7 o OpenSSL 0.9.9: Under development...
8 o OpenSSL 0.9.8-beta5: Released on June 13th, 2005
9 OpenVMS/Alpha 7.3-2 w. Compaq C 6.4-005 SUCCESS
10 Cygwin (1.5.17 and current CVS) SUCCESS
11 linux-elf (SuSE 9.3) SUCCESS
12 linux-? (Gentoo/armel) SUCCESS
13 linux-? (Gentoo/armeb) FAILURE
14 (Tester comment: Gentoo/armeb failed the x509 certificate test
15 ('test_ss') due to lack of enough random data, but i'm pretty
16 sure that's a system issue and unrelated to openssl ;))

64 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
65 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
67 EVP cipher enhancement.
68 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
69 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
70 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
71 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
72 o Richard is currently working on:
74 Attribute Certificate support
75 Certificate Pair support
76 Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
77 Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
81 o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
82 handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
84 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
86 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
90 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
92 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
93 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
94 src/Configure. It confuses.
95 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
96 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
97 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
98 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
99 which are currently in Configure.
101 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
102 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
103 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
104 solution to be really simple.
106 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
107 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
108 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
110 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
111 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
116 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
117 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
