117 o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
118 o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
124 o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
128 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
129 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
130 EVP cipher enhancement.
131 Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
132 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
133 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
134 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
135 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
136 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
137 o Richard is currently working on:
138 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
139 functionality that is currently missing).
140 Dynamic thread-lock support.
141 Shared library support for VMS.
145 o non-blocking socket on AIX
146 o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
147 o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
151 o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
154 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
156 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
157 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
158 src/Configure. It confuses.
159 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
160 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
161 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
162 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
163 which are currently in Configure.
165 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
166 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
167 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
168 solution to be really simple.
170 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
171 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
172 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
174 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
175 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
179 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
180 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
181 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
182 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
183 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
184 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
185 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
186 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
189 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
190 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
