13 | - switch to using RSA_generate_key_ex, which is the badly documented |
|
|
14 | and needlessly more complicated replacement for the RSA_generate_key |
|
|
15 | function which is now deprecated. |
|
|
16 | - support additional hmac hashes: sha256 and sha512, usually truncated. |
|
|
17 | - change public exponent for rsa keys from 65535 to 65537, for |
|
|
18 | efficiency reasons - only affects new keys. |
|
|
19 | - nodes would sometimes declare transport endpoints valid despite |
|
|
20 | the protocol not being configured locally. |
|
|
21 | - new global configuration options: chroot, chuser, chuid, chgid, |
|
|
22 | to chroot to a specified or anonymous new root, and change user id. |
|
|
23 | - new global configuration options seed_device and seed_interval, |
|
|
24 | to configure another device than /dev/urandom for random seeds, |
|
|
25 | and to configure a regular imterval to reseed the rng. |
|
|
26 | - prefer inet_aton over gethostbyname, as the latter is not guaranteed |
|
|
27 | to "resolve" literal ip addresses. |
|

28 | - configure didn't detect openssl 1.0 because SHA1_version became private |
