OpenSSL version 1.0.0 Beta 1
============================
OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
http://www.openssl.org/
OpenSSL is currently in a release cycle. The first beta is now released.
The beta release is available for download via HTTP and FTP from the
following master locations (the various FTP mirrors you can find under
http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):
Oh and to those who have noticed the date... the joke is that it
isn't a joke.

The problem is that I was under the distinct impression 0.9.9 was the
next release and 1.0.0 was a pipe dream a few years down the road (at
least). Given these conditions, no one is going to believe you just
because it IS April 1st. Awfully legitimate looking though. You really
should have waited a whole 24 hours for this announcement, assuming it
is legit. If this is legit, you're going to have to re-announce it
tomorrow (and change the release date on the website). Releasing and
announcing real software on April Fool's is a no-no in any marketing book.
Releasing fake software would definitely take April Fool's Day jokes to
a whole new level.
