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