Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
*) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
(these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
library. Most notably,
- 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
- EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
- X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
extracted before the specific public key.
*) Include some named elliptic curves. These can be obtained from
the new functions
EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
via
EC_GROUP_set_nid()
EC_GROUP_get_nid()

Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2002]
OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c/0.9.6d (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001,
9 July 2001, 21 Dec 2001 and xx XXX 2002) and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were
developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
Change log entries are tagged as follows:
-) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d only
*) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d and 0.9.7
+) applies to 0.9.7 only
+) Move default behaviour to CONF_modules_load_file(). Is appname is NULL
use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
[Steve Henson]
+) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
[Steve Henson]
*) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
configuration for the versions before that.
[Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
*) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
<izhar@checkpoint.com>.
[Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
[Lutz Jaenicke]
+) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
to work with the new engine framework.
[AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
+) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
to work with the new engine framework.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
value is 0.
[Richard Levitte]
+) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
[Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
+) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

*) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
[Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
+) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
FORMAT_IISSGC.
[Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
*) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
[Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
[Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
+) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
[Ben Laurie]
+) Add new functions
ERR_peek_last_error
ERR_peek_last_error_line
ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
These are similar to
ERR_peek_error
ERR_peek_error_line
ERR_peek_error_line_data,
but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
still in the error queue.
[Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
+) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
like:
default_algorithms = ALL
default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
[Steve Henson]
*) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
session cache.
To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
using a local variable.
[Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
*) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
[Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
+) New experimental application configuration code.
[Steve Henson]
*) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
+) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
[Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
*) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
[D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
-) OpenSSL 0.9.6c released [21 dec 2001]
+) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
[Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
*) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
<Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3*range is two bits longer than range.)
[Bodo Moeller]
*) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
present.
*) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
[Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
+) Add option to output public keys in req command.
[Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
*) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
returns early because it has nothing to do.
[Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
*) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
[Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
