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