1.88 2019-05-10
- New stable release incorporating all changes from developer
releases 1.86_01 to 1.86_11.
- From this release, Net-SSLeay is switching to an "odd/even"
developer/stable release version numbering system, like that of
many core modules (e.g. ExtUtils::MakeMaker): developer releases
will have an odd minor version number (and the usual "_xx" suffix),
and stable releases will have an even minor version number. This
means there is no Net-SSLeay 1.87.
- Summary of major changes since version 1.85:
- Mike McCauley has stepped down as maintainer. The new maintainers
are Chris Novakovic, Heikki Vatiainen and Tuure Vartiainen.
- The source code has moved from the now-defunct Debian Subversion
server (alioth.debian.org) to GitHub
(https://github.com/radiator-software/p5-net-ssleay).
- Net-SSLeay is provided under the terms of the Artistic License
2.0 - this has been the case since version 1.66, but references
to other licenses remained in the source code, causing ambiguity.
- Perl 5.8.1 or newer is now required to use Net-SSLeay. This has
already been the case for some time in practice, as the test
suite hasn't fully passed on Perl 5.6 for several years.
- Much-improved compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1, and improved
support for TLS 1.3.
- Fixed a long-standing bug in cb_data_advanced_put() that caused
memory leaks when callbacks were frequently added and removed.
- Support in the test suite for "hardened" OpenSSL configurations
that set a default security level of 2 or higher (e.g., in the
OpenSSL packages that ship with recent versions of Debian, Fedora
and Ubuntu).
