[cobalt-users] OpenSSL version 0.9.6f 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
0.9.6f of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS.  This new OpenSSL version
 is a security and bugfix release and incorporates several changes to the
 toolkit (for a complete list see
http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES).

 The most significant changes are:

     o Various important bugfixes.

 We consider OpenSSL 0.9.6f to be the best version of OpenSSL available
 and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as
 soon as possible.  OpenSSL 0.9.6f 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):

   o http://www.openssl.org/source/
   o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/

 [1] OpenSSL comes in the form of two distributions this time.
 The reasons for this is that we want to deploy the external crypto device
 support but don't want to have it part of the "normal" distribution just
 yet.  The distribution containing the external crypto device support is
 popularly called "engine", and is considered experimental.  It's been
 fairly well tested on Unix and flavors thereof.  If run on a system with
 no external crypto device, it will work just like the "normal"
distribution.

 The distribution file names are:

     o openssl-0.9.6f.tar.gz [normal]
       MD5 checksum: 160ac38bd2784e633ed291d03f0087d4
     o openssl-engine-0.9.6f.tar.gz [engine]
       MD5 checksum: 26f4b7189fb3ef9c701e961ffe101a95

 The checksums were calculated using the following commands:

   openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.6f.tar.gz
   openssl md5 < openssl-engine-0.9.6f.tar.gz

 Yours,
 The OpenSSL Project Team...
