The old code was painfully primitive and couldn't handle
distinct certificates using the same subject name.
The new code performs several tests on a candidate issuer
certificate based on certificate extensions.
It also adds several callbacks to X509_VERIFY_CTX so its
behaviour can be customised.
Unfortunately some hackery was needed to persuade X509_STORE
to tolerate this. This should go away when X509_STORE is
replaced, sometime...
This must have broken something though :-(
This allows intermediate CAs to be created more easily.
PKCS12_create() now checks private key matches certificate.

New function ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8() converts any ASN1_STRING

functions. These are intended to be replacements
for the ancient ASN1_STRING_print() and X509_NAME_print()
functions.
The new functions support RFC2253 and various pretty
printing options. It is also possible to display
international characters if the terminal properly handles
UTF8 encoding (Linux seems to tolerate this if the
"unicode_start" script is run).
Still needs to be documented, integrated into other

Fix ASN1 long form tag encoding. This never

New options to smime program to allow the
PKCS#7 format to be specified and the content

could be done automagically, much like the numbering in libeay.num and
ssleay.num. The solution works as follows:
- New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following the
syntax given in objects.README.
- objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
obj_mac.h.
- obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
obj_mac.h.
This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way to
check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and check the
array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved around (this is
important!). Additions are OK, as well as consistent name changes.
This is mostly a work around for the old VC++ problem
that it treats func() as func(void).
Various prototypes had been added to 'compare' function
pointers that triggered this. This could be fixed by removing
the prototype, adding function pointer casts to every call or
changing the passed function to use the expected arguments.
I mostly did the latter.
The mkdef.pl script was modified to remove the typesafe
functions which no longer exist.
Oh and some functions called OPENSSL_freeLibrary() were
changed back to FreeLibrary(), wonder how that happened :-)
After some messing around this seems to work but needs
a few more tests. Working out the syntax for sk_set_cmp_func()
(cast it to a function that itself returns a function pointer)
was painful :-(
Needs some testing to see what other compilers think of this
syntax.
Also needs similar stuff for ASN1_SET_OF etc etc.
Also, "make update" has added some missing functions to libeay.num,
updated the TABLE for the alpha changes, and updated thousands of
dependancies that have changed from recent commits.
was a really bad idea. For example, the following:
#include <x509.h>
#include <bio.h>
#include <asn1.h>
would make sure that things like ASN1_UTCTIME_print() wasn't defined
unless you moved the inclusion of bio.h to above the inclusion of
x509.h. The reason is that x509.h includes asn1.h, and the
declaration of ASN1_UTCTIME_print() depended on the definition of
HEADER_BIO_H. That's what I call an obscure bug.
Instead, this change makes sure that whatever header files are needed
for the correct process of one header file are included automagically,
and that the definitions of, for example, BIO-related things are
dependent on the absence of the NO_{foo} macros. This is also
consistent with the way parts of OpenSSL can be excluded at will.
like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names
on some operating systems or other packages. That is reason enough to change
the names of the OpenSSL memory allocation macros to something that has a
better chance of being unique, like prepending them with OPENSSL_.
This change includes all the name changes needed throughout all C files.
yet tighter, and also put some heat on the rest of the library by
insisting (correctly) that compare callbacks used in stacks are prototyped
with "const" parameters. This has led to a depth-first explosion of
compiler warnings in the code where 1 constification has led to 3 or 4
more. Fortunately these have all been resolved to completion and the code
seems cleaner as a result - in particular many of the _cmp() functions
should have been prototyped with "const"s, and now are. There was one
little problem however;
X509_cmp() should by rights compare "const X509 *" pointers, and it is now
declared as such. However, it's internal workings can involve
recalculating hash values and extensions if they have not already been
setup. Someone with a more intricate understanding of the flow control of
X509 might be able to tighten this up, but for now - this seemed the
obvious place to stop the "depth-first" constification of the code by
using an evil cast (they have migrated all the way here from safestack.h).
Fortunately, this is the only place in the code where this was required
to complete these type-safety changes, and it's reasonably clear and
commented, and seemed the least unacceptable of the options. Trying to
take the constification further ends up exploding out considerably, and
indeed leads directly into generalised ASN functions which are not likely
to cooperate well with this.
"Jan Mikkelsen" <janm@transactionsite.com> correctly states that the
OpenSSL header files have #include's and extern "C"'s in an incorrect
order. Thusly fixed.
that can automatically determine the type of a DER encoded
"traditional" format private key and change some of the
d2i functions to use it instead of requiring the application
to work out the key type.
in a table. Doesn't do too much yet.
Make the -<digestname> options in 'x509' affect all relevant
options.
Change the name of the 'notrust' options to 'reject' as this
causes less confusion and is a better description of the
effect.
A few constification changes.
Extend the X509_PURPOSE structure to include shortnames for purposed and default
trust ids.
Still need some extendable trust checking code and integration with the SSL and
S/MIME code.
plain not working :-(
Also fix some memory leaks in the new X509_NAME code.
Fix so new app_rand code doesn't crash 'x509' and move #include so it compiles
under Win32.
Add a bunch of functions to simplify the creation of X509_NAME structures.
Change the X509_NAME_entry_add stuff in req/ca so it no longer uses
X509_NAME_entry_count(): passing -1 has the same effect.
new DSA public key functions that were missing.
Also beginning of a cache for X509_EXTENSION structures: this will allow them
to be accessed more quickly for things like certificate chain verification...
This will soon be complemented with MacOS specific source code files and
INSTALL.MacOS.
I (Andy) have decided to get rid of a number of #include <sys/types.h>.
I've verified it's ok (both by examining /usr/include/*.h and compiling)
on a number of Unix platforms. Unfortunately I don't have Windows box
to verify this on. I really appreciate if somebody could try to compile
it and contact me a.s.a.p. in case a problem occurs.

gcc went one further directory up, as intended; but makedepend thinks
differently, and so probably do some C compilers. So the ../ must go away;
thus e_os.h goes back into include/openssl (but I now use
#include "openssl/e_os.h" instead of <openssl/e_os.h> to make the point) --
and we have another huge bunch of dependency changes. Argh.
There were problems with putting e_os.h just into the top directory,
because the test programs are compiled within test/ in the "standard"
case in in their original directories in the makefile.one case;
and in the latter symlinks may not be available.
PS: Feel free to move the IMPLEMENT_STACK_OF(X509_INFO) from
crypto/asn1/x_info.c to any other place where you think it fits better.
X509_INFO is a structure slightly spreaded over ASN.1, X509 and PEM code,
so I found no definitive location for IMPLEMENT_STACK_OF(X509_INFO). In
crypto/asn1/x_info.c it's at least now bundled with X509_INFO_new() and
friends.

because the function is static and not defined in a header: occasionally because

Also fixed some typos in crypto/pkcs12 that this found :-)
Also tidy up some error calls that had to be all on one line: the old error

were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where I've verified
that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff -rSSLeay_0_8_1b"

GeneralizedTime. At several points PKIX specifies that GeneralizedTime can be
used but OpenSSL doesn't currently support it. This patch adds several files
and a bunch of functions.
Of interest is the ASN1_TIME structure and its related functions. At several
points certificates, CRLs et al specify that a time can be expressed as a
choice of UTCTime and GeneralizedTime. Currently OpenSSL interprets this
(wrongly) as UTCTime because GeneralizedTime isn't supported. The ASN1_TIME
stuff provides this functionality.
Still todo is to trace which cert and CRL points need an ASN1_TIME and modify
the utilities appropriately and of course fix all the bugs.
Note new OpenSSL copyright in the new file a_time.c. I didn't put it in
a_gentm.c because it is a minimally modified form a_utctm.c .
Since this adds new files and error codes you will need to do a 'make errors'
at the top level to add the new codes.

1. The already released version was 0.9.1c and not 0.9.1b
2. The next release should be 0.9.2 and not 0.9.1d, because
first the changes are already too large, second we should avoid any more
0.9.1x confusions and third, the Apache version semantics of
VERSION.REVISION.PATCHLEVEL for the version string is reasonable (and here
.2 is already just a patchlevel and not major change).
