OpenSSL version 1.0.0 Beta 4 released

OpenSSL – The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS

http://www.openssl.org/

OpenSSL is currently in a release cycle. The fourth beta is now released.
This is expected be the final or penultimate beta depending on the number
of bugs reported.

The beta release is 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 beta are:

o openssl-1.0.0-beta4.tar.gz
Size: 4000628
MD5 checksum: f22750164e1db42145803fed8104df57
SHA1 checksum: f590232651b9033365e0aa9a2279cdef6519884c

The checksums were calculated using the following command:

openssl md5 < openssl-1.0.0-beta4.tar.gz
openssl sha1 < openssl-1.0.0-beta4.tar.gz

Please download and test them as soon as possible. This new OpenSSL
version incorporates 120 documented changes and bugfixes to the
toolkit (for a complete list see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES).

Also check the latest snapshots at ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
or CVS (see http://www.openssl.org/source/repos.html) to avoid
reporting previously fixed bugs.

Since the third beta, the following has happened:

- Initial TLS session renegotiation fix
- TLS ticket and SNI coexistance fix
- Several DTLS fixes and updates.
- Custom OCSP headers.
- Check return values properly on some functions.
- Some documentation for X509 chain verification functions.
- Time routines fixed for CRL generation.
- Additional PRNG duplication protection.
- Cross compilation updates.
- Build system fixes including VMS.
- 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.

Yours,
The OpenSSL Project Team…
