1.1 deraadt 295: </ul>
296: </ul>
297: <p>
298:
1.22 jsg 299: <li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
1.29 beck 300: <ul>
301: <li> Fixed a bug in int_x509_param_set_hosts, calling strlen() if name
302: length provided is 0 to match the OpenSSL behaviour. Issue noticed
303: by Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
304: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
305: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
306: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
307: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
308: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
309: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
310: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
311: no pre-existing documentation.
312: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
313: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
314: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
315: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
316: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
317: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
318: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
319: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
320: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
321: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
322: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
323: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
324: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
325: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
326: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
327: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
328: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
329: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
330: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
331: duplicated code.

704: <p>
705: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
706: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
707: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
708: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
709: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
710: with a command like:
711:
712: <blockquote><pre>
713: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
714: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>

716:
717: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
718: server.]
719: <p>
720: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
721: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
722: <p>
723: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
724: would like to know more, the mailing list
725: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
