The OpenSSL Management Committee (OMC) and the OpenSSL Technical Committee
(OTC) are glad to announce our first beta release of OpenSSL 3.0. We consider
this to be a release candidate and as such encourage all OpenSSL users to build
and test against this beta release and provide feedback.
QUIC is a new protocol which the IETF talks about as
A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport,
and has attracted a lot of attention lately. The OpenSSL Management
Committee (OMC) have followed the development with interest, and we feel that we
owe it to the community to say where we stand on this, and on the inclusion of
support for this protocol in our libraries.
We have previously talked about our plans for OpenSSL 3.0 and FIPS support
here. This blog
post will give an update about what has been happening since then.
At the Face to Face meeting held on the occasion of the ICMC19 Conference
in Vancouver, a novelty was introduced: For the last day of the meeting all
committers were invited to participate, either personally or remotely via video conference.
