87 0.9.6-beta3 is available:
88 o OpenSSL 0.9.5a: Released on April 1st, 2000
89 o OpenSSL 0.9.5: Released on February 28th, 2000
90 o OpenSSL 0.9.4: Released on August 09th, 1999
91 o OpenSSL 0.9.3a: Released on May 29th, 1999
92 o OpenSSL 0.9.3: Released on May 25th, 1999
93 o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
94 o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
100 o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
104 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
105 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
106 EVP cipher enhancement.
107 Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
108 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
109 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
110 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
111 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
112 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
113 o Richard is currently working on:
114 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
115 functionality that is currently missing).
116 Dynamic thread-lock support.
117 Shared library support for VMS.
121 o non-blocking socket on AIX
122 o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
123 o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
127 o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
130 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
132 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
133 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
134 src/Configure. It confuses.
135 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
136 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
137 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
138 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
139 which are currently in Configure.
141 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
142 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
143 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
144 solution to be really simple.
146 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
147 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
148 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
150 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
151 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
155 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
156 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
157 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
158 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
159 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
160 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
161 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
162 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
165 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
166 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
