Hi, It depends on what you mean by compatible!
For example, 0.9.7 has a FIPS part that is not in 0.9.8 (for now). SHA-256 are part of openssl 0.9.8, whereas it is only in the FIPS module of 0.9.7. Also have a look at RSA structure change in 0.9.8 (ENGINE have changed too). You should have a look at the CHANGES file to see if "your code" is impacted by the changes. regards.

Is OpenSSL 0.9.8 compatible with 0.9.7 (i.e) will all the existing applications written for 0.9.7 will continue to work with 0.9.8 without any source code changes ? 2. Does 0.9.8 have all the functionality of 0.9.7 ? Your response to these questions will help me choose the appropriate version of OpenSSL Thanks, Prakash --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
