Changes for version 1.50 - 2012-12-13

  • Fixed a problem where t/handle/external/50_external.t would crash if any of the test sites were not contactable. Now builds on VMS. Patch kindly supplied by Craig A. Berry. Fixed a few compiler warnings in SSLeay.xs. Most of them are just signed/unsigned pointer mismatches but there is one that actually fixes returning what would be an arbitrary value off the stack from get_my_thread_id if it happened to be called in a non-threaded build. Patch kindly supplied by Craig A. Berry. Added README.VMS, contributed by Craig A. Berry. Added SSL_set_tlsext_host_name, SSL_get_servername, SSL_get_servername_type, SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback for server side Server Name Indication (SNI) support. Patched by kmx. Further mods for VMS building supplied by Craig A. Berry. Fixed a problem with C++ comments preventing builds on AIX and HPUX. Patched by Gisle Aas. perdition.org not available for tests, changed to www.open.com.au Added SSL_FIPS_mode_set Improvements to test suite so it succeeds with and without FIPS mode enabled. Patch supplied by Petr Pisar. Added documentation, warning not to pass UTF-8 data in the content argument to post_https. Reported by Jason Terry.
