Hi Daniel,
I went through the changes required for OpenSSL 3 support (including a few
general improvements) and nominated them in ^/serf/branches/1.3.x/STATUS.
These nominations are currently one vote short from being backported, so I'd
say that once the remaining votes are in place, we could start thinking about
releasing serf 1.3.10.
The shortlog of those nominations is included below:
----------------------------------------------------
* r1712131, r1807594, r1811088, r1861036, r1909315, r1909316
Add support for building with VS2017-VS2022, assuming a new enough scons.
* r1901040
Fix test_ssl_handshake() failure with OpenSSL 1.1.1i+.
Justification:
Serf should test cleanly against upstreams.
* r1901937
Remove the use of ERR_GET_FUNC() to allow building against OpenSSL 3.
Justification:
Serf should work with OpenSSL 3.
* r1902208, r1902304
Rework BIO control handlers to support BIO_CTRL_EOF and to properly respond
to unknown control values.
Justification:
- Fixes "unexpected eof while reading" errors with OpenSSL 3, also
observed in the test suite.
- Fixes a user-reported issue with OpenSSL 3 where serf BIOs are
incorrectly assumed to support KTLS:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253135
* r1909252, r1909385, r1909406, r1909413, r1909433
Do not use OpenSSL functions that operate with FILE to avoid potential CRT
versions mismatch. Use BIO based functions instead.
Justification:
Avoids a potential source of CRT versions mismatch. Removes a dependency
on openssl/applink.c.
