Hi, The most recent version of commons-crypto (1.2.0, released January 2023<https://github.com/apache/commons-crypto/releases/tag/rel%2Fcommons-crypto-1.2.0>) supports up to OpenSSL 1.1.x. I see in the unreleased changelog that OpenSSL 3.x is supported on the main branch<https://github.com/apache/commons-crypto/blob/6ae5a4dafec2f8df0b95c8e89a4e5fefd8206b04/src/changes/changes.xml#L112> (there’s also the recent OpenSsl30XNativeJna.java<https://github.com/apache/commons-crypto/blob/6ae5a4dafec2f8df0b95c8e89a4e5fefd8206b04/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/crypto/jna/OpenSsl30XNativeJna.java>, so looks like it’s now supported).
For context, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS goes end-of-life in a couple of months, at the end of April 2025<https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#:~:text=Apr%202034-,20.04%20LTS%20(Focal%20Fossa),May%202025,-Apr%202030>. The next Ubuntu LTS (22.04) starts using OpenSSL 3.x<https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/libssl3>. We need to update all our services/products to use 22.04 before this date, but we rely on commons-crypto for significant performance gains in many of them, so can’t start migration for a subset of our products before a new commons-crypto release supporting OpenSSL 3.x occurs. Would it be possible to perform a release for commons-crypto? If it’s already scheduled, is there any chance an estimated timeline for the release could be shared? Many thanks for maintaining commons-crypto amongst the other Apache Commons projects we use, Callum Rogers
