Special thanks to Peter Wagemans for the patch. * Potential security problem with syslog() call fixed. Version 3.8p4, 2000.06.25 bri@stunnel.org: * fixes for Windows platform Version 3.8p3, 2000.06.24 bri@stunnel.org: * Compile time definitions for the following: --with-cert-dir --with-cert-file --with-pem-dir --enable-ssllib-cs * use daemon() function instead of daemonize, if available * fixed FreeBSD threads checking (patch from robertw@wojo.com) * added -S flag, allowing you to choose which default verify sources to use * relocated service name output logging until after log_open. (no longer outputs log info to inetd socket, causing bad SSL) * -V flag now outputs the default values used by stunnel * Removed DH param generation in Makefile.in * Moved stunnel.pem to sample.pem to keep people from blindly using it * Removed confusing stunnel.pem check from Makefile. * UPGRADE NOTE: this version seriously changes several previous stunnel default behaviours. There are no longer any default cert file/dirs compilied into stunnel, you must use the --with-cert-dir and --with-cert-file configure arguments to set these manually, if desired. Stunnel does not use the underlying ssl library defaults by default unless configured with --enable-ssllib-cs. Note that these can always be enabled at run time with the -A,-a, and -S flags. Additionally, unless --with-pem-dir is specified at compile time, stunnel will default to looking for stunnel.pem in the current directory. Version 3.8p2, 2000.06.13 bri@stunnel.org: * Fixes for Win32 platform * Minor output formatting changes * Fixed version number in files Version 3.8p1, 2000.06.11 bri@stunnel.org: * Added rigerous PRNG seeding * PID changes (and related security-fix) * Man page fixes * Client SSL Session-IDs now used * -N flag to specify tcpwrapper service name Version 3.8, 2000.02.24: * Checking for threads in c_r library for FreeBSD. * Some compatibility fixes for Ultrix. * configure.in has been cleaned up. Separate directories for SSL certs and SSL libraries/headers are no longer supported. SSL ports maintainers should create softlinks in the main openssl directory if necessary. * Added --with-ssl option to specify SSL directory. * Added setgid (-g) option. (Special thanks to Brian Hatch for his feedback and support) * Added pty.c based on a Public Domain code by Tatu Ylonen * Distribution files are now signed with GnuPG Version 3.7, 2000.02.10: * /usr/pkg added to list of possible SSL directories for pkgsrc installs of OpenSSL under NetBSD. * Added the -s option, which setuid()s to the specified user when running in daemon mode. Useful for cyrus imapd. (both based on patch by George Coulouris) * PTY code ported to Solaris. The port needs some more testing. * Added handler for SIGINT. * Added --with-random option to ./configure script. * Fixed some problems with autoconfiguration on Solaris and others.

Some compatibility fixes for Solaris and NetBSD added. 3.2 1999.04.28 RSAref support (not tested). Added full duplex with non-blocking sockets. RST sent instead of FIN on peer error (on error peer socket is reset - not just closed). RSA temporary key length changed back to 512 bits to fix problem with Netscape. Added NO_RSA for US citizens having problems with patents. 3.1 1999.04.22 Changed -l syntax (first argument specified is now argv[0]). Fixed problem with options passed to locally executed daemon.
