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.
DSA_free(): this was causing crashes when for example an attempt was made
to handle a (currently) unsupported DH public key. Also X509_PUBKEY_set()i
wasn't checking errors from d2i_PublicKey().
`openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>' are no
longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command line
interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
Notice, the openssl.cnf, openssl.c and progs.pl files were changed after a
repository copy, i.e. they still contain the complete file history.
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).
