The usual fun amount of bugfixes leads to the next maintainance release of mod_ssl: 2.8.2. The corresponding ChangeLog entries for version 2.8.2 are appended below. Feel free to upgrade your server installations after grabbing it from the following locations: o http://www.modssl.org/source/ o ftp://ftp.modssl.org/source/ Yours, Ralf S. Engelschall [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.engelschall.com Changes with mod_ssl 2.8.2 (03-Mar-2001 to 30-Mar-2001) *) Moved the Shared Memory Cyclic Buffer (SHMCB) session cache variant from "experimental" state to "production" by removing the `#ifdef SSL_EXPERIMENTAL_SHMCB ...#endif' wrappers. This means that now `SSLSessionCache shmcb:...' is unconditionally available. *) Modified (only) Win32's specific function SSL_recvwithtimeout() to use the same retry logic as SSL_writewithtimeout(). This fixes some problems with MSIE 5.x clients. *) Made the mutex handling more robust by retrying the semaphore-based operations in interrupt situations (errno == EINTR). *) Also log the OpenSSL error message if the RSA temporary key(s) cannot be generated. *) Mention in INSTALL document that building OpenSSL with `no-threads' increased performance without negative side-effects because Apache 1.3 is never multi-threaded. *) Fixed mod_ssl Auth handler: it now returns DECLINED instead of OK if authentication is passed successfully to allow other modules (usually mod_auth) to still deny the request. *) Allow IPC semaphore support also under Tru64 5.x. *) Fixed certificate DN handling under EBCDIC platforms. *) Try to avoid casting warnings by using "unsigned long" type instead of "unsigned int" in the EAPI macros AP_CTX_XXXX. *) Make sure that the default path /usr/include is never added to CFLAGS with an explicit -I options to avoid conflicts with vendor include paths. *) Make extra sure the ssl_expr_parse.[ch] and ssl_expr_scan.c files are not regenerated for regular users by timestamping them in a little bit more conservative way. *) More fixes to configure.bat and Makefile.win32 to make mod_ssl work again under Win32. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org Official Announcement Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
