README.080

This version of SSLeay has quite a lot of things different from the
previous version.

Basically check all callback parameters, I will be producing documentation
about how to use things in th future.  Currently I'm just getting 080 out
the door.  Please not that there are several ways to do everything, and
most of the applications in the apps directory are hybrids, some using old
methods and some using new methods.

Have a look in demos/bio for some very simple programs and
apps/s_client.c and apps/s_server.c for some more advanced versions.
Notes are definitly needed but they are a week or so away.

Anyway, some quick nots from Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com)

Quick porting notes for moving from SSLeay-0.6.x to SSLeay-0.8.x to
get those people that want to move to using the new code base off to
a quick start.

Note that Eric has tidied up a lot of the areas of the API that were
less than desirable and renamed quite a few things (as he had to break
the API in lots of places anyrate). There are a whole pile of additional
functions for making dealing with (and creating) certificates a lot
cleaner.

To maintain code that uses both SSLeay-0.6.x and SSLeay-0.8.x you could
use something like the following (assuming you #include "crypto.h" which
is something that you really should be doing).

#if SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x0800
#define SSLEAY8
#endif

buffer.h -> splits into buffer.h and bio.h so you need to include bio.h
            too if you are working with BIO internal stuff (as distinct
	    from simply using the interface in an opaque manner)

#include "bio.h"	- required along with "buffer.h" if you write
			  your own BIO routines as the buffer and bio
			  stuff that was intermixed has been separated
			  out 
			
envelope.h -> evp.h  (which should have been done ages ago)

Initialisation ... don't forget these or you end up with code that
is missing the bits required to do useful things (like ciphers):

SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms()
(probably also want SSL_load_error_strings() too but you should have
 already had that call in place)

SSL_CTX_new()	- requires an extra method parameter
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_method()) 
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_method()) 
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_method()) 

		  OR to only have the server or the client code
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_server_method()) 
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_server_method()) 
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_server_method()) 
		  or  
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method()) 
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_client_method()) 
		      SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_client_method()) 

SSL_set_default_verify_paths() ... renamed to the more appropriate
SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths()

If you want to use client certificates then you have to add in a bit
of extra stuff in that a SSLv3 server sends a list of those CAs that
it will accept certificates from ... so you have to provide a list to
SSLeay otherwise certain browsers will not send client certs.

SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx,SSL_load_client_CA_file(s_cert_file));


X509_NAME_oneline(X)	-> X509_NAME_oneline(X,NULL,0)	
			   or provide a buffer and size to copy the
			   result into

X509_add_cert ->  X509_STORE_add_cert (and you might want to read the
		  notes on X509_NAME structure changes too)


VERIFICATION CODE
=================

The codes have all be renamed from VERIFY_ERR_* to X509_V_ERR_* to
more accurately reflect things.

The verification callback args are now packaged differently so that
extra fields for verification can be added easily in future without
having to break things by adding extra parameters each release :-)

X509_cert_verify_error_string -> X509_verify_cert_error_string


BIO INTERNALS
=============

Eric has fixed things so that extra flags can be introduced in
the BIO layer in future without having to play with all the BIO
modules by adding in some macros.

The ugly stuff using 
	b->flags ~= (BIO_FLAGS_RW|BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY)
becomes
	BIO_clear_retry_flags(b)

	b->flags |= (BIO_FLAGS_READ|BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY)
becomes
	BIO_set_retry_read(b)

Also ... BIO_get_retry_flags(b), BIO_set_flags(b)



OTHER THINGS
============

X509_NAME has been altered so that it isn't just a STACK ... the STACK
is now in the "entries" field ... and there are a pile of nice functions
for getting at the details in a much cleaner manner.

SSL_CTX has been altered ... "cert" is no longer a direct member of this
structure ... things are now down under "cert_store" (see x509_vfy.h) and
things are no longer in a CERTIFICATE_CTX but instead in a X509_STORE.
If your code "knows" about this level of detail then it will need some 
surgery.

If you depending on the incorrect spelling of a number of the error codes
then you will have to change your code as these have been fixed.

ENV_CIPHER "type" got renamed to "nid" and as that is what it actually
has been all along so this makes things clearer.
ify_cert_error_string(ctx->error));

SSL_R_NO_CIPHER_WE_TRUST -> SSL_R_NO_CIPHER_LIST
			and SSL_R_REUSE_CIPHER_LIST_NOT_ZERO
