Easy-RSA 3 ChangeLog

3.1.6 (2023-10-13)
   * Expose serial-check, display-dn, display-san and default-san to
     command line. (#980) (Debugging functions, which remain undocumented)
   * Expand default status to include vars-file and CA status (#973)
   * sign-req: Allow the CSR DN-field order to be preserved (#970)

3.1.5 (2023-06-10)
   * Build Update: script now supports signing and verifying
   * Automate support-file creation (Free packaging) (#964)
   * build-ca: New command option 'raw-ca', abbrevation: 'raw' (#963)

     This 'raw' method, is the most reliable way to build a CA,
     with a password, without writing the CA password to a temp-file.

   This option completely replaces both methods below:

   * build-ca: New option --ca-via-stdin, use SSL -pass* argument 'stdin' (#959)
     Option '--ca-via-stdin' offers no more security than standard method.
     Easy-RSA version 3.1.4 ONLY.

   * build-ca: Replace password temp-files with file-descriptors (#955)
     Using file-descriptors does not work in Windows.
     Easy-RSA version 3.1.3 ONLY.

3.1.4 (2023-05-23)
   * build-ca: New option --ca-via-stdin, use SSL -pass* argument 'stdin' (#959)
   * build-ca: Revert manual CA password method to temp-files (#959)
     Supersedes #955

     Release v3.1.3 was fatally flawed, it would fail to build a CA under Windows.
     Release v3.1.4 is specifically a bugfix ONLY, to resolve the Windows problem.

     See the following commits for further details:

     27870d695a324e278854146afdac5d6bdade9bba
