62 o The Makefiles fail with some SysV makes.
71 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
72 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
74 EVP cipher enhancement.
75 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
76 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
77 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
78 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
79 o Richard is currently working on:
81 Attribute Certificate support
82 Certificate Pair support
83 Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
84 Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
88 o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
89 handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
91 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
93 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
97 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
99 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
100 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
101 src/Configure. It confuses.
102 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
103 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
104 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
105 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
106 which are currently in Configure.
108 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
109 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
110 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
111 solution to be really simple.
113 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
114 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
115 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
117 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
118 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
123 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
124 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
