Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly highlights for openssl/openssl focusing on security hardening and reliability improvements. Delivered a feature to strictly enforce SSLKEYLOGFILE permissions (0600) and introduced a POSIX-friendly get_sslkeylog_bio helper, plus unit tests validating Linux permissions. Improved the robustness of OpenSSL binary discovery for c_rehash by ensuring the executable exists and is executable and by refining PATH-based lookups to handle subdirectories.
