It has finally happened. Bob Beck of The OpenBSD Foundation has just announced that the first release of LibreSSL portable is now available, and can be found in the LibreSSL directory of your favourite OpenBSD mirror.

libressl-2.0.0.tar.gz has been tested to build on various versions of Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and FreeBSD.

This is intended to be an initial portable release of OpenBSD's libressl to allow the community to start using it and providing feedback, and has been done to address the issue of incorrect portable versions being attempted by third-parties. Support for additional platforms will be added as time and resources permit.

    Neat!

    That should mean that the API has an alright design?

    No, it still sucks. API compatibility is there to embrace OpenSSL. Then comes the time to extend it with a proper API. Finally OpenSSL will be extinguished and salt sown all over its lands.

      Wait ... you're not speaking about Microsoft, are you? :-)
