That's because the original validation #1051 has been extended to include additional platforms. Each such extension resulting in a change to the software (each set of extensions, actually) results in an incremented module revision number, now at 1.2.3. The functionality of revision 1.2.3 completely subsumes that of prior revisions, hence reference to those has been dropped. There is no reason to use any earlier revisions for any new product development or deployment, but deployed instances of earlier revisions remain valid. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
