list first. Someone may be already working on the same thing or there
may be a good reason as to why that feature isn't implemented.
-The best way to submit a patch is to make a pull request on GitHub.
-(It is not necessary to send mail to rt@openssl.org to open a ticket!)
-If you think the patch could use feedback from the community, please
-start a thread on openssl-dev.

-You can also submit patches by sending it as mail to rt@openssl.org.
-Please include the word "PATCH" and an explanation of what the patch
-does in the subject line. If you do this, our preferred format is "git
-format-patch" output. For example to provide a patch file containing the
-last commit in your local git repository use the following command:
-
- % git format-patch --stdout HEAD^ >mydiffs.patch
-
-Another method of creating an acceptable patch file without using git is as
-follows:
-
- % cd openssl-work
- ...make your changes...
- % ./Configure dist; make clean
- % cd ..
- % diff -ur openssl-orig openssl-work >mydiffs.patch
-
-Note that pull requests are generally easier for the team, and community, to
-work with. Pull requests benefit from all of the standard GitHub features,
-including code review tools, simpler integration, and CI build support.

-No matter how a patch is submitted, the following items will help make
-the acceptance and review process faster:

1. Anything other than trivial contributions will require a contributor
licensing agreement, giving us permission to use your code. See

4. Patches should follow our coding style (see
https://www.openssl.org/policies/codingstyle.html) and compile without
warnings. Where gcc or clang is availble you should use the
--strict-warnings Configure option. OpenSSL compiles on many varied
platforms: try to ensure you only use portable features.
+ Clean builds via Travis and AppVeyor are expected, and done whenever
+ a PR is created or updated.
- 5. When at all possible, patches should include tests. These can either be
- added to an existing test, or completely new. Please see test/README
- for information on the test framework.

If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
first:
- - Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
+ - Download the latest version from the repository
to see if the problem has already been addressed
- - Remove ASM versions of libraries
+ - Configure with no-asm
- Remove compiler optimisation flags
- If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
- any bug report:

Self-test report generated by 'make report'
- Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)

- You can also make GitHub pull requests. If you do this, please also send
