        OCSP
+        EVP cipher enhancement.
+        Enhanced certificate chain verification.
 	Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
 	Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
-	Documentation for the openssl utility.
+    o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
+	ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
+    o Richard is currently working on:
+	UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
+	      functionality that is currently missing).
+	Shared library support for VMS.
+	OCSP
+	Kerberos 5 authentication
+	Constification
 
   NEEDS PATCH
 
-    o  non-blocking socket on AIX
-    o  $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
-    o  "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+    o  apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+
+    o  OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
+       #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
+       e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
+
+    o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
+       or an error is reported
 
   OPEN ISSUES
 
-    o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
-      CA flag ...)
+    o  crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
+       with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
+       CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
+       The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
+       to offer.
 
     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

-    o The EVP and ASN1 stuff is a mess. Currently you have one EVP_CIPHER
-      structure for each cipher. This may make sense for things like DES but
-      for variable length ciphers like RC2 and RC4 it is NBG. Need a way to
-      use the EVP interface and set up the cipher parameters. The ASN1 stuff
-      is also foo wrt ciphers whose AlgorithmIdentifier has more than just
-      an IV in it (e.g. RC2, RC5). This also means that EVP_Seal and EVP_Open
-      don't work unless the key length matches the fixed value (some vendors
-      use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect
-      RC2 to adapt).
-
-    o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
-      there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
-      or similar.
