Changelog

Versions are year-based with a strict backward-compatibility policy. The third digit is only for regressions.

20.0.0 (UNRELEASED)

Backward-incompatible changes:

  • The minimum cryptography version is now 3.2.
  • Remove deprecated OpenSSL.tsafe module.
  • Removed deprecated OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_advertise_callback, OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_select_callback, and OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_next_proto_negotiated.
  • Drop support for Python 3.4
  • Drop support for OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2

Deprecations:

  • Deprecated OpenSSL.crypto.loads_pkcs7 and OpenSSL.crypto.loads_pkcs12.

Changes:

  • Added a new optional chain parameter to OpenSSL.crypto.X509StoreContext() where additional untrusted certificates can be specified to help chain building. #948
  • Added OpenSSL.crypto.X509Store.load_locations to set trusted certificate file bundles and/or directories for verification. #943
  • Added Context.set_keylog_callback to log key material. #910
  • Added OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_verified_chain to retrieve the verified certificate chain of the peer. #894.
  • Make verification callback optional in Context.set_verify. If omitted, OpenSSL's default verification is used. #933
  • Fixed a bug that could truncate or cause a zero-length key error due to a null byte in private key passphrase in OpenSSL.crypto.load_privatekey and OpenSSL.crypto.dump_privatekey. #947

19.1.0 (2019-11-18)

Backward-incompatible changes:

  • Removed deprecated ContextType, ConnectionType, PKeyType, X509NameType, X509ReqType, X509Type, X509StoreType, CRLType, PKCS7Type, PKCS12Type, and NetscapeSPKIType aliases. Use the classes without the Type suffix instead. #814
  • The minimum cryptography version is now 2.8 due to issues on macOS with a transitive dependency. #875

Deprecations:

  • Deprecated OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_advertise_callback, OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_select_callback, and OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_next_proto_negotiated. ALPN should be used instead. #820

Changes:

  • Support bytearray in SSL.Connection.send() by using cffi's from_buffer. #852
  • The OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_alpn_select_callback can return a new NO_OVERLAPPING_PROTOCOLS sentinel value to allow a TLS handshake to complete without an application protocol.

19.0.0 (2019-01-21)

Backward-incompatible changes:

  • X509Store.add_cert no longer raises an error if you add a duplicate cert. #787

  • The minimum cryptography version is now 2.2.1.
  • Support for Python 2.6 has been dropped.

Deprecations:

none

Changes:

17.4.0 (2017-11-21)

Backward-incompatible changes:

none

Deprecations:

none

Changes:

  • Re-added a subset of the OpenSSL.rand module. This subset allows conscientious users to reseed the OpenSSL CSPRNG after fork. #708
  • Corrected a use-after-free when reusing an issuer or subject from an X509 object after the underlying object has been mutated. #709

17.3.0 (2017-09-14)

Backward-incompatible changes:

  • Dropped support for Python 3.3. #677
  • Removed the deprecated OpenSSL.rand module. This is being done ahead of our normal deprecation schedule due to its lack of use and the fact that it was becoming a maintenance burden. os.urandom() should be used instead. #675

Deprecations:

  • Deprecated OpenSSL.tsafe. #673

Changes:

  • Fixed a memory leak in OpenSSL.crypto.CRL. #690
  • Fixed a memory leak when verifying certificates with OpenSSL.crypto.X509StoreContext. #691

17.2.0 (2017-07-20)

Backward-incompatible changes:

none

Deprecations:

  • Deprecated OpenSSL.rand - callers should use os.urandom() instead. #658

Changes:

  • Fixed a bug causing Context.set_default_verify_paths() to not work with cryptography manylinux1 wheels on Python 3.x. #665
  • Fixed a crash with (EC)DSA signatures in some cases. #670

17.1.0 (2017-06-30)

Backward-incompatible changes:

  • Removed the deprecated OpenSSL.rand.egd() function. Applications should prefer os.urandom() for random number generation. #630
  • Removed the deprecated default digest argument to OpenSSL.crypto.CRL.export(). Callers must now always pass an explicit digest. #652
  • Fixed a bug with ASN1_TIME casting in X509.set_notBefore(), X509.set_notAfter(), Revoked.set_rev_date(), Revoked.set_nextUpdate(), and Revoked.set_lastUpdate(). You must now pass times in the form YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ. YYYYMMDDhhmmss+hhmm and YYYYMMDDhhmmss-hhmm will no longer work. #612

Deprecations:

  • Deprecated the legacy "Type" aliases: ContextType, ConnectionType, PKeyType, X509NameType, X509ExtensionType, X509ReqType, X509Type, X509StoreType, CRLType, PKCS7Type, PKCS12Type, NetscapeSPKIType. The names without the "Type"-suffix should be used instead.

Changes:

  • Added OpenSSL.crypto.X509.from_cryptography() and OpenSSL.crypto.X509.to_cryptography() for converting X.509 certificate to and from pyca/cryptography objects. #640
  • Added OpenSSL.crypto.X509Req.from_cryptography(), OpenSSL.crypto.X509Req.to_cryptography(), OpenSSL.crypto.CRL.from_cryptography(), and OpenSSL.crypto.CRL.to_cryptography() for converting X.509 CSRs and CRLs to and from pyca/cryptography objects. #645
  • Added OpenSSL.debug that allows to get an overview of used library versions (including linked OpenSSL) and other useful runtime information using python -m OpenSSL.debug. #620
  • Added a fallback path to Context.set_default_verify_paths() to accommodate the upcoming release of cryptography manylinux1 wheels. #633

17.0.0 (2017-04-20)

Backward-incompatible changes:

none

Deprecations:

none

Changes:

  • Added OpenSSL.X509Store.set_time() to set a custom verification time when verifying certificate chains. #567
  • Added a collection of functions for working with OCSP stapling. None of these functions make it possible to validate OCSP assertions, only to staple them into the handshake and to retrieve the stapled assertion if provided. Users will need to write their own code to handle OCSP assertions. We specifically added: Context.set_ocsp_server_callback(), Context.set_ocsp_client_callback(), and Connection.request_ocsp(). #580
  • Changed the SSL module's memory allocation policy to avoid zeroing memory it allocates when unnecessary. This reduces CPU usage and memory allocation time by an amount proportional to the size of the allocation. For applications that process a lot of TLS data or that use very lage allocations this can provide considerable performance improvements. #578
  • Automatically set SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto() on OpenSSL.SSL.Context. #575
  • Fix empty exceptions from OpenSSL.crypto.load_privatekey(). #581

16.2.0 (2016-10-15)

Backward-incompatible changes:

none

Deprecations:

none

Changes:

  • Fixed compatibility errors with OpenSSL 1.1.0.
  • Fixed an issue that caused failures with subinterpreters and embedded Pythons. #552

16.1.0 (2016-08-26)

Backward-incompatible changes:

none

Deprecations:

  • Dropped support for OpenSSL 0.9.8.

Changes:

  • Fix memory leak in OpenSSL.crypto.dump_privatekey() with FILETYPE_TEXT. #496
  • Enable use of CRL (and more) in verify context. #483
  • OpenSSL.crypto.PKey can now be constructed from cryptography objects and also exported as such. #439
  • Support newer versions of cryptography which use opaque structs for OpenSSL 1.1.0 compatibility.

16.0.0 (2016-03-19)

This is the first release under full stewardship of PyCA. We have made many changes to make local development more pleasing. The test suite now passes both on Linux and OS X with OpenSSL 0.9.8, 1.0.1, and 1.0.2. It has been moved to pytest, all CI test runs are part of tox and the source code has been made fully flake8 compliant.

We hope to have lowered the barrier for contributions significantly but are open to hear about any remaining frustrations.

Backward-incompatible changes:

  • Python 3.2 support has been dropped. It never had significant real world usage and has been dropped by our main dependency cryptography. Affected users should upgrade to Python 3.3 or later.

Deprecations:

  • The support for EGD has been removed. The only affected function OpenSSL.rand.egd() now uses os.urandom() to seed the internal PRNG instead. Please see pyca/cryptography#1636 for more background information on this decision. In accordance with our backward compatibility policy OpenSSL.rand.egd() will be removed no sooner than a year from the release of 16.0.0.

    Please note that you should use urandom for all your secure random number needs.

  • Python 2.6 support has been deprecated. Our main dependency cryptography deprecated 2.6 in version 0.9 (2015-05-14) with no time table for actually dropping it. pyOpenSSL will drop Python 2.6 support once cryptography does.

Changes:

  • Fixed OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_session_id, OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.renegotiate, OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.renegotiate_pending, and OpenSSL.SSL.Context.load_client_ca. They were lacking an implementation since 0.14. #422
  • Fixed segmentation fault when using keys larger than 4096-bit to sign data. #428
  • Fixed AttributeError when OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_app_data() was called before setting any app data. #304
  • Added OpenSSL.crypto.dump_publickey() to dump OpenSSL.crypto.PKey objects that represent public keys, and OpenSSL.crypto.load_publickey() to load such objects from serialized representations. #382
  • Added OpenSSL.crypto.dump_crl() to dump a certificate revocation list out to a string buffer. #368
  • Added OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_state_string() using the OpenSSL binding state_string_long. #358
  • Added support for the socket.MSG_PEEK flag to OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.recv() and OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.recv_into(). #294
  • Added OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_protocol_version() and OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_protocol_version_name(). #244
  • Switched to utf8string mask by default. OpenSSL formerly defaulted to a T61String if there were UTF-8 characters present. This was changed to default to UTF8String in the config around 2005, but the actual code didn't change it until late last year. This will default us to the setting that actually works. To revert this you can call OpenSSL.crypto._lib.ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask_asc(b"default"). #234
