32 o OpenSSL 0.9.2b: Released on March 22th, 1999
33 o OpenSSL 0.9.1c: Released on December 23th, 1998
39 o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
43 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
44 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
45 EVP cipher enhancement.
46 Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
47 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
48 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
49 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
50 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
51 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
52 o Richard is currently working on:
53 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
54 functionality that is currently missing).
55 Dynamic thread-lock support.
56 Shared library support for VMS.
60 o non-blocking socket on AIX
61 o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
62 o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
66 o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
69 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
71 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
72 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
73 src/Configure. It confuses.
74 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
75 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
76 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
77 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
78 which are currently in Configure.
80 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
81 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
82 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
83 solution to be really simple.
85 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
86 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
87 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
89 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
90 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
94 o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
95 totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
96 with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
97 Net::SSLeay package we can find under
98 http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
99 longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
100 to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
101 Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
104 Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
105 and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
