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

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

Hello,
after one year of beta testing, the OpenSSL team published the final 1.0 version yesterday. As of today you can download a precompiled version of the OpenSSL libaries from our official Indy Mirror (The Fulgan Mirror).
Direct Link: openssl-1.0.0-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).
I would like to thank my previous readers, especially Salvor for pointing out a different way in building the libraries without the need for the MS VC++ Runtime DLLs while being able to use the latest VC++ compilers.
This release is built using MS VC++ 2008 and the Network Wide Assembler (NASM) instead of Mingw/gcc which allows us to create smaller DLLs and faster code now (sadly the VC++ 2010 build chain is still broken for OpenSSL 1.0).

Arvid

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.

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.
