o New library section OCSP. o New library section OCSP.
o Complete haul-over of the ASN.1 library section. o Complete rewrite of ASN1 code.
o CRL checking in verify code and openssl utility.
o Extension copying in 'ca' utility.
o Flexible display options in 'ca' utility.
o Provisional support for international characters with UTF8.
o Support for external crypto devices ('engine') is no longer o Support for external crypto devices ('engine') is no longer
a separate distribution. a separate distribution.
o New elliptic curve library section.
o New AES (Rijndael) library section.
o Change DES API to clean up the namespace (some applications link also
against libdes providing similar functions having the same name).
Provide macros for backward compatibility (will be removed in the
future).
o Unifiy handling of cryptographic algorithms (software and
engine) to be available via EVP routines for asymmetric and
symmetric ciphers.
o NCONF: new configuration handling routines.
o Change API to use more 'const' modifiers to improve error checking
and help optimizers.
o Finally remove references to RSAref.
o Reworked parts of the BIGNUM code.
o Support for new engines: Broadcom ubsec, Accelerated Encryption
Processing, IBM 4758.
o PRNG: query at more locations for a random device, automatic query for
EGD style random sources at several locations.
o SSL/TLS: allow optional cipher choice according to server's preference.
o SSL/TLS: allow server to explicitly set new session ids.
o SSL/TLS: support Kerberos cipher suites (RFC2712).
o SSL/TLS: allow more precise control of renegotiations and sessions.
o SSL/TLS: add callback to retrieve SSL/TLS messages.
Changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6c and OpenSSL 0.9.6d:
o Various SSL/TLS library bugfixes.
o Fix DH parameter generation for 'non-standard' generators.
