As the -1.10 implementation of TLS does not properly support renegotiation, -the approach in this release is simply to send the renegotiation -extension SCSV, which should protect the client against any handshake -splicing. In addition renegotiation attempts are handled properly -instead of causing handshake failures - all hello requests, and all -client hellos after the initial negotiation, are ignored. Some -bugs affecting DSA server authentication were also fixed. - -By popular request, ``Pipe::reset`` no longer requires that message -processing be completed, a requirement that caused problems when a -Filter's end_msg call threw an exception, after which point the Pipe -object was no longer usable. - -Support for getting entropy using the rdrand instruction introduced in -Intel's Ivy Bridge processors has been added. In previous releases, -the ``CPUID::has_rdrand`` function was checking the wrong cpuid bit, -and would false positive on AMD Bulldozer processors. - -An implementation of SRP-6a compatible with the specification in RFC -5054 is now available in ``srp6.h``. In 1.11, this is being used for -TLS-SRP, but may be useful in other environments as well. - -An implementation of the Camellia block cipher was added, again largely -for use in TLS. - -If ``clock_gettime`` is available on the system, hres_timer will poll all -the available clock types. - -AltiVec is now detected on IBM POWER7 processors and on OpenBSD systems. -The OpenBSD support was contributed by Brad Smith. - -The Qt mutex wrapper was broken and would not compile with any recent -version of Qt. Taking this as a clear indication that it is not in use, -it has been removed. - -Avoid setting the soname on OpenBSD, as it doesn't support it (:pr:`158`) - -A compilation problem in the dynamic loader that prevented using -dyn_load under MinGW GCC has been fixed. - -A common error for people using MinGW is to target GCC on Windows, -however the 'Windows' target assumes the existence of Visual C++ -runtime functions which do not exist in MinGW. Now, configuring for -GCC on Windows will cause the configure.py to warn that likely you -wanted to configure for either MinGW or Cygwin, not the generic -Windows target. - -A bug in configure.py would cause it to interpret `--cpu=s390x` as -`s390`. This may have affected other CPUs as well. Now configure.py -searches for an exact match, and only if no exact match is found will -it search for substring matches. - -An incompatability in configure.py with the subprocess module included -in Python 3.1 has been fixed (:pr:`157`). - -The exception catching syntax of configure.py has been changed to the -Python 3.x syntax. This syntax also works with Python 2.6 and 2.7, but -not with any earlier Python 2 release. A simple search and replace -will allow running it under Python 2.5:: - - perl -pi -e 's/except (.*) as (.*):/except $1, $2:/g' configure.py - -Note that Python 2.4 is not supported at all. |
