idea and mdc2 patents expired, so enable them by default.
rc5 looks like it might be expired as well, but I didn't find
anything relevant on that topic, so I left it alone.
Bump PKGREVISION.
that we can now take advantage of AES-NI support in modern processors to significantly
increase performance.
Miscellaneous pkgsrc changes:
- Remove unnecessary warning message on Solaris.
- Fix RPATH for libgost.so.
- MD2 support is optional, enabled by default for compatability.
pkgsrc notes:
o Tested on NetBSD/i386 (Jukka Salmi), Mac OSX 10.5 (Adrian Portelli),
Linux (Jeremy C. Reed), Tru64 5.1b (tnn), HP-UX 11i (tnn).
Because the Makefile system has been rewamped, other
platforms may require fixes. Please test if you can.
o OpenSSL can now be built with installation to DESTDIR.
Overview of important changes since 0.9.7i:
o Add gcc 4.2 support.
o DTLS improvements.
o RFC4507bis support.
o TLS Extensions support.
o RFC3779 support.
o New cipher Camellia
o Updated ECC cipher suite support.
o New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
o Zlib compression usage fixes.
o Major work on the BIGNUM library for higher efficiency and to
make operations more streamlined and less contradictory. This
is the result of a major audit of the BIGNUM library.
o Addition of BIGNUM functions for fields GF(2^m) and NIST
curves, to support the Elliptic Crypto functions.
o Major work on Elliptic Crypto; ECDH and ECDSA added, including
the use through EVP, X509 and ENGINE.
o New ASN.1 mini-compiler that's usable through the OpenSSL
configuration file.
o Added support for ASN.1 indefinite length constructed encoding.
o New PKCS#12 'medium level' API to manipulate PKCS#12 files.
o Complete rework of shared library construction and linking
programs with shared or static libraries, through a separate
Makefile.shared.
o Rework of the passing of parameters from one Makefile to another.
o Changed ENGINE framework to load dynamic engine modules
automatically from specifically given directories.
o New structure and ASN.1 functions for CertificatePair.
o Changed the key-generation and primality testing "progress"
mechanism to take a structure that contains the ticker
function and an argument.
o New engine module: GMP (performs private key exponentiation).
o New engine module: VIA PadLOck ACE extension in VIA C3
Nehemiah processors.
o Added support for IPv6 addresses in certificate extensions.
See RFC 1884, section 2.2.
o Added support for certificate policy mappings, policy
constraints and name constraints.
o Added support for multi-valued AVAs in the OpenSSL
configuration file.
o Added support for multiple certificates with the same subject
in the 'openssl ca' index file.
o Make it possible to create self-signed certificates using
'openssl ca -selfsign'.
o Make it possible to generate a serial number file with
'openssl ca -create_serial'.
o New binary search functions with extended functionality.
o New BUF functions.
o New STORE structure and library to provide an interface to all
sorts of data repositories. Supports storage of public and
private keys, certificates, CRLs, numbers and arbitrary blobs.
This library is unfortunately unfinished and unused withing
OpenSSL.
o New control functions for the error stack.
o Changed the PKCS#7 library to support one-pass S/MIME
processing.
o New FIPS 180-2 algorithms (SHA-224, -256, -384 and -512).
o New X509_VERIFY_PARAM structure to support parametrisation
of X.509 path validation.
o Change the default digest in 'openssl' commands from MD5 to
SHA-1.
o Added support for DTLS.
o New BIGNUM blinding.
o Added support for the RSA-PSS encryption scheme
o Added support for the RSA X.931 padding.
o Added support for files larger than 2GB.
o Added alternate pkg-config files.
rc5, and replace with {idea,mdc2,rc5}-nonlicense. Because pkgsrc does
not yet handle multiple licenses, set LICENSE to
openssl-patented-algorithms-nonlicense.
Pkgsrc changes from version 0.9.7e include:
*) Install the man pages with names that are less likely to collide
with other packages' man pages.
*) Support PKG_OPTIONS of "idea", "mdc2" and "rc5" to allow building
with patented algorithms. By default, this package still builds
without patented algorithms.
Major changes from version 0.9.7e include:
*) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
*) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
*) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
*) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
*) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct.
