DSH
8 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10 in CRLs.

116e3153
RE
12 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
13 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
14 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
15 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
16 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
17 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
18 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
19 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
20 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
21 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.

24 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
25 [Ben Laurie]
26
3eb0ed6d
RE
27 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
28 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
29 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
30 for linking it into DSOs.

BL
33 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
34 Fixed.

0b903ec0
RE
37 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
38 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
39 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
40 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
41 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
42 [Ralf S. Engelschall]

RE
44 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
45 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
46 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
47 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
48 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
49 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
50 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
51
988788f6
BL
52 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
53 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
54 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
55 encryption.
56 [Ben Laurie]
57
924acc54
DSH
58 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
59 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
60 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
61 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
62 [Steve Henson]
63
d00b7aad
DSH
64 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
65 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
66 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
67 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
68 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
69 field as blank.

RE
72 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
73 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
74 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
75 relationship to the OpenSSL project.

RE
78 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
79 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.

83 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
84
06c68491
DSH
85 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
86 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
87 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
88 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
89 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
90 [Steve Henson]
91
eb90a483
BL
92 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions, SSL_add_cert_file_to_stack()
93 and SSL_add_cert_dir_to_stack(). These largely supplant
94 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily to
95 a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
96 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
97 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
98 [Ben Laurie]
99
4f43d0e7
BL
100 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
101 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
102 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
103 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.

RE
105
106 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
107 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
0172f988 108
7283ecea
DSH
109 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
110 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
111 [Steve Henson]
112
15d21c2d
RE
113 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
114 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
115 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
116 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
117 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
118 (e.g. s_server).
119 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
120 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
121 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
122 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
123 no way to reconfigure them.
124 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
125 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
126 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
127 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
128 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]

ea14a91f
RE
131 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
132 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
133 recognized by the users.
134 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
135
90a52cec
RE
136 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
137 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
138 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
139 already masked variable.

142 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
143 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
144
8aef252b
RE
145 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
146 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
147 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
148 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
149
a4ed5532
RE
150 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
151 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
152 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
153
7be304ac
RE
154 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
155 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
156 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
157 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
158 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
159 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
160 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
161 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
162 now, too.
163 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
164
55ab3bf7
BL
165 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
166 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
167 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
168
a43aa73e
DSH
169 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
170 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
171 config file.
172 [Steve Henson]
173
0849d138
BL
174 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
175 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
176
06ab81f9
BL
177 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
178 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
179 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
180 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.

190 [Ben Laurie]
191
0ca5f8b1
DSH
192 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
193 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
194 [Steve Henson]
195
3d8accc3
DSH
196 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
197 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
198 [Steve Henson]
199
a4949896
BL
200 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
201 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
202 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
203 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
204 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
205 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.

MC
209 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
210 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
211
212 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
213 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
214 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
215 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
216 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
217
a8236c8c
DSH
218 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
219 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
3d8accc3 220 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
a8236c8c
DSH
221 [Steve Henson]
222

224 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
225 an example.

RE
228 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
229 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
230 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
231
5c00879e
DSH
232 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
233 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
234 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
235 build instructions.
236 [Steve Henson]
237
9becf666
DSH
238 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
239 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
240 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
241 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
242 [Steve Henson]
243
4e31df2c
BL
244 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
245 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
246 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
247 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
248 [Ben Laurie]
249
e4119b93
DSH
250 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
251 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
252 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
253 so it wasn't spotted.
254 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
255
4a71b90d
BL
256 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
257 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
258 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
259 vectors if you have them.
260 [Ben Laurie]
261
2c6ccde1 262 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
436d318c
BL
263 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
264 [Ben Laurie]
265
55a9cc6e
DSH
266 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
267 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
268 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
269 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
270 If you do a:
271 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
272 it will update them.
e4119b93 273 [Steve Henson]
55a9cc6e 274
8073036d
RE
275 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
276 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
277 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
278 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
279 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
280 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
281 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
282 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
283
483fdf18
RE
284 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
285 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
286 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
287 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
288 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
289 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
290 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
291 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
292 the crypto/md/ stuff).
293 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
294
175b0942
DSH
295 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
296 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
297 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
298 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
299 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
300 [Steve Henson]
301
bceacf93
DSH
302 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
303 INTEGER code.
304 [Steve Henson]
305
351d8998
MC
306 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.

BL
312 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
313 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.

323 [Steve Henson]
320a14cb 324
9fe84296
DSH
325 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
326 few typos.
327 [Steve Henson]
328
a0a54079
MC
329 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
330 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
331 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
332 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]

f317aa4c
DSH
347 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
348 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
349 CA extensions.
350 [Steve Henson]
351
834eeef9
DSH
352 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the

f317aa4c 354 [Steve Henson]
834eeef9 355
9aeaf1b4
DSH
356 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
357 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
358 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
359 [Steve Henson]
360
9b5cc156
DSH
361 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
362 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
363 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
364 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
365 properly to be processed.
366 [Steve Henson]
367
8039257d
BL
368 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
369 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
370 can still be regenerated with "make depend".

374 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
375
6c8abdd7
DSH
376 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
377 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
378 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
379 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
380 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
381 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
382 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
383 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
384 or delete all the .err files.
9b5cc156 385 [Steve Henson]
6c8abdd7 386
649cdb7b
BL
387 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
388 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
389 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
390 to regenerate it if needed.
