87 o OpenSSL 0.9.6: Released on September 24th, 2000
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
102 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
103 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
105 EVP cipher enhancement.
106 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
107 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
108 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
109 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
110 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
111 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
112 o Richard is currently working on:
113 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
114 functionality that is currently missing).
115 Shared library support for VMS.
117 Kerberos 5 authentication
122 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
124 o OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
125 #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
126 e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
128 o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
129 or an error is reported
133 o crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
134 with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
135 CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
136 The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
139 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
141 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
142 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
143 src/Configure. It confuses.
144 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
145 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
146 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
147 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
148 which are currently in Configure.
150 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
151 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
152 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
153 solution to be really simple.
155 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
156 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
157 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
159 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
160 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
164 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
165 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
166 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
167 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
168 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
169 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
170 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
171 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
174 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
175 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
