Heads up maintainers of curl, exim, fetchmail, links, lynx (huh, that's me!), mod_php4, mod_ssl, mutt, pine, python and wget.
I've just released the new openssl-0.9.7 package which overrides openssl-0.9.6. 0.9.6h will still be available but only the runtime libs (aka DLLs) for compatibility reasons, packaged as "openssl096". Visible effect: You'll see four crypto and ssl DLLs in /bin now: cygcrypto.dll cygssl.dll which are still the 0.9.6h versions and cygssl-0.9.7.dll cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll which are the new 0.9.7 versions (as the name suggests). Libs and headers for development are only available for 0.9.7 from now on. I'd like to encourage all maintainers of packages linked against openssl at least to test ASAP how your package behaves when only 0.9.7 is available for building. And perhaps you could also release a new version of your package linked against 0.9.7. There's a good incentive to do that: Since some important functions are now available in x86 assembler rather than in C, 0.9.7 should feel faster than older versions. One caveat: 0.9.7 doesn't contain a crypt() function anymore. If your package needs that function, either link additionally against libcrypt.a (from the crypt package) or change calls to crypt() to calls to DES_crypt(). I did release a new openssh linked against openssl 0.9.7 and now also linked against libcrypt.a to be a good example ;-) Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc.
