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