Hi Nils ,

      Thanks for your guidance but I  kindly bring to your notice that
0.9.8-dev doesn't stands for 0.9.8d .It's the first version in 0.9.8 series
before 0.9.8a.that's why I asked for change log
because a lot of changes are made in latest version comapre to that old
version .For e.g
EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(int nid) ;       //Old OpenSSL version

EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(int nid) ;     //New OpenSSL Version

and in some data structures like EC_KEY structure's one data memeber
EC_METH_DATA is repalced by EC_EXTRA_DATA that I found by just comparing the
calls with latest OpneSSL.

The older version is not available on the openSSL site as it was unstable at
that time .

Regarding ECC curve 163k I exactly want to know the ECC parameters of curve.
According to you in new the nid will be 707 but in my it showing 721 .so
that's
why I want to compare parameter wise.

any guidance on this will be great help for me.As I have to make my code
compatible with latest version of OpenSSL.

Thanks,
Abhishek

0.9.8d has already been released

what about using 'diff' ;-) but as far as the ec code is concerned
not much has changed (well there are some big internal changes
between 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 but the ec api is mostly the same).

http://www.openssl.org/source/ or
http://www.openssl.org/source/repos.html

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/OpenSSL/head> fgrep -i 163k crypto/objects/obj_mac.h
#define SN_sect163k1            "sect163k1"
#define NID_sect163k1           707
#define OBJ_sect163k1           OBJ_secg_ellipticCurve,1L

note: the NID_* values are automatically generated from the object.txt
file (but normally these values are fixed once set)

Cheers,
Nils
