- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7
proposed the change and submitted the patch, I jiggled it slightly and
adjusted the other parts of openssl that were affected.

Use BUF_strlcat() instead of strcat().
Use BIO_snprintf() instead of sprintf().
In some cases, keep better track of buffer lengths.
This is part of a large change submitted by Markus Friedl <markus@openbsd.org>
rationale behind the move is that it's use by several applications.
The rationale behind the name change is that it describes what the
function does a bit better.

itself builds, but to alter the way openssl headers can be used from an API
point of view. The "deprecated" function wrappers will always remain inside
OpenSSL at least as long as they're still being used internally. :-)
The exception is dsaparam which has been updated to the BN_GENCB-based
functions to test the new functionality. If GENCB_TEST is defined, dsaparam
will support a "-timebomb <n>" switch to cancel parameter-generation if it
gets as far as 'n' seconds without completion.
exit() in whatever way works for the intended platform, and define
OPENSSL_EXIT() to have the old meaning (the name is of course because

Load config file in several openssl utilities.
Most utilities now load modules from the config file,
though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
because it couldn't be used for anything.
In the case of ca and req the config file used is
the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
command line option can be used to specify an
alternative file.
Add new extension functions which work with NCONF.

Also, have our own password callback that we can send both a password

that the passed parameter is a password, which isn't always the right
thing, and the ENGINE code (at least the nCipher one) makes other
assumptions...
Also, in spite of having the functions to load keys, some utilities
did the loading all by themselves... That's changed too.

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.
Remove the old broken bio read of serial numbers in the 'ca' index

a negative serial number.
Fix typo in uid.c
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.
like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names

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.
