For more details please read the CHANGES file. + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.8a and OpenSSL 0.9.8b: + + o Cipher string fixes. + o Fixes for VC++ 2005. + o Updated ECC cipher suite support. + o New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(). + o Zlib compression usage fixes. + o Built in dynamic engine compilation support on Win32. + o Fixes auto dynamic engine loading in Win32. + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.8 and OpenSSL 0.9.8a: + + o Fix potential SSL 2.0 rollback, CAN-2005-2969 + o Extended Windows CE support + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7g and OpenSSL 0.9.8: + + o Major work on the BIGNUM library for higher efficiency and to + make operations more streamlined and less contradictory. This + is the result of a major audit of the BIGNUM library. + o Addition of BIGNUM functions for fields GF(2^m) and NIST + curves, to support the Elliptic Crypto functions. + o Major work on Elliptic Crypto; ECDH and ECDSA added, including + the use through EVP, X509 and ENGINE. + o New ASN.1 mini-compiler that's usable through the OpenSSL + configuration file. + o Added support for ASN.1 indefinite length constructed encoding. + o New PKCS#12 'medium level' API to manipulate PKCS#12 files. + o Complete rework of shared library construction and linking + programs with shared or static libraries, through a separate + Makefile.shared. + o Rework of the passing of parameters from one Makefile to another. + o Changed ENGINE framework to load dynamic engine modules + automatically from specifically given directories. + o New structure and ASN.1 functions for CertificatePair. + o Changed the ZLIB compression method to be stateful. + o Changed the key-generation and primality testing "progress" + mechanism to take a structure that contains the ticker + function and an argument. + o New engine module: GMP (performs private key exponentiation). + o New engine module: VIA PadLOck ACE extension in VIA C3 + Nehemiah processors. + o Added support for IPv6 addresses in certificate extensions. + See RFC 1884, section 2.2. + o Added support for certificate policy mappings, policy + constraints and name constraints. + o Added support for multi-valued AVAs in the OpenSSL + configuration file. + o Added support for multiple certificates with the same subject + in the 'openssl ca' index file. + o Make it possible to create self-signed certificates using + 'openssl ca -selfsign'. + o Make it possible to generate a serial number file with + 'openssl ca -create_serial'. + o New binary search functions with extended functionality. + o New BUF functions. + o New STORE structure and library to provide an interface to all + sorts of data repositories. Supports storage of public and + private keys, certificates, CRLs, numbers and arbitrary blobs. + This library is unfortunately unfinished and unused withing + OpenSSL. + o New control functions for the error stack. + o Changed the PKCS#7 library to support one-pass S/MIME + processing. + o Added the possibility to compile without old deprecated + functionality with the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED macro or the + 'no-deprecated' argument to the config and Configure scripts. + o Constification of all ASN.1 conversion functions, and other + affected functions. + o Improved platform support for PowerPC. + o New FIPS 180-2 algorithms (SHA-224, -256, -384 and -512). + o New X509_VERIFY_PARAM structure to support parametrisation + of X.509 path validation. + o Major overhaul of RC4 performance on Intel P4, IA-64 and + AMD64. + o Changed the Configure script to have some algorithms disabled + by default. Those can be explicitely enabled with the new + argument form 'enable-xxx'. + o Change the default digest in 'openssl' commands from MD5 to + SHA-1. + o Added support for DTLS. + o New BIGNUM blinding. + o Added support for the RSA-PSS encryption scheme + o Added support for the RSA X.931 padding. + o Added support for BSD sockets on NetWare. + o Added support for files larger than 2GB. + o Added initial support for Win64. + o Added alternate pkg-config files. + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7i and OpenSSL 0.9.7j: + + o Visual C++ 2005 fixes. + o Update Windows build system for FIPS. + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7h and OpenSSL 0.9.7i: + + o Give EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE it's old value, except for a FIPS build. + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7g and OpenSSL 0.9.7h: + + o Fix SSL 2.0 Rollback, CAN-2005-2969 + o Allow use of fixed-length exponent on DSA signing + o Default fixed-window RSA, DSA, DH private-key operations + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7f and OpenSSL 0.9.7g: + + o More compilation issues fixed. + o Adaptation to more modern Kerberos API. + o Enhanced or corrected configuration for Solaris64, Mingw and Cygwin. + o Enhanced x86_64 assembler BIGNUM module. + o More constification. + o Added processing of proxy certificates (RFC 3820). + + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7e and OpenSSL 0.9.7f: + + o Several compilation issues fixed. + o Many memory allocation failure checks added. + o Improved comparison of X509 Name type. + o Mandatory basic checks on certificates. + o Performance improvements. + Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7d and OpenSSL 0.9.7e: o Fix race condition in CRL checking code. |
