We're strictly use version numbers of the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
Letter releases are things of days past.
The most central change is that we now express the version number with
three macros, one for each part of the version number:
OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR
OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR
OPENSSL_VERSION_PATCH
We also provide two additional macros to express pre-release and build
metadata information (also specified in semantic versioning):
OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE
OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA
To get the library's idea of all those values, we introduce the
following functions:
unsigned int OPENSSL_version_major(void);
unsigned int OPENSSL_version_minor(void);
unsigned int OPENSSL_version_patch(void);
const char *OPENSSL_version_pre_release(void);
const char *OPENSSL_version_build_metadata(void);
Additionally, for shared library versioning (which is out of scope in
semantic versioning, but that we still need):
OPENSSL_SHLIB_VERSION
We also provide a macro that contains the release date. This is not
part of the version number, but is extra information that we want to
be able to display:
OPENSSL_RELEASE_DATE
Finally, also provide the following convenience functions:
const char *OPENSSL_version_text(void);
const char *OPENSSL_version_text_full(void);
The following macros and functions are deprecated, and while currently
existing for backward compatibility, they are expected to disappear:
OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT
OPENSSL_VERSION
OpenSSL_version_num()
OpenSSL_version()
Also, this function is introduced to replace OpenSSL_version() for all
indexes except for OPENSSL_VERSION:
OPENSSL_info()
For configuration, the option 'newversion-only' is added to disable all
the macros and functions that are mentioned as deprecated above.

$(SHLIB_MAJOR).$(SHLIB_MINOR) is really a synonym for
$(SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER), and is therefore an added complexity,
so better to use $(SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER) directly. SHLIB_MAJOR and
SHLIB_MINOR are now unused, but are kept around purely as information
in case someone relies on their existence.
At the same time, add support for custom shared library extensions
with the three new Makefile variables SHLIB_EXT, SHLIB_EXT_SIMPLE and
SHLIB_EXT_IMPORT. By default, they hold the variants of shared
library extensions we support. On mingw and cygwin, SHLIB_EXT_IMPORT
is defined; on all other Unix platforms, it's empty.
An example to get shared libraries with a slightly different SOVER name:
$ make SHLIB_EXT='.$(SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER).so'

With OpenSSL 1.1 and on, the engines are tightly tied to the shared
library they're to be used with. That makes them depend on the
pointer size as well as the shared library version, and this gets
reflected in the name of the directory they're installed in.

We're installing architecture dependent (compiled) programs in
architecture specific directories, while architecture independent
programs (scripts) get installed in the general programs directory.
OSSL$EXE: reflects that by having two values.

We previously had a number of logical names for the different parts.
There's really no need for that, the default directories are in one
directory tree. So we only define OSSL$DATAROOT: and make everything
related to that one.

OpenSSL engines are tied to the OpenSSL shared library versions,
starting with OpenSSL 1.1. We therefore need to install them in
directories which have the shared library version in it's name, to
easily allow multiple OpenSSL versions to be installed at the same
time.
For VMS, the change is a bit more involved, primarly because the top
installation directory was already versioned, *as well as* some of the
files inside. That's a bit too much. Version numbering in files is
also a bit different on VMS. The engines for shared library version
1.1 will therefore end up in OSSL$INSTROOT:[ENGINES0101.'arch']
('arch' is the architecture we build for)

- The install top is versioned by default. However, only the major
version should be used.
- the default areas for certs, private keys an config files have
changed, now all prefixed with 'OSSL$'. This gets reflected in
cryptlib.h.
- [.VMS]openssl_startup.com.in had some faults regarding creating
rooted concealed logical names.

As part of this, change util/mkdef.pl to stop adding libraries to
depend on in its output. mkdef.pl should ONLY output a symbol
vector.
Because symbol names can't be longer than 31 characters, we use the
compiler to shorten those that are longer down to 23 characters plus
an 8 character CRC. To make sure users of our header files will pick
up on that automatically, add the DEC C supported extra headers files
__decc_include_prologue.h and __decc_include_epilogue.h.
Furthermore, we add a config.com, so VMS people can configure just as
comfortably as any Unix folks, thusly:
@config
