- update from current 0.9.6-stable CHANGES file
- update from current 0.9.7-stable CHANGES file: Now here we have "CHANGES between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8", and I hope that all patches mentioned for 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e actually are in the CVS HEAD, i.e. what is to become 0.9.8. I have rewritten the 'openssl ca -create_serial' entry (0.9.8) so that it explains the earlier change that is now listed (0.9.7e). The ENGINE_set_default typo bug entry has been moved from 0.9.8 to 0.9.7b, which is where it belongs.

OpenSSL CHANGES

- Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
*) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
[Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
- *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
- violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
- This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
- number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
- certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
- number file is now moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new
- option -create_serial.
+ *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
+ moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
+
+ (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
+ number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
+ the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
+ patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
+ CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
+ we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
