6859cf7459 It makes more sense to refer to specific function manuals than the concept
manual when the specific function is refered to in the current manual text.

5bf738737d These are updates/fixes to DH/DSA/RAND docs based on the fixes to the RSA
docs. There were a couple of other places (including RSA) where the docs
were not quite synchronised with the API that are now fixed. One or two
still remain to be fixed though ...

ac120e20e3 Various parts of the RSA documentation were inaccurate and out of date and
this fixes those that I'm currently aware of. In particular, the ENGINE
interference in the RSA API has hopefully been clarified. This still needs
to be done for other areas of the API ...

3f90e45079 A single monolithic man page for the ENGINE stuff. This is a rough

c2e4f17c1a Due to an increasing number of clashes between modern OpenSSL and
libdes (which is still used out there) or other des implementations,
the OpenSSL DES functions are renamed to begin with DES_ instead of
des_.  Compatibility routines are provided and declared by including
openssl/des_old.h.  Those declarations are the same as were in des.h
when the OpenSSL project started, which is exactly how libdes looked
at that time, and hopefully still looks today.

The compatibility functions will be removed in some future release, at
the latest in version 1.0.

a661b65357 New functions SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback().
New macros SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().

Message callback imlementation for SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 (no SSL 2.0 yet).

New '-msg' option for 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server'
that enable a message callback that displays all protocol messages.


In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert if
client_version is smaller than the protocol version in use.
Also change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0
if the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then the
client will at least see that alert.

Fix SSL[_CTX]_ctrl prototype (void * instead of char * for generic
pointer).

Add/update some OpenSSL copyright notices.

From: "Chris D. Peterson" <cpeterson@aventail.com>
  Subject: Implementation Issues with OpenSSL

  Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 16:13:17 -0700
The patch included in the original post may improve the internal session
list handling (and is therefore worth a seperate investigation).
No change to the list handling will however solve the problems of incorrect
SSL_SESSION_free() calls. The session list is only one possible point of
failure, dangling pointers would also occur for SSL object currently
using the session. The correct solution is to only use SSL_SESSION_free()
when applicable!

cf1b7d9664 Make all configuration macros available for application by making
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.

35ed8cb8b6 Integrate my implementation of a countermeasure against
Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.  With this implementation, the expected
number of iterations never exceeds 2.

New semantics for BN_rand_range():
BN_rand_range(r, min, range) now generates r such that
     min <= r < min+range.
(Previously, BN_rand_range(r, min, max) generated r such that
     min <= r < max.
It is more convenient to have the range; also the previous
prototype was misleading because max was larger than
the actual maximum.)

ab5db00717 Update the LHASH man page.
* Correct some prototypes and macros with respect to "const"ness.

* Add the extra macros and examples due to the lh_doall[_arg] modifications
  made recently. The existing example is also reworked for consistency.

* Rewrite, tweak, and supplement bits of the existing comments that seemed
  (IMHO) to be a little convoluted and misleading.

* Add a NOTE section that explains the use of macros and avoiding function
  casts (ie. generate a wrapper as with the macros, or prototype any
  callback functions exactly to not require casting). Also, explain the
  "const" approach taken in LHASH for the purposes of API comprehensibility
  and also application code auditing.
