OpenSSL v0.9.8r and v1.0.0d for Indy

Posted on by

Hi,

You can download precompiled versions of the new OpenSSL libaries from our official Indy Mirror (The Fulgan Mirror).

Direct Links for the x32 versions:
http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-0.9.8r-i386-win32.zip
http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.0d-i386-win32.zip

The 0.9.8 branch is only made available for compatibility reasons, if you have the choice take the newer 1.0 version. Both versions are supported by Indy, so it’s up to you.

You’ll find a “ReadMe”, License Information and File Hashes inside the zip archives. This version is including important bug and security fixes, using it is strongly recommended. The DLLs have no dependencies and are ready to use (ready for shipping with your application).

We include the OpenSSL.exe in the download, too. This file is not required for deployment of your own application, but it may be useful for handling certificates on your own during app development.

Regards,
Arvid

Hi,

today I am releasing the latest OpenSSL versions for Indy, 0.9.8q and 1.0.0c.

You can download precompiled versions of the new OpenSSL libaries from our official Indy Mirror (The Fulgan Mirror).

Direct Links for the x32 versions:
http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-0.9.8q-i386-win32.zip
http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.0c-i386-win32.zip

You’ll find a ReadMe, License Information and File Hashes inside the zip archives. This version is including important bug and security fixes, using it is strongly recommended. The x32 DLLs have no noteworthy dependencies and are ready to use (ready for shipping).

As JP Mugaas mentioned with an earlier release: We include the OpenSSL.exe in the download, too. Please see his comment in the previous release at http://blog.digivendo.com/2010/06/openssl-v0-9-8o-and-v1-0-0a-for-indy/.

P.S.: The 0.9.8 branch is only made available for compatibility reasons, if you have the choice take the newer 1.0 version. Both versions are supported by Indy, so it’s up to you.

Indy SVN Merge

Hello,

the Indy Tiburon Branch code has been merged into our SVN trunk. Remy Lebeau (TeamB) did a great job, and he previously wrote about in the Embarcadero Forum and in the Atozed Forum.

What does this mean for you?
If you are using an SVN client please update your location not to sync with the Tiburon Branch anymore, instead please use the trunk now.

If you are downloading from our Fulgan Mirror, please download the file named “Indy10_xxxx.zip”. “xxxx” is the nightly revision number, e.g. 4461 as of today. Files named “Indy10Tiburon_4448.zip” or something like that are NOT up-to-date and are likely to be removed within the next days or weeks, so please do not download them anymore.

If you want to get the Indy version shipped e.g. with Delphi XE, just download the tagged version from the SVN.

Does that mean the trunk provides “stable” releases?
Currently, there is nothing like stable releases. The development still continues and we always recommend updating Indy if you run into any troubles, especially with the small errors that made it into the shipping versions in Delphi 2009 (email attachment names lost) or 2010 (ftp binary settings lost).

Naming the file “Indy10_xxxx.zip” does not mean it’s a “stable release” (btw a term highly opened up to a lot of interpretation and space for discussions), it’s just that we managed to merge all the new code since D2009 into our old Indy 10 development trunk.

Cheers,
Arvid

OpenSSL v0.9.8o and v1.0.0a for Indy

Hello,

updated OpenSSL Versions available in the flavor of your choice ;)

As of today you can download precompiled versions of the newest OpenSSL libaries from our official Indy Mirror (The Fulgan Mirror).

As the OpenSSL team has published an update for the old 0.9.8 branch, we supply them too:

Direct Links:
http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-0.9.8o-i386-win32.zip
http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.0a-i386-win32.zip

As always: 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.

Note: This version needs the very latest Indy SVN (Revision #4168 and newer). This is due to changes in OpenSSL (i.e. removing deprecated MD2 by default).

As before the libraries have no noteworthy dependencies except for the Win64 versions which require the VC++ 2008 runtime libraries.

Cheers,
Arvid

Random News #1

Hi,

beside my post about OpenSSL updates, there has been no or little time to update this blog in the past month. There are some interesting OpenSource projects I had been involved.

Regarding my voluntary work with the Indy Project I am glad to announce that I was invited to join the Indy Mercury Team: Since Nov 2009 I am now part of Indy’s so called steering committee too (next to the Core Team where the development takes place).

In Addition my company became a Intel Software Partner and an Embarcadero Technology Partner.

Last but not least I had been working on other OpenSource projects too:

Now, in the next weeks I am going to blog especially about:

  • Some backports of UI behaviour for older Delphi Versions (like native Cursors and Hints/Tooltips)
  • Some tricky bugs I chased in Indy (topics will cover Winsock EADDRINUSE, IPv6 and Nagle)
  • A patch I committed for dxgettext: changing embedded translations behaviour from absolute file offsets to relative positions which allows using i.e. EXE compressors like UPX while still being able to attach embedded translations
  • A fork of David Polberger’s (and JEDI’s) JvLinkLabel I am currently creating
  • Probably the upcoming Delphi Tage 2010 in Berlin, Germany (national Delphi Days)

So stay tuned, more to come!

Cheers,
Arvid
