I've run programs built with earlier 0.9.8 versions talking to programs built with earlier 1.0.1 versions with no problems. As far as what goes across the network, they should be entirely compatible as long as they have some ciphersuites and protocol versions in common, which they normally will. (They're not necessarily API- or binary-compatible--- that is, if you build a program, link it against the 0.9.8 dynamic library, and when you run it give it the 1.0.1 dynamic library instead, things can break. But it doesn't sound like that's what you're doing.) ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
