pyOpenSSL Distribution Change Log

Changes from 0.9.0_0.9.8k_1 to 0.9.0_0.9.8l_1:

• Upgraded the included OpenSSL libraries to version 0.9.8l, which includes a number of important bug fixes related to SSL, most notably the work-around for the Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) TLS vulnerability disclosed on Nov. 5th, tracked as CVE-2009-3555.
  
• IMPORTANT: The work-around chosen by the OpenSSL team is to disable SSL session renegotiations altogether. This can cause applications relying on this feature on the client or server side to fail. You can still download the previous version of our pyOpenSSL distribution if you run into such problems.
  

Changes from 0.8.1_0.9.8j_2 to 0.9.0_0.9.8k_1:

• Upgraded the included pyOpenSSL library to version 0.9, which includes a new fix for the threading problems of version 0.8 and several new features.
• Upgraded the included OpenSSL libraries to version 0.9.8k, which includes a number of important bug fixes related to SSL.

Changes from 0.8.1_0.9.8j_1 to 0.8.1_0.9.8j_2:

• Added support for Mac OS X and pre-built archives for this platform.

Changes from 0.8.0_0.9.8j_1 to 0.8.1_0.9.8j_1:

• Fixed a serious problem with pyOpenSSL 0.8.0 and multi-threaded applications: the new threading fixes cause invalid thread states in the Python interpreter which resulted in random core dumps and seg faults. The patch was provided by Maxim Sobolev on SourceForge. Note that this patch has not yet been integrated into upstream pyOpenSSL.
• Added pre-built archives for Windows upon request from the Plone people: this makes it easier to integrate the archives into buildout scripts.

Changes from 0.8.0_0.9.8i_1 to 0.8.0_0.9.8j_1:

• Upgraded the included OpenSSL libs to version 0.9.8j, which fixes a vulnerability found in earlier OpenSSL releases of the 0.9.8 branch: CVE-2008-5077.
• Enabled zlib compression support in OpenSSL for both the Linux and Windows builds, so OpenSSL client/servers can now negotiate on-the-fly zlib compression for SSL connections.

Changes from 0.7.0_0.9.8i_1 to 0.8.0_0.9.8i_1:

• Upgraded the included pyOpenSSL library to version 0.8, which includes several threading related fixes
• Applied several fixes to resolve compiler warnings

Changes from 0.7.0_0.9.8h_1 to 0.7.0_0.9.8i_1:

• Upgraded the included OpenSSL libraries to 0.9.8i, which includes security related bug fixes
• Added Python 2.6 support and binaries
