29 o BN_mod_mul verification fails for mips3-sgi-irix
30 unless configured with no-asm
38 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
39 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
41 EVP cipher enhancement.
42 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
43 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
44 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
45 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
46 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
47 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
48 o Richard is currently working on:
50 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
51 functionality that is currently missing).
52 Shared library support for VMS.
53 Kerberos 5 authentication
59 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
61 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
65 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
67 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
68 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
69 src/Configure. It confuses.
70 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
71 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
72 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
73 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
74 which are currently in Configure.
76 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
77 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
78 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
79 solution to be really simple.
81 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
82 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
83 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
85 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
86 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
91 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
92 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
