The previous approach was to use the version number - from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice - should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated - by the Finished messages. - [Bodo Moeller] - - *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows. - [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>] - - *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is - not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors - to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does - handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows - what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes - appropriately. - [Steve Henson] - - *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for - a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything - including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would - wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal - counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the - tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE: - that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type - "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this - case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all - together. - [Steve Henson] - - *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to - in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will - write a separate record, which will be read separately by the - programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing. - - The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer - text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a - line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line, - not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've - seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is - the answer. - - Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has - been tested well enough. - [Richard Levitte] - - *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery, - it can return incorrect results. - (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a, - but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].) - [Bodo Moeller] - - *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached - signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly) - include zero length content when signing messages. - [Steve Henson] + Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000] *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs). - [Bodo Möller] *) Add DSO method for VMS.
