* EASYRSA_CA_EXTRA_EXTS: Created to avoid clash with EASYRSA_EXTRA_EXTS EASYRSA_CA_EXTRA_EXTS was an interim hack to avoid triggering a code injection buried deep inside easyrsa_openssl(), when building a CA. Fixed by Commit: 057be57825616199d125dfffbc5abfa9efaae792 Remove EASYRSA_CA_EXTRA_EXTS: Created by Commit: 6f138abb5b091fe7715fa7c8c6369d7704b6f177 The result is for all extra extensions to be subject to the same code. The CA no longer has to dodge the code injection. Signed-off-by: Richard T Bonhomme <tincantech@protonmail.com>

Branch structure
The easy-rsa master branch is currently tracking development for the 3.x release cycle. Please note that, at any given time, master may be broken. Feel free to create issues against master, but have patience when using the master branch. It is recommended to use a release, and priority will be given to bugs identified in the most recent release.
The prior 2.x and 1.x versions are available as release branches for tracking and possible back-porting of relevant fixes. Branch layout is:
master <- 3.x, at present
v3.x.x pre-release branches, used for staging branches
release/2.x
release/1.x
LICENSING info for 3.x is in the COPYING.md file
