1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no longer need
them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary files which
were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where I've verified
that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff -rSSLeay_0_8_1b"
or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for the crypto/md/
stuff).
We've still a horrible mess under crypto/bn/asm/. There for a lot of files
I'm sure whether we need them or not. So, when someone knows it better, feel
free to cleanup there.
name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
support for subject and issuer alt name. Add a new ASN1 macro and fix a
nasty bug that left an ASN1 buffer modified on an error condition with
IMPLICIT tagging.
GeneralizedTime. At several points PKIX specifies that GeneralizedTime can be
used but OpenSSL doesn't currently support it. This patch adds several files
and a bunch of functions.
Of interest is the ASN1_TIME structure and its related functions. At several
points certificates, CRLs et al specify that a time can be expressed as a
choice of UTCTime and GeneralizedTime. Currently OpenSSL interprets this
(wrongly) as UTCTime because GeneralizedTime isn't supported. The ASN1_TIME
stuff provides this functionality.
Still todo is to trace which cert and CRL points need an ASN1_TIME and modify
the utilities appropriately and of course fix all the bugs.
Note new OpenSSL copyright in the new file a_time.c. I didn't put it in
a_gentm.c because it is a minimally modified form a_utctm.c .
Since this adds new files and error codes you will need to do a 'make errors'
at the top level to add the new codes.
DSA_free(): this was causing crashes when for example an attempt was made
to handle a (currently) unsupported DH public key. Also X509_PUBKEY_set()i
wasn't checking errors from d2i_PublicKey().
1. The already released version was 0.9.1c and not 0.9.1b
2. The next release should be 0.9.2 and not 0.9.1d, because
first the changes are already too large, second we should avoid any more
0.9.1x confusions and third, the Apache version semantics of
VERSION.REVISION.PATCHLEVEL for the version string is reasonable (and here
.2 is already just a patchlevel and not major change).
