So here is an update for everyone on where we are with the upcoming Core Updates. I would also like to remind you that we have a monthly telephone conference f= or further information that is a bit too much to be written down. So Core Update 119 is branched and ready to be uploaded into testing very soo= n. I did not merge OpenSSL into it because I thought that the update would a) get too large, b) is harder to test and c) we have some things in C119 already th= at should be released very very soon because of security reasons. So basically C119 updates the toolchain, GCC, glibc on all systems. It has so= me smaller bug fixes and improvements and that is about it. It is a maintenance = and housekeeping update, but that's kind of good that we have that isolated from = any new features. We should be able to ship this soon without much friction. I openend C120 and merged OpenSSL 1.1.0 into it. With that, we should now look at all applications that use OpenSSL and make sure that we get the best out of it. That means, that we should add all new ciphers that we can use now. We should update cipher suites where ever we ship pre-configured ones, etc. So please everyone review your patches that you have submitted, update them if necessary and post them (again) to this list within the next week. Again, I do not think that we should allow a long time to pass before this be= ing uploaded into testing. Best, -Michael --===============0680165453158821904==--
