I've updated the version of OpenSSL to 0.9.8e-1. This also includes the
openssl-devel package.
This is an upstream security and bugfix release. The Cygwin release is
the vanilla version, no additional patches.
=== NOTE === NOTE === NOTE ===
The compatibility package openssl097 will not be updated anymore and its
usage is deprecated. If you're still using any application relying on
openssl 0.9.7, consider updating or rebuilding to a new version which
depends on openssl 0.9.8. None of the packages in the Cygwin net
distribution is built against openssl 0.9.7 anymore.
Official release message:
=======================================================================
OpenSSL version 0.9.8e and 0.9.7m released
==========================================
OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
http://www.openssl.org/
The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of
version 0.9.8e of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new
OpenSSL version is a feature and bugfix release and incorporates
enhancements and bugfixes to the toolkit. For a complete list of
changes, please see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES.
The 0.9.8e release includes RFC3779 support and several cipher
selection bugfixes.
We also release 0.9.7m, which is the first full release of OpenSSL
which can be linked against the validated FIPS 1.1.1 module.
We consider OpenSSL 0.9.8e to be the best version of OpenSSL
available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions
upgrade as soon as possible. OpenSSL 0.9.8e is available for
download via HTTP and FTP from the following master locations (you
can find the various FTP mirrors under
http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):
* http://www.openssl.org/source/
* ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/
For those who want or have to stay with the 0.9.7 series of
OpenSSL, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.7m
as soon as possible. It's available in the same location as
0.9.8e.
