585 via a per-thread stack
586 o PRNG robustness improved
588 o BIGNUM library bug fixes
589 o Faster DSA parameter generation
590 o Enhanced support for Alpha Linux
591 o Experimental MacOS support
593 Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.3 and OpenSSL 0.9.4:
595 o Transparent support for PKCS#8 format private keys: these are used
596 by several software packages and are more secure than the standard
598 o PKCS#5 v2.0 implementation
599 o Password callbacks have a new void * argument for application data
600 o Avoid various memory leaks
601 o New pipe-like BIO that allows using the SSL library when actual I/O
602 must be handled by the application (BIO pair)
604 Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.2b and OpenSSL 0.9.3:
605 o Lots of enhancements and cleanups to the Configuration mechanism
606 o RSA OEAP related fixes
607 o Added `openssl ca -revoke' option for revoking a certificate
608 o Source cleanups: const correctness, type-safe stacks and ASN.1 SETs
609 o Source tree cleanups: removed lots of obsolete files
610 o Thawte SXNet, certificate policies and CRL distribution points
612 o Preliminary (experimental) S/MIME support
613 o Support for ASN.1 UTF8String and VisibleString
614 o Full integration of PKCS#12 code
615 o Sparc assembler bignum implementation, optimized hash functions
616 o Option to disable selected ciphers
618 Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.1c and OpenSSL 0.9.2b:
619 o Fixed a security hole related to session resumption
620 o Fixed RSA encryption routines for the p < q case
621 o "ALL" in cipher lists now means "everything except NULL ciphers"
622 o Support for Triple-DES CBCM cipher
623 o Support of Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) for RSA
624 o First support for new TLSv1 ciphers
625 o Added a few new BIOs (syslog BIO, reliable BIO)
626 o Extended support for DSA certificate/keys.
627 o Extended support for Certificate Signing Requests (CSR)
628 o Initial support for X.509v3 extensions
629 o Extended support for compression inside the SSL record layer
