source files, for that matter) by tolerating the alternatives. It would be
preferable to also change the generated shared library names, but that will
be taken up separately.
during "make errors" and thus during "make update".
Fix lots of bugs that util/ck_errf.pl can detect automatically.
Various others of these are still left to fix; that's why
"make update" will complain loudly when run now.
install to a different location than it had created. (BTW, VMS will need a
matching fix in eng_list.c.) Note, these aren't ssl-specific, so I'm
putting "engines/" into the libs directory rather than at the "--prefix"
level or inside "ssl/".
changes are the fallout). As this could break source code that doesn't
directly include headers for interfaces it uses, changes to recursive
includes are covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. It's better to
define this when building and using openssl, and then adapt code where
necessary - this is how to stay current. However the mechanism exists for
the lethargic.
operations no longer require two distinct BN_CTX structures. This may put
more "strain" on the current BN_CTX implementation (which has a fixed limit
to the number of variables it will hold), but so far this limit is not
triggered by any of the tests pass and I will be changing BN_CTX in the
near future to avoid this problem anyway.
This also changes the default RSA implementation code to use the BN_CTX in
favour of initialising some of its variables locally in each function.
I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.
should not be necessary in any case, but more importantly the result and
input BIGNUMs could be the same, in which case this is clearly a problem.

key operations using the GMP library. The default is not to build (or use)
this code unless OPENSSL_USE_GMP is defined (because it will impose header
and linker dependencies that might need specifying too).
override key-generation implementations by placing handlers in the methods
for DSA and DH. Also, parameter generation for DSA and DH is possible by
another new handler for each method.
- define a HERE variable to indicate where the source tree is (used
very little right now)
- make more use of copying and making attribute changes to {file}.new,
and then move it to {file}
- use 'mv -f' to avoid all those questions to the user when the file
in question doesn't have write attributes for that user.
write external engines (and thus should require only installed openssl
headers and libs to compile without warnings). So this gets rid of recently
introduced compilation warnings (no longer including internal headers) by
including string.h directly.
