v0.996
        - removed links and comments to inofficial release of
          Net::SSLeay, because there is a newer version already
v0.995
        - add support for Diffie Hellman Key Exchange.
          See parameter SSL_dh_file and SSL_dh.
v0.994
        - hide DEBUG statements and remove test to load Debug.pm
          because packets like Spamassisin cannot cope with it
          (at least the OpenBSD port)
v0.993
        - added SSL_cert and SSL_key parameter which do not take
          a file name like SSL_cert_file and SSL_key_file but
          an internal X509* resp. EVP_PKEY* value. Useful for
          dynamically created certificates and keys.
        - added test for sysread/syswrite behavior (which was changed
          in v0.991)
v0.992
        - _set_rw_error does $!||=EAGAIN only if error is one of 
          SSL_WANT_READ|SSL_WANT_WRITE (patch from Mike Smith 
          <mike at mailchannels dot com>)
        - Fix Makefile.PL to allow detectection of failures in PREREQ_PM
          (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20563, patch 
          by alexchorny at gmail dot com)
v0.991
        - sysread and syswrite ar no longer the same as read and write,
          but can return already if only parts of the data are read
          or written (which is the usual semantic for sysread and syswrite)
          This should fix problems with HTTP::Daemon::SSL
v0.99
        - just upgrade Version number because I've screwed up upload
	  of v0.98 to cpan
v0.98
	- Maintainer changed to <Steffen_Ullrich at genua dot de>
	- Better support for nonblocking sockets:
	  . exports $SSL_ERROR which contains the latest error from
	    the openssl library. Exports constants SSL_WANT_READ and
	    SSL_WANT_WRITE es special errors which will be set if
	    openssl wants to write or read during nonblocking connects,
	    accepts, reads or writes.
	  . accept,accept_SSL,connect and connect_SSL don't block
	    anymore if the socket is nonblocking.
	    Instead $! will be set from the underlying IO::Socket::INET
	    connect or accept if it failed there (usually EAGAIN or 
	    EINPROGRESS) or if the underlying openssl needs to read or
	    write $! will be set to EAGAIN and $SSL_ERROR will be set
	    to SSL_WANT_READ or SSL_WANT_WRITE
	  . syswrite returns undef and sets $!,$SSL_ERROR if it fails 
	    to write instead of returning 0.
	- Bugfixes (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=Bugid)
	  . Bug 18439: fileno 0 should be valid
	  . Bug 15001: sysread interpretes buffer "0" as ""
	- peer_certifcate returns X509 struct string if no field
	  for extraction was specified 
	- get_peer_certificate returns the certificate instead of the
	  IO::Socket::SSL object
	
   
v0.97
	- Writes now correctly return errors.  (Problem noted by
	  Dominique Quatravaux <dom at idealx.com>).
	- CA paths now work without passing an empty SSL_ca_file
	  argument.  (Problem found by Phil Pennock, <phil.pennock
	  at globnix.org>).
	- IO::Socket::SSL now automatically passes Proto => tcp (if
	  not already specified) to IO::Socket::INET to work around
	  /etc/services files with udp entries listed first.  (Fix
	  suggested by Phil Pennock).
	- $socket->accept() now returns the peer address in array
	  context for better conformance with IO::Socket::INET.
	  However, if you were doing "map { $_->accept } (@sockets)",
	  or similar tricks, you will need to use "scalar" to get the
	  old behavior back.  (Problem noted by Nils Sowen, <n.sowen
	  at kon.de>).
	- IO::Socket::SSL should now properly block on reads larger
	  than the buffer size of Net::SSLeay.  (Problem found by Eric
	  Jergensen, <eric at dvns.com>).
	- IO::Socket::SSL should now send CA Certs (if necessary)
	  along with certificates.  (Problem found by <roy at
	  momentous.ca>).
	- Timeouts should now work, but be aware that if multiple
	  reads/writes are necessary to complete a connection, then
	  each one may have a separate timeout.  (Request from
	  Dominique Quatravaux <dom at idealx.com>).
	- In certain cases, start_SSL() would misplace a socket's
	  fileno, causing problems with starting SSL.  This should now
	  be fixed.  (Problem found by <russ at zerotech.net>).
	- IO::Socket::SSL now requires a minimum of Net::SSLeay 1.21.

--- Old Versions --------------------------------------------------

v0.96  2004.4.30
	- Makefile's error messages now correct if output is
	  redirected (patch from Ilya Zakharevich <ilya at
	  math.berkeley.edu>).
	- Non-blocking connects/accepts now work (Problem found by
	  Uri Guttman <uri at stemsystems.com>).
	- new_from_fd() now works.
	- getline() and <> in scalar context now return undef
	  instead of '' if the read failed.  (Problem found by
	  Christian Gilmore <cag at us.ibm.com>).
	- Broken pipe signals are now ignored during socket close
	  to prevent a SSL shutdown message from killing the parent
	  program.  (Problem found by Christian Gilmore).
	- Tests should proceed much more quickly, and a semi-race was
	  fixed, meaning that on slow machines the tests should be
	  more reliable.
	- Check for Scalar::Util and Weakref now uses default
	  $SIG{__DIE__} instead of a potentially user-altered one
	  (suggestion from Olaf Schneider <Olaf.Schneider at
	  iwr.fzk.de>).  This only applies to Perl 5.6.0 & above.
	- Session caching support (patch from Marko Asplund
	  <marko.asplund at kronodoc.fi>).
	- set_default_context() added to alter the behavior of
	  modules that use IO::Socket::SSL from the main program.
	- get_ssl_object() renamed to _get_ssl_object() to reflect
	  the fact that it's only supposed to be used internally
	  (not that you should have cared, of course).
	- Added patch for Net::SSLeay to take advantage of
	  client-side session caching.

v0.95  2003.8.25
	- Changed PeerAddr in example/ssl_client.pl back to localhost.
	- Update of examples to automatically switch to the proper
	  directory if they cannot find the necessary SSL certificates.
	- Minor documentation update with more INET6 info.
	- Corrected some error messages for IO::Socket::INET6.
	- Better opened() behavior when sockets close unexpectedly.
	- Added note about random number generators for Solaris users
	  (Problem found by Christian Gilmore <cag at us.ibm.com>).
	- Added support for WeakRef and Scalar::Util to allow
	  IO::Socket::SSL objects to auto-destroy themselves when 
	  they go out of scope.
	- Added croak()ing for unimplemented send() and recv() methods
	  so they are not accidentally used to transmit unencrypted
	  data.  The Perl builtin functions cannot be reliably trapped
	  and are still dangerous, a fact that the POD now reflects
	  (Problem noted by Michal Ludvig <michal at logix.cx>).

v0.94  2003.6.26
	- Changed accept() to use inherited accept() instead of
	  IO::Socket::accept, so that IPv6 inheritance is possible.
	- Added options to import() so that a user could specify
	  IPv6 or IPv4 mode of operation.
	- Documentation fixes, esp. e-mail address.

v0.93  2003.6.24
	- Fixed error-checking slip in connect_SSL() (Problem found by
	  Uri Guttman <uri at stemsystems.com>).
	- All functions now return the empty list () on errors.
	- Added note about the above change to appease Graham Barr
	  <gbarr at pobox.com>.
	- Fixed Net::SSLeay giving warnings when arguments are undef;
	  in all cases, undef arguments may be set to '' without any
	  change in behavior except for removing the warnings.
	  (Problem found by Dominique Quatravaux <dom at idealx.com>)
	- If accept() or connect() fails in SSL negotiation, the user
	  now has the option to print something to the failed socket
	  before it is closed.  (error_trap option in new())
	- Added support for CRLs (SSL_check_crl option in new()) for
	  versions of OpenSSL >= 0.9.7b (Original patch from
	  Brian Lindauer <jbl at sysd.com>)
	- Finally added decent support for certificate callbacks.
	  (SSL_verify_callback option in new(), suggestion from
	  Dariush Pietrzak <eyck at ghost.anime.pl>).
	- accept()/connect()/socket_to_SSL() now fail immediately if
	  the socket in question does not have a fileno.
	- Added the kill_socket() method to guarantee that a socket dies.
	- Fixed extra warning when printing errors in debug mode.
	- Deprecated socket_to_SSL() in favor of the class method
	  start_SSL() (Class method suggestion from Graham Barr
	  <gbarr at pobox.com>).
	- Added the class method start_SSL() to allow for cases when
	  the desired class of the socket is not IO::Socket::SSL
	  (Request from Dariush Pietrzak <eyck at ghost.anime.pl>)
	- Changed socket_to_SSL to rebless socket to original class
	  if SSL negotiation failed (Request from Graham Barr
	  <gbarr at pobox.com>)
	- Removed the daemon.pl example, as it did not work with the
	  standard distribution of HTTP::Daemon (use HTTP::Daemon::SSL
	  instead).

v0.92   2002.10.22
	- Changed the fileno() function to support returning the fileno
	  of server sockets.  (Problem found by Roland Giersig
	  <RGiersig at cpan.org>).
	- Fixed SSL_version incorrectly defaulting to SSLv2 (patch from
	  Roland Alder <roland.alder at celeris.ch>).

v0.91   2002.08.31
	- Added support for SSL_peek and SSL_pending (peek() and
	  pending()).  Updated documentation, tests, etc. to reflect
	  this.

v0.901  2002.08.19
	- Fixed the warning that happens when sockets are not explicitly
	  closed() before the program terminates.


v0.90   2002.08.13
	- This version is a complete rewrite of IO::Socket::SSL.  It now
	  has about half the lines of code, twice the amount of documentation,
	  and a slightly more polished interface.
	- IO::Socket::SSL now works properly with mod_perl and taint mode.
	- Major documentation update.
	- Update of the BUGS file to reflect changes made in the rewrite.
	- Update of the test suite for Perl v5.8.0 (or, more precisely,
	  for Scalar::Util).
	- Update of the test suite for Perl v5.00503 (or, more precisely,
	  for the lack of several nice features added in v5.6.0) (Marko
	  Asplund <aspa at kronodoc.fi>).
	- New test suite that does not need the Internet to function.
	- Update of all the files in example/ to use more current features
	  of IO::Socket::SSL.
	- Removal of SSL_SSL and X509_Certificate classes.
	- There have been a few name changes (like socketToSSL ->
	  socket_to_SSL) for better consistency.
	- The functionality of get_peer_certificate() and friends is deprecated.
	- The functionality of want_write() and want_read() is deprecated.
	- The functionality of context_init() is deprecated for normal use.
	- Support for all SSL context options in the new() call.
	- SSL contexts are no longer global.  The SSL_reuse_ctx option
	  is provided for those who want to re-use a context.
	- The default verify mode is now VERIFY_NONE.
	- IO::Socket::SSL::DEBUG is now linked to Net::SSLeay::trace to
	  provide different levels of debugging information.
	- There is a uniform interface for error reporting, so on error
	  all functions will return undef and the error will be available
	  by calling errstr().
	- The dump_peer_certificate() and peer_certificate() functions
	  have been added.
	- sysread() will now behave correctly if the offset argument is
	  greater than the length of the read buffer.  It also will truncate
	  the read buffer properly, according to the Perl documentation for
	  sysread().
	- getline(), getlines(), and getc() have been added.
	- syswrite() now uses references to avoid copying large	amounts of data.
	- readline() uses ssl_read_all in array context for improved speed.
	- close() now uses SSL_shutdown() to properly close an SSL connection,
	  unless you tell it not to.
	- If you have Net::SSLeay version 1.18 or greater, X509 certificates
	  will be properly freed.
	- All other known bugs have been fixed.

	  include: 'sslv2', 'sslv3', 'sslv23'. Stephen C. Koehler
	  <koehler at securecomputing.com>.
	- enable selecting SSL version for connections. patch from
	  Takanori Ugai <ugai at jp.fujitsu.com>.
