This lets + applications get notified on creation and destruction. Some of + the RSA methods could be implemented this way and I may do so. + - Oh yes, SSL under perl5 is working at the basic level. + +15-Dec-97 + - Warning - the gethostbyname cache is not fully thread safe, + but it should work well enough. + - Major internal reworking of the app_data stuff. More functions + but if you were accessing ->app_data directly, things will + stop working. + - The perlv5 stuff is working. Currently on message digests, + ciphers and the bignum library. + +9-Dec-97 + - Modified re-negotiation so that server initated re-neg + will cause a SSL_read() to return -1 should retry. + The danger otherwise was that the server and the + client could end up both trying to read when using non-blocking + sockets. + +4-Dec-97 + - Lots of small changes + - Fix for binaray mode in Windows for the FILE BIO, thanks to + Bob Denny <rdenny@dc3.com> + +17-Nov-97 + - Quite a few internal cleanups, (removal of errno, and using macros + defined in e_os.h). + - A bug in ca.c, pointed out by yasuyuki-ito@d-cruise.co.jp, where + the automactic naming out output files was being stuffed up. + +29-Oct-97 + - The Cast5 cipher has been added. MD5 and SHA-1 are now in assember + for x86. + +21-Oct-97 + - Fixed a bug in the BIO_gethostbyname() cache. + +15-Oct-97 + - cbc mode for blowfish/des/3des is now in assember. Blowfish asm + has also been improved. At this point in time, on the pentium, + md5 is %80 faster, the unoptimesed sha-1 is %79 faster, + des-cbc is %28 faster, des-ede3-cbc is %9 faster and blowfish-cbc + is %62 faster. + +12-Oct-97 + - MEM_BUF_grow() has been fixed so that it always sets the buf->length + to the value we are 'growing' to. Think of MEM_BUF_grow() as the + way to set the length value correctly. + +10-Oct-97 + - I now hash for certificate lookup on the raw DER encoded RDN (md5). + This breaks things again :-(. This is efficent since I cache + the DER encoding of the RDN. + - The text DN now puts in the numeric OID instead of UNKNOWN. + - req can now process arbitary OIDs in the config file. + - I've been implementing md5 in x86 asm, much faster :-). + - Started sha1 in x86 asm, needs more work. + - Quite a few speedups in the BN stuff. RSA public operation + has been made faster by caching the BN_MONT_CTX structure. + The calulating of the Ai where A*Ai === 1 mod m was rather + expensive. Basically a 40-50% speedup on public operations. + The RSA speedup is now 15% on pentiums and %20 on pentium + pro. + +30-Sep-97 + - After doing some profiling, I added x86 adm for bn_add_words(), + which just adds 2 arrays of longs together. A %10 speedup + for 512 and 1024 bit RSA on the pentium pro. + +29-Sep-97 + - Converted the x86 bignum assembler to us the perl scripts + for generation. + +23-Sep-97 + - If SSL_set_session() is passed a NULL session, it now clears the + current session-id. + +22-Sep-97 + - Added a '-ss_cert file' to apps/ca.c. This will sign selfsigned + certificates. + - Bug in crypto/evp/encode.c where by decoding of 65 base64 + encoded lines, one line at a time (via a memory BIO) would report + EOF after the first line was decoded. + - Fix in X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() from + Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com> + +19-Sep-97 + - NO_FP_API and NO_STDIO added. + - Put in sh config command. It auto runs Configure with the correct + parameters. + +18-Sep-97 + - Fix x509.c so if a DSA cert has different parameters to its parent, + they are left in place. Not tested yet. + +16-Sep-97 + - ssl_create_cipher_list() had some bugs, fixes from + Patrick Eisenacher <eisenach@stud.uni-frankfurt.de> + - Fixed a bug in the Base64 BIO, where it would return 1 instead + of -1 when end of input was encountered but should retry. + Basically a Base64/Memory BIO interaction problem. + - Added a HMAC set of functions in preporarion for TLS work. + +15-Sep-97 + - Top level makefile tweak - Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au> + - Prime generation spead up %25 (512 bit prime, pentium pro linux) + by using montgomery multiplication in the prime number test. + +11-Sep-97 + - Ugly bug in ssl3_write_bytes(). Basically if application land + does a SSL_write(ssl,buf,len) where len > 16k, the SSLv3 write code + did not check the size and tried to copy the entire buffer. + This would tend to cause memory overwrites since SSLv3 has + a maximum packet size of 16k. If your program uses + buffers <= 16k, you would probably never see this problem. + - Fixed a new errors that were cause by malloc() not returning + 0 initialised memory.. + - SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG was being switched on when using + SSL_CTX_set_options(ssl_ctx,SSL_OP_ALL); which was a bad thing + since this flags stops SSLeay being able to handle client + cert requests correctly. + +08-Sep-97 + - SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP option added. When switched + on, the SSL server routines will not use a SSL_SESSION that is + held in it's cache. This in intended to be used with the session-id + callbacks so that while the session-ids are still stored in the + cache, the decision to use them and how to look them up can be + done by the callbacks. The are the 'new', 'get' and 'remove' + callbacks. This can be used to determine the session-id + to use depending on information like which port/host the connection + is coming from. Since the are also SSL_SESSION_set_app_data() and + SSL_SESSION_get_app_data() functions, the application can hold + information against the session-id as well. + +03-Sep-97 + - Added lookup of CRLs to the by_dir method, + X509_load_crl_file() also added. Basically it means you can + lookup CRLs via the same system used to lookup certificates. + - Changed things so that the X509_NAME structure can contain + ASN.1 BIT_STRINGS which is required for the unique + identifier OID. + - Fixed some problems with the auto flushing of the session-id + cache. It was not occuring on the server side. + +02-Sep-97 + - Added SSL_CTX_sess_cache_size(SSL_CTX *ctx,unsigned long size) + which is the maximum number of entries allowed in the + session-id cache. This is enforced with a simple FIFO list. + The default size is 20*1024 entries which is rather large :-). + The Timeout code is still always operating. + +01-Sep-97 + - Added an argument to all the 'generate private key/prime` + callbacks. It is the last parameter so this should not + break existing code but it is needed for C++. + - Added the BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL flag for the BIO_f_base64() + BIO. This lets the BIO read and write base64 encoded data + without inserting or looking for '\n' characters. The '-A' + flag turns this on when using apps/enc.c. + - RSA_NO_PADDING added to help BSAFE functionality. This is a + very dangerous thing to use, since RSA private key + operations without random padding bytes (as PKCS#1 adds) can + be attacked such that the private key can be revealed. + - ASN.1 bug and rc2-40-cbc and rc4-40 added by + Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com> + +31-Aug-97 (stuff added while I was away) + - Linux pthreads by Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com). + - RSA_flags() added allowing bypass of pub/priv match check + in ssl/ssl_rsa.c - Tim Hudson. + - A few minor bugs. + SSLeay 0.8.1 released. 19-Jul-97 |
