- o SMIME tool (demo), Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@iki.fi>
o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)

Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
Documentation for the openssl utility.
- o Mark is currently working on:
- Folding in any changes that are in the C2Net code base that were
- not in the original SSLeay-0.9.1.b release. Plus other minor
- tidying.
-
- o Ralf is currently working on:
- 1. Support for SSL_set_default_verify_paths(),
- SSL_load_verify_locations(), SSL_get_cert_store() and
- SSL_set_cert_store() functions which work like their existing
- SSL_CTX_xxx() variants but on a per connection basis. That's needed
- to let us provide full-featured per-URL client verification in
- mod_ssl or Apache-SSL.
- => It still dumps core, so I suspend this and investigate
- again for OpenSSL 0.9.3.
- 2. The perl/ stuff to make it really work the first time ;-)
- => I'll investigate a few more hours for OpenSSL 0.9.2
- 3. The new documentation set in POD format under doc/
- => I'll investigate a few more hours for OpenSSL 0.9.2
- 4. More cleanups to get rid of obsolete/old/ugly files in the
- source tree which are not really needed.
- => Done all which were possible with my personal knowledge
-
- o Ben is currently working on:
- 1. Function Prototype Thought Police issues.
- 2. Integrated documentation.
- 3. New TLS Ciphersuites.
- 4. Anything else that takes his fancy.

NEEDS PATCH
- o salzr@certco.com (Rich Salz): Bug in X509_name_print
- <29E0A6D39ABED111A36000A0C99609CA2C2BA4@macertco-srv1.ma.certco.com>
+ o non-blocking socket on AIX
o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect
RC2 to adapt).
- o Properly initialize the PRNG in the absence of /dev/random.
-
o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
or similar.
