Net-SSLeay-1.93_02


Perl bindings for OpenSSL and LibreSSL

Changes for 1.93_02 - 2023-02-22

  • Update ppport.h to version 3.68. This eliminates thousands of compound-token-split-by-macro compiler warnings when building Net-SSLeay with Clang 12 or greater. Partially fixes GH-383.
  • Silence compound-token-split-by-macro warnings when building Net-SSLeay with Clang 12 or greater. Fixes the remainder of GH-383.
  • When building Net-SSLeay, search for the openssl binary in the same directory in which Perl is installed (i.e. $Config{prefix}/bin/). Thanks to Henrik Grimler for the patch.
  • Expose EVP_PKEY_security_bits. Thanks to Felipe Gasper.
  • Major update to Gihub Actions configuration. Thanks to Felipe Gasper. New testing targets are:
  • Fix compilation failure using cl. Microsoft cl compiler do not like when preprocessor directives are inside a macro. Fixes GH-403. Thanks to Jean-Damien Durand.
  • Update CTX_use_PKCS12_file() and CTX_use_PKCS12_file() to use BIO functions for avoiding "no OPENSSL_Applink" runtime errors. Fixes GH-281 and RT#101638. Thanks to Jean-Damien Durand.
  • Add to README.Win32 more information about OPENSSL_Applink and how it may be needed with FILE pointers and POSIX/Unix fds. Recommended method is to avoid them and use OpenSSL BIO functions instead. Update SSLeay.pod with alternatives to Net::SSLeay::SESSION_print_fp(). Closes GH-411.
  • Refactor variable declarations in RSA_generate_key to allow SSLeay.xs to compile under -Werror=declaration-after-statement. Fixes GH-407. Thanks to dharanlinux for the report.
  • Fix memory leaks after calls to X509_get_ext_d2i. Thanks to Anton Borowka.
  • Documentation fix: Correct CRL revocation reasons in P_X509_CRL_add_revoked_serial_hex(). Closes GH-397. Reported by Marc Reisner.
  • Support stable releases of LibreSSL 3.5 and 3.6.
  • Update callback set by SSL_set_session_secret_cb to adjust master secret's length. This is needed with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and later that provide buffer that is now longer than 48 octets. Fix Net::SSLeay::get_keyblock_size() size calculation with AEAD ciphers. These functions were originally added to OpenSSL and Net::SSLeay for EAP-FAST. These changes allow EAP-FAST to work with AEAD ciphers and with OpenSSL versions 1.1.1 and later.
  • Remove code guarded by obsolete SSL_F_SSL_SET_HELLO_EXTENSION #ifdef. This was used by the initial EAP-FAST related OpenSSL patch which was never part of the OpenSSL distribution.
  • PEM_get_string_PrivateKey() currently uses DES-CBC as its default encryption algorithm. Test 33_x509_create_cert.t now skips testing the default algorithm on systems that support providers but don't have the legacy provider available. One such system is FreeBSD 13.0 with OpenSSL which was added as disabled in GitHub actions by PR GH-402 but can now be enabled. Long term fix is to replace DES-CBC with a modern cipher. Allows closing GH-394.

Six days later...

I used to get the impression many project developers would support Mastodon API foremost but now I'm inclined to see more projects implement ActivityPub C2S first and then everything else..

Nott a good look for Pennsylvania lawmakers

@RTP"Yes officer, here's my registration. I've got my ID right here in my bag. No, that there is my phone, my ID is in that bag. No sir, I would never install that app on my phone, so the government issued me one for my iD app - it's in that bag.
What? Oh. Yes. It's called a faraday bag. Here's my ID. Turn it on? I think the battery is dead, but feel free to charge it up, I'll just sit here on the side of the boulevard, pulled over by you, while you do that. No sir, I actually don't even own a charger for that ID.

Oh, okay..., sorry you don't have the time to put a charge on my ID, that I keep in my faraday bag, with the battery run down to zero, without a charger, and inconveniencing the dirty bolshevik government that can't track me as a result.

Apple 🍏 ??? No sir, I would never own one of those - they're full of worms!

Yes, you have a nice day too officer!"

#Friendica for the entire #Fediverse


#Friendica on your #Android, and #Linux, #Mac, or #Windows desktop - no messy browsers required!

@tallship@public.mitra.social:

## Relatica - the new desktop and mobile Fediverse client
Relatica is a new, refreshing, and promising cross platform #Friendica client in beta now.

#Relatica runs on #Android, #Linux, #Mac, and #Windows. It also has some welcome and ambitious goals on the roadmap:

Testers, packagers, and early adopters are wanted for the official beta program.

Relatica's developer is friendly, accessible, and responsive. The project enjoys an aggressive development cycle and has its own dedicated #Matrix support channel.

It's good to see a novel and dedicated effort to deliver a capable #desktop and mobile client that allows for #social engagement without a browser:

gitlab.com/mysocialportal/rela…

For those here that aren't aware already, Friendica is one of the earliest and yet most modern and feature rich #Fediverse platforms, #internetworking with other protocols that enables you to do things like directly interface with #Diaspora and even the deprecated legacy silo networks too.

#Friendica has a pluggable addon system and provides direct support for multiple text formats and even direct linking of images in posts.

There's really just too much to list. If you're wanting a feature complete platform for #publishing, #microblogging, #news, #RSS, social engagement and more then Relatica is definitely worth trying out!

If you're interested in trying out Relatica's ease of use and features then you'll need to have a user account on a Friendica server.

You can self-host or get yourself a free Friendica account here:

Friendi.ca

I hope that helps!

I can be reached on Matrix at:

@tallship:matrix.org

via XMPP at:

and in the Fediverse at:

Time to build another musical practice tool


It's Sunday and it's snowing big time out there. Time to build another musical practice tool. This time with metacpan.org/dist/Data-Dataset… and friends. #perl #music

MIDI-Perl Tabla drums


I finally found the tabla soundfont at gleitz.github.io/midi-js-sound… - So naturally I tried to imitate a tabla player! Here's the code: github.com/ology/Music/blob/ma… and here are the 1st couple runs, in decreasing order of schizophrenia: ology.net/tmp/tabla/tabla-01.m… & ology.net/tmp/tabla/tabla-02.m… & ology.net/tmp/tabla/tabla-03.m… - All are painfully feeble compared to real tabla payers! 😁 #music #perl


Bird's Mohawk in MIDI-Perl


Just finished up adding a bit more functionality to my MIDI bassline generator metacpan.org/dist/MIDI-Basslin… - It isn't the best bassist by a long shot. But here is a version of Bird's github.com/ology/Music/blob/ma… => ology.net/tmp/from-midi/mohawk… #perl #music
