Hi all,

The OpenSSL guys are working on a solution to the conflicting
des_encrypt() function names on Solaris and Unixware.

Whilst this bodes well for future versions, how are we going to work
around conflicts with existing versions?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Subject: Delayed release of OpenSSL 0.9.6a beta 3

The release of OpenSSL 0.9.6a beta3 and the true release have been
delayed.  The reason for the delay is mainly due to the following
paper and the need to add a fix for the problem it describes:

http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/abstracts/faults.html

The problem is now fixed in the current source tree.  At the same
time, we're trying to solve the last small known problem (the reported
clash with des_encrypt() on some systems), to make sure that beta 3
has a fair chance of becoming the actual release.

Thanks for your patience.
