Title: AmiSSL 4.1 for AmigaOS4/PPC and AmigaOS3/m68k released
Post by: eliyahu on March 15, 2017, 02:42:09 PM

via the amissl team (https://github.com/jens-maus/amissl/releases/tag/4.1)...

Version 4.1 of the AmiSSL library for Amiga based operating systems and an update to the first public open-source based release of AmiSSL is now available. Version 4.1 is a new major release which comes with full compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.0e which includes important security related fixes and comes with new encryption ciphers which are required nowadays to connect to modern SSL-based services (e.g. HTTPS). However, due to fundamental changes in the API between the old AmiSSLv3 and new v4 versions and the large changes between the old OpenSSL 0.9.x and the new OpenSSL 1.1.x line applications have to be recompiled with the updated AmiSSL SDK to take full advantage of the modernized OpenSSL 1.1.x API. Besides that fundamental change, AmiSSLv4 can be installed on top of a AmiSSLv3 installation while still ensuring that applications compiled for AmiSSLv3 will continue to work properly.

Requirements
AmigaOS 4.0+/PPC, AmigaOS 3.0+/68020+

Changes

• Updated OpenSSL backend to full compatibility to latest OpenSSL 1.1.0e (16.02.2017) version.
• MorphOS can now be selected as an install target with the OS3/m68k version being installed. For a native PPC version we would require some work to be done by some talented MorphOS developers.
• Added some m68k asm replacement code for potentially speeding up BN calculation routines.
• Added AmiUpdate compatibility.
• included a newlib compiled version of libamisslauto.a.
• Minor improvements/Fixes for install script.
