<h1>1 public_key Release Notes</h1>
<h3><a name="id146856">1.1
Public_Key 0.12</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The public_key application now supports encode/decode of
ssh public-key files.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9144</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id151299">1.2
Public_Key 0.11</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Allows the public_key module to decode and encode RSA and
DSA keys encoded using the SubjectPublicKeyInfo format.
When pem_entry_encode is called on an RSA or DSA public
key type, the key is wrapped in the SubjectPublicKeyInfo
format.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9061</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id151330">1.3
Public_Key 0.10</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Improved dialyzer specs.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8964</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id146552">1.4
Public_Key 0.9</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Updated ssl to ignore CA certs that violate the asn1-spec
for a certificate, and updated public key asn1 spec to
handle inherited DSS-params.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-7884</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Changed ssl implementation to retain backwards
compatibility for old option {verify, 0} that shall be
equivalent to {verify, verify_none}, also separate the
cases unknown ca and selfsigned peer cert, and restored
return value of deprecated function
public_key:pem_to_der/1.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8858</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Better handling of v1 and v2 certificates. V1 and v2
certificates does not have any extensions so then
validate_extensions should just accept that there are
none and not end up in missing_basic_constraints clause.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8867</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Changed the verify fun so that it differentiate between
the peer certificate and CA certificates by using
valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the verify
fun. It may not always be trivial or even possible to
know when the peer certificate is reached otherwise.</p>
<p>
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8873</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id151483">1.5
Public_Key 0.8</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Handling of unknown CA certificates was changed in ssl
and public_key to work as intended.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8788</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Revise the public_key API - Cleaned up and documented the
public_key API to make it useful for general use, also
changed ssl to use the new API.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8722</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added the functionality so that the verification fun will
be called when a certificate is considered valid by the
path validation to allow access to each certificate in
the path to the user application. Also try to verify
subject-AltName, if unable to verify it let the
application verify it.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8825</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id150605">1.6
Public_Key 0.7</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Certificates without any extensions could not be handled
by public_key.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8626</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Code cleanup and minor bugfixes.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8649</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id150658">1.7
Public_Key 0.6</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Support for Diffie-Hellman. ssl-3.11 requires
public_key-0.6.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-7046</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Moved extended key usage test for ssl values to ssl.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8553 Aux Id: seq11541, OTP-8554 </p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id152531">1.8
Public_Key 0.5</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Added <span class="code">public_key:pkix_transform/2</span> to enable
ssl to send CA list during Certificate Request.</p>
<p><span class="code">NOTE</span>: SSL (new_ssl) requires public_key-0.5.
ssl usage.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-8372</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id152570">1.9
Public_Key 0.4</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One
visible change is that the frames are removed.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8250</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id152600">1.10
Public_Key 0.3</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>

<p>
Own Id: OTP-8100</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>

argument in addition to a filename. Patch by Geoff Cant,
thanks.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8142</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id153937">1.11
Public_Key 0.2</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
X509 certificate handling has been extended and improved
as a result of more extensive testing of both the ssl
and public_key application. Even more extensions of the
certificate handling is yet to be implemented.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-7860</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id153968">1.12
Public_Key 0.1</a></h3>
