June 2026 monthly summary for curl/curl focusing on PQC (post-quantum cryptography) integration work and WolfSSL TLS backend improvements. Delivered targeted compatibility fixes and refactors to improve PQC key exchanges, alignment with the OpenSSL backend, and robust handling of QUIC-related key shares. These efforts reduce maintenance burden, improve interoperability with PQC-enabled deployments, and enable smoother QUIC workflows for clients.

May 2026 monthly summary for wolfSSL/wolfssl: Focused on delivering interoperable PQC capabilities, tightening security, and improving CI reliability. Key work spanned Wconversion enhancements, RFC 9802 X.509 verification integration, API modernization for ML-DSA, TLSX refinements, and broader stability improvements across SLH-DSA, TLS, and CI pipelines. The efforts improved business value by enabling RFC-compliant post-quantum verification, reducing handshake fragility, standardizing ML-DSA naming, and increasing release confidence through stronger test and CI processes.

April 2026 monthly summary for wolfSSL/wolfssl: Security hardening, post-quantum readiness, and CI efficiency improvements. Key deliverables include dynamic key allocation for post-quantum algorithms (Dilithium and ML-KEM), a certificate-layer migration from SPHINCS+ liboqs to SLH-DSA with RFC 9909-encoded DER support, and extensive PKCS#7 robustness work. CI refactoring shaved ~33 CI jobs and introduced Linux-focused testing to shorten feedback loops. A broad set of security fixes across cryptographic modules (bounds checks, endianness guards, TOCTOU fixes, and key validation) further reduce risk and improve robustness. These changes collectively enhance security posture, performance, and maintainability, while enabling smoother adoption of post-quantum algorithms and next-gen certificates.

March 2026 for wolfSSL/wolfssl focused on security hardening, standards alignment, and smoother deployment of PQC features. Key work spanned TLS/DTLS error handling, HRR group negotiation fixes, RFC8773bis support, PKCS#11 ML-KEM integration, and build-default improvements that enable ML-KEM by default. The month also included targeted memory/crypto hygiene fixes and enhanced test coverage to reduce regression risk, with a measurable uplift in production readiness and security posture.

February 2026 monthly summary for wolfSSL/wolfssl: Delivered significant cryptographic capability and quality improvements that enhance cross-platform portability and deployment in embedded environments. The work focused on ML-DSA operations in PKCS#11 with token offload, RNG-free API support, and coding standards/memory management enhancements. Key achievements were centered on delivering business value through crypto offloads, reduced RNG dependencies for constrained devices, and stronger code quality for long-term maintainability.

Overview for 2026-01: Delivered substantial security and reliability enhancements to wolfSSL, focusing on TLS stability, expanded cryptographic support, and improved build, test, and deployment pipelines. Key outcomes include bug fixes that reduce handshake memory leaks and ensure correct TLS 1.3 behavior, new Brainpool curve support for TLS 1.3 and authentication, broader PKCS#11 versioning with ECDSA verification, Zephyr OS memory tracking integration, and a hardened CI with expanded PQC test coverage and improved interop between CMake and autoconf. These changes collectively enhance performance, interoperability, and deployability across embedded and enterprise environments, delivering measurable business value in security, resilience, and time-to-market.
