This new OpenSSL version incorporates 104 documented changes and bugfixes to the toolkit (for a complete list see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES and http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/NEWS). Since the fourth beta, the following has happened: - Changed -m486 to -march=i486 in Configure. - Added a new NetWare target that uses BSD sockets. - Propagate INSTALL_PREFIX to inner Makefiles. - Make it possible to read files larger than 2GB with the FILE BIO. - Enhance cipher suite parsing. - Other bug fixes... Reports and patches should be sent to openssl-bugs@openssl.org. Discussions around the development of OpenSSL should be sent to openssl-dev@openssl.org. Anything else should go to openssl-users@openssl.org. The best way, at least on Unix, to create a report is to do the following after configuration: make report That will do a few basic checks of the compiler and bc, then build and run the tests. The result will appear on screen and in the file "testlog". Please read the report before sending it to us. There may be problems that we can't solve for you, like missing programs.
