deprecate the original (numeric-only) scheme, and replace with the
CRYPTO_THREADID object. This hides the platform-specifics and should reduce
the possibility for programming errors (where failing to explicitly check
both thread ID forms could create subtle, platform-specific bugs).
Thanks to Bodo, for invaluable review and feedback.
to 'unsigned long' (ie. odd platforms/compilers), so a pointer-typed
version was added but it required portable code to check *both* modes to
determine equality. This commit maintains the availability of both thread
ID types, but deprecates the type-specific accessor APIs that invoke the
callbacks - instead a single type-independent API is used. This simplifies
software that calls into this interface, and should also make it less
error-prone - as forgetting to call and compare *both* thread ID accessors
could have led to hard-to-debug/infrequent bugs (that might only affect
certain platforms or thread implementations). As the CHANGES note says,
there were corresponding deprecations and replacements in the
thread-related functions for BN_BLINDING and ERR too.
(draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt), and do some cleanups and
bugfixes on the way. In particular, this fixes the buffer bounds
checks in ssl_add_clienthello_tlsext() and in ssl_add_serverhello_tlsext().
Note that the opaque PRF Input TLS extension is not compiled by default;

- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7
gets _POSIX_C_SOURC and _ANSI_C_SOURCE defined, which stops u_int from
being defined, and that breaks havock into the rest of the standard
headers... *sigh*
- Enforce that there should be no policy settings when the language
is one of id-ppl-independent or id-ppl-inheritAll.
- Add functionality to ssltest.c so that it can process proxy rights
and check that they are set correctly. Rights consist of ASCII
letters, and the condition is a boolean expression that includes
letters, parenthesis, &, | and ^.
- Change the proxy certificate configurations so they get proxy
rights that are understood by ssltest.c.
- Add a script that tests proxy certificates with SSL operations.
Other changes:
- Change the copyright end year in mkerr.pl.
- make update.
proposed the change and submitted the patch, I jiggled it slightly and
adjusted the other parts of openssl that were affected.

I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.
compression identity is already present among the registered
compression methods, and if so, reject the addition request.
Declare SSL_COMP_get_compression_method() so it can be used properly.
Change ssltest.c so it checks what compression methods are available
and enumerates them. As a side-effect, built-in compression methods
will be automagically loaded that way. Additionally, change the
identities for ZLIB and RLE to be conformant to
draft-ietf-tls-compression-05.txt.
Finally, make update.
Next on my list: have the built-in compression methods added
"automatically" instead of requiring that the author call
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() or
SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods().
defined in DECC$TYPES.H. If _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined, certain types do
not get defined (u_char, u_int, ...). DECC.H gets included by assert.h
and others. Now, in6.h uses the types u_char, u_int and so on, and gets
included as part of other header inclusions, and will of course fail because
of the missing types.
On the other hand, _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is needed to get gethostname()
properly declared...
Solution: define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED much later, so DECC$TYPES.H has
a chance to be included *first*, so the otherwise missing types get defined
properly.

key-generation and prime-checking functions. Rather than explicitly passing
callback functions and caller-defined context data for the callbacks, a new
structure BN_GENCB is defined that encapsulates this; a pointer to the
structure is passed to all such functions instead.
This wrapper structure allows the encapsulation of "old" and "new" style
callbacks - "new" callbacks return a boolean result on the understanding
that returning FALSE should terminate keygen/primality processing. The
BN_GENCB abstraction will allow future callback modifications without
needing to break binary compatibility nor change the API function
prototypes. The new API functions have been given names ending in "_ex" and
the old functions are implemented as wrappers to the new ones. The
OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol has been introduced so that, if defined,
declaration of the older functions will be skipped. NB: Some
openssl-internal code will stick with the older callbacks for now, so
appropriate "#undef" logic will be put in place - this is in case the user
is *building* openssl (rather than *including* its headers) with this
symbol defined.
There is another change in the new _ex functions; the key-generation
functions do not return key structures but operate on structures passed by
the caller, the return value is a boolean. This will allow for a smoother
transition to having key-generation as "virtual function" in the various
***_METHOD tables.
