Hi,
I just prepared and published an updated precompiled version of the OpenSSL libraries. As always they are available on the official Indy Mirror, the Fulgan Mirror.
Direct Link: openssl-0.9.8m-i386-win32.zip
You’ll find a ReadMe, License Information and File Hashes inside the zip archive. This version is including important bug and security fixes, using it is strongly recommended.
Regards,
Arvid
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,

Hi,
we recently had a change to the Indy SVN server.
New locations are:
https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy9/
https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10/
https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10Demos/
The public user is now:
Username: Indy-Public-RO
(No password)
Note: The server uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Please trust it as it is needed to get access to the svn.
The usage of the svn moniker (svn://) is not supported anymore but the new server provides both SVN client and web access.
Please use your svn client’s relocation feature in order to move to the new location.
As always the current development is done in the Tiburon Branch (which will be merged at some later stage).
The official Fulgan Mirror is already updated to provide new daily snapshots again. For download instructions related to the mirror read the text at the bottom of this post: http://blog.digivendo.com/2008/09/where-to-get-the-current-indy-version/.
Sorry for inconvenience, but the new setup allows easier maintenance.
Cheers,
Arvid
