2018-12-06Switch to MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versioning and version 3.0.0-devRichard Levitte1-1/+3
We're strictly use version numbers of the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Letter releases are things of days past. The most central change is that we now express the version number with three macros, one for each part of the version number: OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR OPENSSL_VERSION_PATCH We also provide two additional macros to express pre-release and build metadata information (also specified in semantic versioning): OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA To get the library's idea of all those values, we introduce the following functions: unsigned int OPENSSL_version_major(void); unsigned int OPENSSL_version_minor(void); unsigned int OPENSSL_version_patch(void); const char *OPENSSL_version_pre_release(void); const char *OPENSSL_version_build_metadata(void); Additionally, for shared library versioning (which is out of scope in semantic versioning, but that we still need): OPENSSL_SHLIB_VERSION We also provide a macro that contains the release date. This is not part of the version number, but is extra information that we want to be able to display: OPENSSL_RELEASE_DATE Finally, also provide the following convenience functions: const char *OPENSSL_version_text(void); const char *OPENSSL_version_text_full(void); The following macros and functions are deprecated, and while currently existing for backward compatibility, they are expected to disappear: OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT OPENSSL_VERSION OpenSSL_version_num() OpenSSL_version() Also, this function is introduced to replace OpenSSL_version() for all indexes except for OPENSSL_VERSION: OPENSSL_info() For configuration, the option 'newversion-only' is added to disable all the macros and functions that are mentioned as deprecated above.

The OMC hasn't yet decided what the next release version will be, but it's at least going to 1.1.2, so we set that value for the moment. Reviewed-by: Matthias St. Pierre <Matthias.St.Pierre@ncp-e.com> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7180)

2017-06-27util/mkerr.pl: allow module names prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_Richard Levitte1-1/+1
To make sure that our symbols don't clash with other libraries, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL. Because C doesn't provide namespaces, the only solution is to have them as prefixes on symbols, thus we allow OSSL_ and OPENSSL_ as prefixes. These namespace prefixes are optional for the foreseeable future, and will only be used for new modules as needed on a case by case basis, until further notice. For extra safety, there's an added requirement that module names - apart from the namespace prefix - be at least 2 characters long.

2016-01-22Refresh the thinking of --prefix and --openssldirRichard Levitte1-0/+3
--prefix is now exclusively used for software and manual installation. --openssldir is not exclusively used as a default location for certs, keys and the default openssl.cnf. This change is made to bring clarity, to have the two less intertwined, and to be more compatible with the usual ways of software installation. Please change your habits and scripts to use --prefix rather than --openssldir for installation location now. Reviewed-by: Viktor Dukhovni <viktor@openssl.org>
