OpenSSL 4.1.0

> Dropped Windows-on-Itanium (VC-WIN64I) and Windows CE (VC-CE) targets from Configurations.

What a throwback. afaik Windows Server 2008 R2 had Itanium updates until 2020 and paid support until this year. Pretty good run to say at least

I don't see "we fixed some of the the excessive performance regressions that we introduced in 3.0". Unfortunate...

I think it's too little too late, people have started moving on https://www.haproxy.com/blog/state-of-ssl-stacks

> Support for DTLS 1.3 (RFC 9147). Refer to the ossl-guide-dtlsv13(7) manual page for details.

DTLS 1.3 is a huge improvement over 1.2 for efficiency and simplicity. I can’t speak to the OpenSSL implementation but it’s great that support is finally released.

I think this is the only software project I use that still requires me to have perl

Interesting they're adding new support for DTLS 1.3 when afaict most new applications are defaulting to QUIC datagram mode. I have something built around DTLS 1.3 and am using wolfssl for that reason, will have to check this out.

Wait, OpenSSL didn't support GREASE until now? The RFC standard landed 6 years ago...

I've been linking a lot of stuff against boringssl during that time, I suppose...

I wonder what is the current marketshare of Libressl and OpenSSL ?

Mandatory reminder libressl[0] exists.

A sad day. End of an era *salute*
