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