76 o OpenSSL 0.9.5a: Released on April 1st, 2000
77 o OpenSSL 0.9.5: Released on February 28th, 2000
78 o OpenSSL 0.9.4: Released on August 09th, 1999
79 o OpenSSL 0.9.3a: Released on May 29th, 1999
80 o OpenSSL 0.9.3: Released on May 25th, 1999
81 o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
82 o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
88 o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
92 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
93 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
94 EVP cipher enhancement.
95 Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
96 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
97 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
98 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
99 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
100 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
101 o Richard is currently working on:
102 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
103 functionality that is currently missing).
104 Dynamic thread-lock support.
105 Shared library support for VMS.
109 o non-blocking socket on AIX
110 o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
111 o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
115 o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
118 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
120 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
121 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
122 src/Configure. It confuses.
123 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
124 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
125 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
126 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
127 which are currently in Configure.
129 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
130 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
131 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
132 solution to be really simple.
134 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
135 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
136 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
138 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
139 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
143 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
144 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
145 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
146 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
147 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
148 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
149 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
150 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
153 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
154 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
