  AVAILABLE PATCHES

o 

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UI (User Interface)
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification
OCSP

  NEEDS PATCH

o  0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
   handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL STATUS is never up-to-date.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)

  WISHES

o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
   where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff

   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UI (User Interface)
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification
OCSP

  NEEDS PATCH

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL STATUS is never up-to-date.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)

  WISHES

o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
   where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.

o 

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UI (User Interface)
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification
OCSP

  NEEDS PATCH

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL STATUS is never up-to-date.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)

  WISHES

o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
   where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.

ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.

Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.

o  OpenSSL STATUS is never up-to-date.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)

  WISHES

o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
   where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.

  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks

   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,

  NEEDS PATCH

o  All 'openssl' subprograms taking '-des' and '-des3' options should
   include AES support (0.9.7-dev)

o  'openssl speed' should include AES support (0.9.7-dev)

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
   #include openssl/e_os.h in exported header files is illegal since
   e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.

o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
   or an error is reported

o  OpenSSL STATUS is never up-to-date.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for

o IA-64 (a.k.a. Intel Itanium) public-key operation performance 
  patch for Linux is available for download at
  http://www.openssl.org/~appro/096b.linux-ia64.diff. As URL
  suggests the patch is relative to OpenSSL 0.9.6b.

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UI (User Interface)
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification
OCSP

  NEEDS PATCH

o  All 'openssl' subprograms taking '-des' and '-des3' options should
   include AES support (0.9.7-dev)

o  'openssl speed' should include AES support (0.9.7-dev)

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
   #include openssl/e_os.h in exported header files is illegal since
   e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.

o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
   or an error is reported

o  OpenSSL STATUS is never up-to-date.

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay

  patch for Linux is available for download at
  http://www.openssl.org/~appro/096b.linux-ia64.diff. As URL
  suggests the patch is relative to OpenSSL 0.9.6b.

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UI (User Interface)
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
Kerberos 5 authentication

  NEEDS PATCH

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
   #include openssl/e_os.h in exported header files is illegal since
   e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.

o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
   or an error is reported

  OPEN ISSUES

o  crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
   with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
   CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
   The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
   to offer.

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UI (User Interface)
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.

  NEEDS PATCH

o  apps/ca.c: Sign the certificate? - n creates empty certificate file

o  OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
   #include openssl/e_os.h in exported header files is illegal since
   e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.

o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
   or an error is reported

  OPEN ISSUES

o  crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
   with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
   CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
   The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
   to offer.

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
   and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up

.h is suitable only for library-internal use.

o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
   or an error is reported

  OPEN ISSUES

o  crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
   with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
   CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
   The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
   to offer.

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
   and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
   to date.

o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
OCSP
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification

  NEEDS PATCH

o  non-blocking socket on AIX
o  $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o  "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file

  OPEN ISSUES

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
   and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up

o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
EVP cipher enhancement.
Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Dynamic thread-lock support.
Shared library support for VMS.

  NEEDS PATCH

o  non-blocking socket on AIX
o  $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o  "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file

  OPEN ISSUES

o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
  CA flag ...)

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
   and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
   to date.

  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)


o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
   totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
   with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
   Net::SSLeay package we can find under
   http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
   longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
   to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
   Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
   us.

   Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
   and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
   to date.

  RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS

  AVAILABLE PATCHES

o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)

  IN PROGRESS

o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
EVP cipher enhancement.
Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
  functionality that is currently missing).
Dynamic thread-lock support.

  NEEDS PATCH

o  non-blocking socket on AIX
o  $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o  "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file

  OPEN ISSUES

o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
  CA flag ...)

o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:

   1. The config vs. Configure scripts
  It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
  src/Configure. It confuses.
  Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
  script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
  Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
  itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
  which are currently in Configure.

o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
   for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
   Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
   solution to be really simple.

   Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
   compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
   into the OpenSSL Configure script.

   Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)
