Hiawatha 7.5 has been released

30 May 2011, 20:05

This release holds small improvements and some small bug fixes. Nothing big.

A week ago, a former colleague of mine sent me an e-mail asking about Hiawatha. He happens to be the author of the PolarSSL library. We talked about Hiawatha and PolarSSL and I decided to see if I can replace OpenSSL in Hiawatha with PolarSSL. I'm not a big fan of OpenSSL because of it's horrible code and incomplete documentation, so any replacement is welcome. I just haven't found a suitable replacement yet. I will give PolarSSL a try and see if it has all the functionality I need for Hiawatha.

Great news. Maybe that will allow you to implement different certificates per domain easier.

At the moment, OpenSSL is used. On most systems, OpenSSL is available as a shared library. In case of PolarSSL, the source will be delivered with Hiawatha. In both cases, you only have to do a compile as usual. Nothing will change.

Did you hear about matrixssl? I'm curious about your opinion on matrixssl. Regards.

I'm sure MatrixSSL is a fine library, but based on a quick look I took at MatrixSSL, I think PolarSSL is more complete.
