1.29 beck 343: <ul>
344: <li> Fixed a bug in int_x509_param_set_hosts, calling strlen() if name
345: length provided is 0 to match the OpenSSL behaviour. Issue noticed
346: by Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
347: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
348: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
349: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
350: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
351: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
352: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
353: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
354: no pre-existing documentation.
355: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
356: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
357: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
358: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
359: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
360: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
361: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
362: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
363: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
364: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
365: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
366: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
367: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
368: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
369: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
370: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
371: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
372: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.

755: <blockquote><pre>
756: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>

760: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
761: server.]
762: <p>
763: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
764: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
765: <p>
766: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
767: would like to know more, the mailing list
768: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
