- This file gives a brief overview of the major changes between each OpenSSL
- release. For more details please read the CHANGES file.
-
- Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.3 and OpenSSL 0.9.4:
-
- o Transparent support for PKCS#8 format private keys: these are used
- by several software packages and are more secure than the standard
- form
- o PKCS#5 v2.0 implementation
- o Password callbacks have a new void * argument for application data
- o Avoid various memory leaks
- o New pipe-like BIO that allows using the SSL library when actual I/O
- must be handled by the application (BIO pair)
-
- Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.2b and OpenSSL 0.9.3:
- o Lots of enhancements and cleanups to the Configuration mechanism
- o RSA OEAP related fixes
- o Added `openssl ca -revoke' option for revoking a certificate
- o Source cleanups: const correctness, type-safe stacks and ASN.1 SETs
- o Source tree cleanups: removed lots of obsolete files
- o Thawte SXNet, certificate policies and CRL distribution points
- extension support
- o Preliminary (experimental) S/MIME support
- o Support for ASN.1 UTF8String and VisibleString
- o Full integration of PKCS#12 code
- o Sparc assembler bignum implementation, optimized hash functions
- o Option to disable selected ciphers
-
- Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.1c and OpenSSL 0.9.2b:
- o Fixed a security hole related to session resumption
- o Fixed RSA encryption routines for the p < q case
