Should add to this: 1.1.1 is the LTS version of OpenSSL; 1.1.0 is no longer supported upstream. It's not going to be practical to backport anything to 1.1.0.
1.1.1 has no API breakage beyond 1.1.0 (which you already did) and you should upgrade this during bionic. 1.1.1 also adds TLSv1.3. If you don't, a LOT of people are going to be running 18.04 with frankenpatches. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780807 Title: Please provide ED25519 support in 18.04 OpenSSL Status in openssl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Current libss1.1 version in Bionic is 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1 and lacking support for the ED25519 signature algorithm. As ED25519 is quickly gaining traction as most demanded and preferred elliptic curve algorithm, it would be a substantial issue not to have any support for it in the remaining lifetime of Ubuntu LTS released most recently. OpenSSL is introducing ED25519 with their 1.1.1 release, which is currently in beta (openssl-1.1.1-pre8 as of today). I suggest to upgrade Bionic libss1.1 to OpenSSL 1.1.1, once finally released by OpenSSL.
