Changes between 0.8.x and 0.9.0b

10-Apr-1998

I said the next version would go out at easter, and so it shall.
I expect a 0.9.1 will follow with portability fixes in the next few weeks.

This is a quick, meet the deadline.  Look to ssl-users for comments on what
is new etc.

16-Mar-98
    - Patch for Cray T90 from Wayne Schroeder <schroede@SDSC.EDU>
    - Lots and lots of changes

29-Jan-98
    - ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit()/ASN1_BIT_STRING_get_bit() from
      Goetz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>.
    - SSL_version() now returns SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION or
      TLS1_VERSION.

7-Jan-98
    - Finally reworked the cipher string to ciphers again, so it
      works correctly
    - All the app_data stuff is now ex_data with funcion calls to access.
      The index is supplied by a function and 'methods' can be setup
      for the types that are called on XXX_new/XXX_free.  This lets
      applications get notified on creation and destruction.  Some of
      the RSA methods could be implemented this way and I may do so.
    - Oh yes, SSL under perl5 is working at the basic level.

15-Dec-97
    - Warning - the gethostbyname cache is not fully thread safe,
      but it should work well enough.
    - Major internal reworking of the app_data stuff.  More functions
      but if you were accessing ->app_data directly, things will
      stop working.
    - The perlv5 stuff is working.  Currently on message digests,
      ciphers and the bignum library.

9-Dec-97
    - Modified re-negotiation so that server initated re-neg
      will cause a SSL_read() to return -1 should retry.
      The danger otherwise was that the server and the
      client could end up both trying to read when using non-blocking
      sockets.

4-Dec-97
    - Lots of small changes
    - Fix for binaray mode in Windows for the FILE BIO, thanks to
      Bob Denny <rdenny@dc3.com>

17-Nov-97
    - Quite a few internal cleanups, (removal of errno, and using macros
      defined in e_os.h).
    - A bug in ca.c, pointed out by yasuyuki-ito@d-cruise.co.jp, where
      the automactic naming out output files was being stuffed up.

29-Oct-97
    - The Cast5 cipher has been added.  MD5 and SHA-1 are now in assember
      for x86.

21-Oct-97
    - Fixed a bug in the BIO_gethostbyname() cache.

15-Oct-97
    - cbc mode for blowfish/des/3des is now in assember.  Blowfish asm
      has also been improved.  At this point in time, on the pentium,
      md5 is %80 faster, the unoptimesed sha-1 is %79 faster,
      des-cbc is %28 faster, des-ede3-cbc is %9 faster and blowfish-cbc
      is %62 faster.

12-Oct-97
    - MEM_BUF_grow() has been fixed so that it always sets the buf->length
      to the value we are 'growing' to.  Think of MEM_BUF_grow() as the
      way to set the length value correctly.

10-Oct-97
    - I now hash for certificate lookup on the raw DER encoded RDN (md5).
      This breaks things again :-(.  This is efficent since I cache
      the DER encoding of the RDN.
    - The text DN now puts in the numeric OID instead of UNKNOWN.
    - req can now process arbitary OIDs in the config file.
