Hi,
I recently had a talk with JP Mugaas about whether we should include FIPS support of OpenSSL in Indy and to what extend this will be useful for our users (especially those in the United States).
We agreed that many users would benefit from the possibility to write FIPS compliant applications. However as you know providing support for it can only be part of your certification process. On the other hand: Even if you or your company don’t decide to get a certification on your own it would be still an advantage to be able to write at least FIPS compliant applications.
What do you think about? Would that be of interest to you?
Feel free to add your comments about. Currently we are only planning…

Hi,
I just published an updated pre-compiled version of the OpenSSL libraries. They are available at the Fulgan Mirror.
Direct Link: openssl-0.9.8l-i386-win32.zip
You’ll find the ReadMe, License Information and File Hashes inside the zip.
This release takes care of the discovered TLS re-negotiation issue (currently by disabling re-negotiation). If you run into troubles be sure to check the OpenSSL page for hints too. It is recommended to use this version immediately.

Hi,
typically I am not blogging here about any non Development related things. Well there’s something that needs to be spread this way now:
The famous and well-known Delphi Developer Chad “Kudzu” Hower has been arrested in Bulgaria on False Charges. Yes, Kudzu – the one behind Atozed and IntraWeb, the great supporter of Indy. Bob Swart already twittered about some hours ago.
So Kudzu needs our all help! See his page about the whole story behind and what you can do to help.
Edit: Thanks to the one marking this post off-topic at DelphiFeeds. Gee, good catch! As if I didn’t mention it… And no, I won’t comment on comments posted anonymously with disposable mail accounts 
Update:
Beside the very complete information Chad gives at his blog (mentioned above) you can read about in the news as well:
GoErie (Erie Times Online)
USA Today
You can actually support him by recommending the USA Today Quote (no registration needed) – so the whole thing gets more attention.
Cheers,
