  DEVELOPMENT STATE

    o  OpenSSL 0.9.5:  Under development...

                       Proposed freeze  time: Monday, February 21st 2000

                       0.9.5-beta1 is available.

                       Proposed release time: Monday, February 28th 2000

    o  OpenSSL 0.9.4:  Released on August   09th, 1999

    o  OpenSSL 0.9.3a: Released on May      29th, 1999

  AVAILABLE PATCHES

    o shared libraries <behnke@trustcenter.de>

    o getenv in ca.c and x509_def.c (jaltman@watsun.cc.columbia.edu)

    o SMIME tool (demo), Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@iki.fi>

    o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)

    o FreeBSD 3.0 changes (Richard Levitte)

        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.
