Onderwerp: Newer OpenSSL (3.5+) on 14-STABLE?

Hi folks,

since OpenSSL 3.0 will go EOL in 2026-09, but 14-STABLE will live more than two 
years after that is there any planning to upgrade to OpenSSL 3.5 in 14.4 or 
later?

The question popped up since upstream projects are now starting to remove OpenSSL 
< 3.0.0 support and 13.x will be cutoff with OpenSSL from base.

Examples:
* https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/#main
*
https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/69c89bf3d3137fcbb2b8bc57233182adcf1e2817

PS: I am not planning to use OpenSSl from ports for various reasons




According to the release strategy of OpenSSL, version 3.5 should be API/ABI 
compatible as only the minor version increases.

In the end it I think it would be best to ask the people who did the heavy 
lifting of the import if porting to 14 is feasible or not.
