pyOpenSSL 0.9 Released
Written for pyOpenSSL by Jean-Paul Calderone on 2009-04-28
I'm happy to announce the release of pyOpenSSL 0.9. This release includes several new features and a very important bug fix:
* APIs have been introduced to get and set the version of an X509 request
* Contexts now support loading CA certificates for verification from a specified directory or from the platform's default certificate store
* DTLS-related constants, OP_NO_QUERY_MTU, OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE, and OP_NO_TICKET are now exposed
* X509Extension now has the `get_short_name´ method for retrieving the short form of the extension type
* It is now possible to create extensions which use any of the three possible OpenSSL implementation approaches
* FILETYPE_TEXT can be used to dump keys, certificate, and CSRs in text format
* Various compiler warnings have been fixed
* A bug triggered by almost all uses of pyOpenSSL from multiple threads and leading to a crash has been fixed
Many thanks to numerous people who contributed patches to this release.
