Since there was some functions added in libeay.num, it means things
are going to move in libeay.num in the OpenSSL-engine-0_9_6-stable
branch and in the main trunk.
functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
"OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
is normally done by Configure or something similar).
To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
in the source file (foo.c) like this:
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
#define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
#define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
and make all files the depend on it include it without prefixing it
with openssl/.
This means that all Makefiles will have $(TOP) as one of the include
directories.
SSL/TLS session IDs in a server. According to RFC2246, the session ID is an
arbitrary value chosen by the server. It can be useful to have some control
over this "arbitrary value" so as to choose it in ways that can aid in
things like external session caching and balancing (eg. clustering). The
default session ID generation is to fill the ID with random data.
The callback used by default is built in to ssl_sess.c, but registering a
callback in an SSL_CTX or in a particular SSL overrides this. BTW: SSL
callbacks will override SSL_CTX callbacks, and a new SSL structure inherits
any callback set in its 'parent' SSL_CTX. The header comments describe how
this mechanism ticks, and source code comments describe (hopefully) why it
ticks the way it does.
Man pages are on the way ...

this.]
form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and '#if !defined(...)
&& !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids the growing number of
special cases it was previously handling (some of them wrongly).
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.
I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
I've no idea were the KRB5 header files and libraries are placed on
Win32. When there's better knowledge, we might be able to process the
other KRB5-related arguments as well...
* detect "unknown" algorithms (any C macro starting with NO_ that is
not explicitely mentioned in mkdef.pl as a known algorithm) and
report.
* add a number of algorithms that can be deselected.
* look in ssl/kssl.h as well.
* accept multiple whitespace (not just one SPC) in preprocessor lines.

The right thing would really be to fix crypto/rand/rand_win.c to load

record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it. This can be very confusing.
The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record. Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.
Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this. After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.
process when some symbols are missing. Instead, all needed info is
saved in the .num files, including what conditions are needed for a
specific symbol to exist.
This was needed for the work I'm doing with shared libraries under
VMS.

the order of files in the directory.
This should now mean that all systems will
agree on the order of safestack.h and will
not change it needlessly and avoid massive
needless commits to safestack.h in future.
It wont however avoid this one :-(
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 :-)
be needed in some ENGINE code, and might serve elsewhere as well.
Note that it's implemented in such a way that the locking itself is
done through the same CRYPTO_lock function as the static locks.
WARNING: This is currently experimental and untested code (it will get
tested soon, though :-)).
sk_whatever_insert and sk_whatever_set immediately reveals the subtle
difference in parameter order.
Change mkstack.pl so that safestack.h is not rewritten when
nothing has changed.
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.
"symbols" including functions (of all prototypes( and variables. Whilst
casting any function type to another violates ANSI C (I believe), it is
a necessary evil in shared-library APIs. However, it is quite
conceivable that functions in general and data symbols could very well
be represented differently to each other on some systems, as Bodo said;

I agree. So this change splits the "dso_bind" handler in DSO_METHOD
into "dso_bind_var" and "dso_bind_func". Similarly the exported
function DSO_bind() has been split in two. I've also put together
changes for the various DSO_METHOD implementations, but so far only
DSO_dlfcn() has been tested. BTW: The prototype for dso_bind had been
a bit strange so I've taken the opportunity to change its shape (in
both variations).
Also, the README has been updated - particularly with a note about
using customised native name-translation for shared libraries (and that
you can't do it yet).
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.
structures and functions for each stack type. The previous behaviour
can be enabled by configuring with the "-DDEBUG_SAFESTACK" option.
This will also cause "make update" (mkdef.pl in particular) to
update the libeay.num and ssleay.num symbol tables with the number of
extra functions DEBUG_SAFESTACK creates.
The way this change works is to accompany each DECLARE_STACK_OF()
macro with a set of "#define"d versions of the sk_##type##_***
functions that ensures all the existing "type-safe" stack calls are
precompiled into the underlying stack calls. The presence or abscence
of the DEBUG_SAFESTACK symbol controls whether this block of
"#define"s or the DECLARE_STACK_OF() macro is taking effect. The
block of "#define"s is in turn generated and maintained by a perl
script (util/mkstack.pl) that encompasses the block with delimiting
C comments. This works in a similar way to the auto-generated error
codes and, like the other such maintenance utilities, is invoked
by the "make update" target.
A long (but mundane) commit will follow this with the results of
"make update" - this will include all the "#define" blocks for
each DECLARE_STACK_OF() statement, along with stripped down
libeay.num and ssleay.num files.
There's no trace of it being implemented and it doesn't seem to have been
intended given that it is prototyped with a BIO yet there was a BIO-
specific version added in at the same time.
variety of platforms. A few are missing, and they will be added in
eventually, but as this is new stuff, it was better to not break lots of
platforms in one go that we can't easily test. The changes to "Configure"
should illustrate how to add support to other systems if you feel like
having a go.
NB: I'll add something shortly to allow you to add "dlfcn.h" support on
those platforms that don't have (or need) a dlfcn.h header file. (The
symbol for Configure will probably by "dlfcn_no_h").
Thanks to Richard Levitte, who is responsible for the dso_dl.c support,
understanding the trickier aspects of the build process, and giving great
feedback on everything else.

PR:
This was meant for building individual ciphers separately;
but nothing of this is maintained, it does not work
because we rely on central configuration by the Configure
utility with <openssl/opensslconf.h> etc., so the files
are only wasting space and time.
don't have a version that will handle the L<foo(1)|foo(1)> construct yet, here
is a copy from my laptop (slightly modifed to work independently of the place
where perl itself resides).
