3 | _______________ |
4 | ||
bf3d6c0c | 5 | Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx] |
28e4fe34 | 6 | |
13e4670c BM |
7 | *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code |
8 | in addition to the text details. | |
9 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
10 | ||
1ef7acfe DSH |
11 | *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general |
12 | ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't | |
13 | handle several customised structures at all. | |
14 | [Steve Henson] | |
15 | ||
a0156a92 DSH |
16 | *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such |
17 | as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support | |
18 | these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities. | |
19 | [Steve Henson] | |
20 | ||
eea374fd DSH |
21 | *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line. |
22 | [Steve Henson] | |
23 | ||
45e27385 DSH |
24 | *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one |
25 | place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now | |
26 | handled using new ASN1 code equivalents. | |
eea374fd | 27 | [Steve Henson] |
45e27385 | 28 | |
4ebb342f NL |
29 | *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD |
30 | pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new, | |
31 | SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'. | |
32 | [Nils Larsch] | |
33 | ||
9aa9d70d | 34 | *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously |
0745d089 DSH |
35 | unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of |
36 | all fields. | |
9aa9d70d DSH |
37 | [Steve Henson] |
38 | ||
0537f968 | 39 | *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. |
231493c9 | 40 | [Steve Henson] |
28e4fe34 | 41 | |
2bd2cd9b RL |
42 | Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [XX xxx XXXX] |
43 | ||
f022c177 DSH |
44 | *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags. |
45 | [Steve Henson] | |
46 | ||
6e119bb0 NL |
47 | *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at |
48 | runtime, thus removing the need for a lock. | |
49 | [Nils Larsch] | |
50 | ||
770bc596 | 51 | *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman. |
bf3d6c0c BL |
52 | [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie] |
53 | ||
54 | *) Add functions for well-known primes. | |
55 | [Nick Mathewson] | |
56 | ||
0491e058 AP |
57 | *) Extended Windows CE support. |
58 | [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov] | |
59 | ||
f3b656b2 DSH |
60 | *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during |
61 | runtime, thus removing the need for a lock. | |
62 | [Steve Henson] | |
63 | ||
8f2e4fdf DSH |
64 | *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by |
65 | attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to | |
66 | smime utility. | |
67 | [Steve Henson] | |
2bd2cd9b RL |
68 | |
69 | Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005] | |
12bdb643 | 70 | |
c8310124 RL |
71 | *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them. |
72 | [Richard Levitte] | |
73 | ||
74 | *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private | |
75 | key into the same file any more. | |
76 | [Richard Levitte] | |
77 | ||
8d3509b9 AP |
78 | *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors. |
79 | [Andy Polyakov] | |
80 | ||
cbdac46d DSH |
81 | *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'. |
82 | [Stefan <stf@udoma.org] | |
83 | ||
c8310124 RL |
84 | *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some |
85 | libraries. Use DES_crypt(). | |
86 | [Richard Levitte] | |
87 | ||
a2c32e2d GT |
88 | *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This |
89 | involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for | |
90 | both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids | |
91 | ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB, | |
92 | this only applies when building 'shared'. | |
93 | [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe] | |
94 | ||
b6995add DSH |
95 | *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify |
96 | PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and | |
97 | use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility. | |
98 | [Steve Henson] | |
99 | ||
800e400d NL |
100 | *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code: |
101 | - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after | |
102 | a fixed number of uses (currently 32) | |
103 | - add new function for parameter creation | |
104 | - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the | |
105 | BN_BLINDING parameters | |
106 | - hide BN_BLINDING structure | |
107 | Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve | |
108 | performance when a single RSA object is shared among several | |
109 | threads. | |
110 | [Nils Larsch] | |
111 | ||
36d16f8e BL |
112 | *) Add support for DTLS. |
113 | [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie] | |
114 | ||
dc0ed30c NL |
115 | *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1) |
116 | to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file() | |
117 | [Walter Goulet] | |
118 | ||
6049399b NL |
119 | *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from |
120 | ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c | |
121 | [Nils Larsch] | |
122 | ||
12bdb643 NL |
123 | *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for |
124 | the apps/openssl applications. | |
125 | [Nils Larsch] | |
4d94ae00 | 126 | |
41a15c4f BL |
127 | *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes |
128 | -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently | |
129 | DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set. | |
130 | [Ben Laurie] | |
131 | ||
c9a112f5 | 132 | *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default. |
ecc5ef87 BM |
133 | The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx". |
134 | ||
135 | The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless | |
136 | "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified. | |
137 | ||
138 | (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA | |
139 | is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license | |
140 | fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to | |
141 | avoid this algorithm.) | |
142 | ||
c9a112f5 BM |
143 | [Bodo Moeller] |
144 | ||
6951c23a RL |
145 | *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was |
146 | sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and | |
147 | EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe). | |
148 | [Richard Levitte] | |
149 | ||
ea681ba8 AP |
150 | *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such |
151 | as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64. | |
152 | [Andy Polyakov] | |
153 | ||
401ee37a DSH |
154 | *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative |
155 | section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as | |
156 | a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the | |
157 | pod file: | |
158 | ||
159 | =for comment openssl_section:XXX | |
160 | ||
161 | The blank line is mandatory. | |
162 | ||
163 | [Steve Henson] | |
164 | ||
826a42a0 DSH |
165 | *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server |
166 | to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase | |
167 | sources. | |
168 | [Steve Henson] | |
169 | ||
5d7c222d DSH |
170 | *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters, |
171 | update associated structures and add various utility functions. | |
172 | ||
173 | Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in | |
174 | standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters | |
175 | to support policy checking and print out. | |
176 | [Steve Henson] | |
177 | ||
30fe028f GT |
178 | *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3 |
179 | Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware | |
180 | as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled). | |
181 | [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov] | |
182 | ||
df11e1e9 GT |
183 | *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally). |
184 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
185 | ||
ad500340 AP |
186 | *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented. |
187 | [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people] | |
188 | ||
e14f4aab AP |
189 | *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler |
190 | implementation contributed by IBM. | |
191 | [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov] | |
192 | ||
bcfea9fb GT |
193 | *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public |
194 | exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to | |
195 | the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure. | |
196 | [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe] | |
197 | ||
d5f686d8 BM |
198 | *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now |
199 | moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial. | |
200 | ||
201 | (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial | |
202 | number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid | |
203 | the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7 | |
204 | patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in | |
205 | CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8, | |
206 | we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.) | |
64674bcc DSH |
207 | [Steve Henson] |
208 | ||
3a87a9b9 GT |
209 | *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in |
210 | ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will | |
211 | give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so | |
212 | this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always, | |
213 | developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to | |
214 | ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but | |
215 | backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined. | |
216 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
217 | ||
bf5773fa DSH |
218 | *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes. |
219 | [Steve Henson] | |
220 | ||
216659eb DSH |
221 | *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality. |
222 | This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the | |
223 | cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation | |
224 | routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and | |
225 | 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME | |
226 | code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys. | |
227 | Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not | |
228 | valid (weak or incorrect parity). | |
229 | [Steve Henson] | |
230 | ||
e1a27eb3 DSH |
231 | *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well |
232 | as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain | |
233 | CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs | |
234 | present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted. | |
235 | [Steve Henson] | |
236 | ||
6446e0c3 DSH |
237 | *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the |
238 | syntax: | |
239 | ||
240 | shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4 | |
241 | [Steve Henson] | |
242 | ||
5c98b2ca GT |
243 | *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static |
244 | limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the | |
245 | "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack | |
246 | information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single | |
247 | static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays | |
248 | allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of | |
249 | BN_CTX's "bundling". | |
250 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
251 | ||
46ef873f GT |
252 | *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD |
253 | to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX. | |
254 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
255 | ||
4acc3e90 DSH |
256 | *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This |
257 | is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing | |
258 | of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07. | |
259 | [Steve Henson] | |
260 | ||
7f663ce4 GT |
261 | *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and |
262 | remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum | |
263 | tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see | |
264 | below). | |
265 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
266 | ||
875a644a RL |
267 | *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with |
268 | associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros. | |
7f663ce4 | 269 | [Richard Levitte] |
875a644a | 270 | |
b6358c89 GT |
271 | *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results, |
272 | and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of | |
273 | BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated; | |
274 | if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro. | |
275 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
276 | ||
9e051bac GT |
277 | *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same |
278 | initialised value as BN_new(). | |
279 |
