OpenSSL version 0.9.6 Beta 1
============================
OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
http://www.openssl.org/
OpenSSL is currently in a release cycle. The first beta is now released.
This beta is in fact two releases, one for the current mainstream
OpenSSL, and one with an "engine" branch incorporated. The "engine"
branch contains an interface to external crypto libraries, which is
currently used to support the hardware devices CryptoSwift (by CryptoSwift
Inc), Atalla (by Compaq) and CHIL (previously called HWCryptoHook, by
nCipher) as well as the internal OpenSSL routines.
The two beta releases are available for download via HTTP and FTP from the
following master locations (the various FTP mirrors you can find under
http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):
o http://www.openssl.org/source/
o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/
The file names of the two betas are:
o openssl-0.9.6-beta1.tar.gz
o openssl-engine-0.9.6-beta1.tar.gz
Please download and test it as soon as possible. This new OpenSSL version
incorporates 75 changes and bugfixes to the toolkit (for a complete list
see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES).
Yours,
The OpenSSL Project Team...
