latest releases: 1.94, 1.93_05, 1.93_04...
4 years ago
  • New stable release incorporating all changes from developer
    releases 1.86_01 to 1.86_11.
  • From this release, Net-SSLeay is switching to an "odd/even"
    developer/stable release version numbering system, like that of
    many core modules (e.g. ExtUtils::MakeMaker): developer releases
    will have an odd minor version number (and the usual "_xx" suffix),
    and stable releases will have an even minor version number. This
    means there is no Net-SSLeay 1.87.
  • Summary of major changes since version 1.85:
    • Mike McCauley has stepped down as maintainer. The new maintainers
      are Chris Novakovic, Heikki Vatiainen and Tuure Vartiainen.
    • The source code has moved from the now-defunct Debian Subversion
      server (alioth.debian.org) to GitHub
      (https://github.com/radiator-software/p5-net-ssleay).
    • Net-SSLeay is provided under the terms of the Artistic License
      2.0 - this has been the case since version 1.66, but references
      to other licenses remained in the source code, causing ambiguity.
    • Perl 5.8.1 or newer is now required to use Net-SSLeay. This has
      already been the case for some time in practice, as the test
      suite hasn't fully passed on Perl 5.6 for several years.
    • Much-improved compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1, and improved
      support for TLS 1.3.
    • Fixed a long-standing bug in cb_data_advanced_put() that caused
      memory leaks when callbacks were frequently added and removed.
    • Support in the test suite for "hardened" OpenSSL configurations
      that set a default security level of 2 or higher (e.g., in the
      OpenSSL packages that ship with recent versions of Debian, Fedora
      and Ubuntu).
