River stage four • 181 direct dependents • 2320 total dependents

Changes for version 1.89_03 - 2020-12-12

  • Expose the following functions:
    • X509_STORE_CTX_get0_cert, X509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain
    • sk_X509_pop, sk_X509_shift, sk_X509_unshift,
    • sk_X509_insert, sk_X509_delete, sk_x509_value, sk_X509_num Thanks to Dan Freed.
  • Correct the minimum OpenSSL version required for the following functions to be made available (previously they were all declared to be present in 1.1.0-pre1, which caused Net::SSLeay to crash at run-time when built against OpenSSL versions between 1.1.0-pre1 and 1.1.0-pre3):
    • CTX_set_max_proto_version (added in 1.1.0-pre2)
    • CTX_set_min_proto_version (added in 1.1.0-pre2)
    • SESSION_up_ref (added in 1.1.0-pre4)
    • set_max_proto_version (added in 1.1.0-pre2)
    • set_min_proto_version (added in 1.1.0-pre2)
  • Correct the minimum OpenSSL version required for get_SSL_CTX and SSL_ctrl to be made available (previously they were declared to be present from 0.9.8f onwards, when in reality they are available in all 0.9.8 versions).
  • Replace the PKI used by the test suite with one generated by the generate-test-pki helper script. All entities in the new PKI have 2048-bit RSA private keys and CSRs, certificates and CRLs with SHA-256 digests, allowing the test suite to execute under OpenSSL security level 2 (now the default security level for OpenSSL in many Linux distributions).
  • Initialise libssl consistently in the test suite.
  • Don't rely on the availability of specific SSL/TLS protocol versions or cipher suites in the test suite; instead, dynamically select from any of the available protocol versions and cipher suites permitted by libssl. Fixes RT#132425. Thanks to Graham Ollis for the initial report of the test suite failing on Ubuntu 20.04 with the Ubuntu-packaged OpenSSL, whose configuration forbids the use of TLSv1.1 and below at run-time by default.

Changes for version 1.89_02 - 2020-08-07

  • Add support for the P_X509_CRL_add_extensions function. Thanks to Manuel Mausz for the patch.
  • X509_get_subjectAltNames now knows how to return GEN_RID. The returned value is an ASN OID in text format with current maximum length of 2500 characters. Updated t/local/33_x509_create_cert.t to use GEN_RID and all other supported types with certificate request and signed certificate. These relate to GitHub issue GH-149 opened by s482dcaw.
  • Support for 64-bit Windows versions of OpenSSL from 1.0.0-beta1 through to 1.0.0b has been withdrawn due to malfunctions occurring in Perl programs that use fork(). This mainly affects users of Strawberry Perl x64 5.12.3.20180709, which ships with OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta4. Affected users should build Net-SSLeay against OpenSSL 1.0.0c or above; users of Strawberry Perl x64 5.12.3.20180709 may instead find it easier to upgrade to Strawberry Perl x64 5.14.4.1 or above. See https://github.com/radiator-software/p5-net-ssleay/issues/189 for more information.

Changes for version 1.89_01 - 2020-03-22

  • Fix the repository URL in Makefile.PL (git:// rather than git@), which was preventing it from being added to META.json. Thanks to Dan Book.
  • When building Net-SSLeay, exit if an OpenSSL executable cannot be found in PATH. Fixes RT#131060. Thanks to Nigel Horne for the report.
  • Remove non-OCSP external tests, many of which unnecessarily duplicate local tests or fail for reasons outside of our control. Fixes RT#129542. Thanks to Andreas Vögele for the bug report that ultimately led to this change.
  • Add support for LibreSSL on Windows when built with Visual C++. Thanks to Graham Ollis for the patch.
  • In SSL_CTX_free() and SSL_free(), clean callback-related data from the global hash after freeing ctx, not before. This allows callbacks to be executed during freeing. Thanks to Steffen Ullrich for the patch.
  • t/local/07_sslecho.t started failing with OpenSSL 1.1.1e. Updated the test file with missing calls to Net::SSLeay::shutdown(). Also added one call in SSLeay.pm sslcat() function. Enabling SSLeay trace level 3 showed 'unexpected eof while reading' errors which were added to OpenSSL with commit db943f43. This fixes GitHub issue GH-160 reported by Brett T. Warden.
  • t/local/01_pod.t now requires Test::Pod 1.41 to work with Pod syntax used with Net::SSLeay 1.88 and later. This fixes GitHub issue GH-147 reported by Ulrik Haugen.
