--- Comment #10 from Darren Tucker <[email protected]> 2012-03-30 19:09:45 EST --- (In reply to comment #9) > Note that beta versions on the same fix release (1.0.z should be ABI > compatible.

You'd hope so, however from the CHANGES file in openssl 1.0.1 under "Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1" (a "fix" release, in openssl's parlance) shows, amongst other things: *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying FIPS modules versions. [Steve Henson] *) [...] This enables the following EC_METHODs: EC_GFp_nistp224_method() EC_GFp_nistp256_method() EC_GFp_nistp521_method() so, new functions introduced in "fix" releases. Given this, we are yet to be convinced that "fix" releases both are forward and backward ABI compatible. > Also as the patch level (the letter after version) changes there should > be strictly only bugfixes, these should be even forward-backwards > compatible. Patch level is covered by the 0xff0 mask in both cases. > So for the after 1.0 versions I'd suggest the version_mask to be > ~0xfffffL That'd allow development and release versions to mix too. For now we're only considering release versions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
