Specifically, an ASN.1 NumericString in the certificate CN will fail UTF-8 conversion
and result in a negative return value, which the "x509 -checkhost" command-line option
incorrectly interpreted as success.
Also update X509_check_host docs to reflect reality.
Thanks to Sean Burford (Google) for reporting this issue.

Remove support for SHA0 and DSS0 (they were broken), and remove
the ability to attempt to build without SHA (it didn't work).
For simplicity, remove the option of not building various SHA algorithms;
you could argue that SHA_224/256/384/512 should be kept, since they're
like crypto algorithms, but I decided to go the other way.
So these options are gone:
GENUINE_DSA OPENSSL_NO_SHA0
OPENSSL_NO_SHA OPENSSL_NO_SHA1
OPENSSL_NO_SHA224 OPENSSL_NO_SHA256
OPENSSL_NO_SHA384 OPENSSL_NO_SHA512

The original RT request included a patch. By the time
we got around to doing it, however, the callback scheme
had changed. So I wrote a new function RSA_check_key_ex()
that uses the BN_GENCB callback. But thanks very much

RT1665: aes documentation.
Paul Green wrote a nice aes.pod file.

I also noticed that rc4.pod has spurious references to some other

In two OpenSSL manual pages, in the NAME section, the last word of the

minor, it is worth fixing because it may confuse some makewhatis(8)
implementations.
While here, also add the missing word "size" to the one line
description in SSL_CTX_set_max_cert_list(3).

Reduces number of silly casts in OpenSSL code and likely most
applications. Consistent with (char *) for "peername" value from
X509_check_host() and X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get0_peername().
IN parameter.
Under the old docs, the only thing stated was "at most
EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes will be written". It was kind of misleading
since it appears EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) WILL be written regardless of the
signature's buffer size.
A client reference identity of ".example.com" matches a server
certificate presented identity that is any sub-domain of "example.com"
(e.g. "www.sub.example.com).
With the X509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS flag, it matches
only direct child sub-domains (e.g. "www.sub.example.com").
Remove reference to ERR_TXT_MALLOCED in the error library as that is
only used internally. Indicate that returned error data must not be
freed.

The primary changes made are:
- Updates to the "NAME" section of many pages to correctly reflect the
functions defined on those pages. This section is automatically parsed
by the util/extract-names.pl script, so if it is not correct then
running "man" will not correctly locate the right manual pages.
- Updates to take account of where functions are now deprecated
- Full documentation of the ec sub-library
- A number of other typo corrections and other minor tweaks
Add CMS_RecipientInfo_encrypt: this function encrypts an existing content
encryption key to match the key in the RecipientInfo structure: this is
useful if a new recpient is added to and existing enveloped data structure.
Add documentation.
podlators 2.5.0 has switched to dying on POD syntax errors. This means
that a bunch of long-standing erroneous POD in the openssl documentation
now leads to fatal errors from pod2man, halting installation.
Unfortunately POD constraints mean that you have to sort numeric lists
in ascending order if they start with 1: you cannot do 1, 0, 2 even if
you want 1 to appear first. I've reshuffled such (alas, I wish there
were a better way but I don't know of one).

to 'unsigned long' (ie. odd platforms/compilers), so a pointer-typed
version was added but it required portable code to check *both* modes to
determine equality. This commit maintains the availability of both thread
ID types, but deprecates the type-specific accessor APIs that invoke the
callbacks - instead a single type-independent API is used. This simplifies
software that calls into this interface, and should also make it less
error-prone - as forgetting to call and compare *both* thread ID accessors
could have led to hard-to-debug/infrequent bugs (that might only affect
certain platforms or thread implementations). As the CHANGES note says,
there were corresponding deprecations and replacements in the
thread-related functions for BN_BLINDING and ERR too.
