Previous versions of openssl also created index.txt.new as a temporary work file. That hasn't changed. index.txt.attr is an extra file that contains some extra attributes for index.txt. Right now, there's only one attribute that indicates if multiple records with the same subject are OK or not. Can you tell me exactly what the problem is? The .new files should disappear after an operation... ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
