133 o OpenSSL 0.9.5a: Released on April 1st, 2000
134 o OpenSSL 0.9.5: Released on February 28th, 2000
135 o OpenSSL 0.9.4: Released on August 09th, 1999
136 o OpenSSL 0.9.3a: Released on May 29th, 1999
137 o OpenSSL 0.9.3: Released on May 25th, 1999
138 o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
139 o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
145 o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
149 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
150 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
151 EVP cipher enhancement.
152 Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
153 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
154 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
155 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
156 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
157 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
158 o Richard is currently working on:
159 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
160 functionality that is currently missing).
161 Dynamic thread-lock support.
162 Shared library support for VMS.
166 o non-blocking socket on AIX
167 o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
168 o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
172 o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
175 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
177 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
178 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
179 src/Configure. It confuses.
180 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
181 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
182 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
183 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
184 which are currently in Configure.
186 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
187 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
188 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
189 solution to be really simple.
191 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
192 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
193 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
195 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
196 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
200 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
201 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
202 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
203 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
204 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
205 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
206 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
207 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
210 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
211 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
