Worked on the openssl/openssl repository to enhance documentation accuracy for CRL and REVOKED extension handling in X509v3, aiming to reduce user confusion and support overhead. Updated Perl-based documentation to clarify that X509_CRL_delete_ext() and X509_REVOKED_add_ext() utilize X509v3_delete_extension(), not X509v3_delete_ext(), aligning the documentation with recent code changes. The updates included revisions to the X509v3_get_ext_by_NID.pod man page, ensuring consistency between implementation and reference materials. This work, focused on cryptography and technical writing, went through the standard pull request workflow with peer reviews and was merged, improving guidance for developers integrating certificate revocation features.
2026-04 monthly summary for openssl/openssl focused on improving documentation accuracy for CRL/REVOKED extension handling in X509v3 to reduce user ambiguity and support overhead. Specifically updated documentation to reflect that X509_CRL_delete_ext() and X509_REVOKED_add_ext() rely on X509v3_delete_extension() rather than X509v3_delete_ext(), aligning with related code changes in PRs #30350 and #30518. Included updates to the man page reference (doc: X509v3_get_ext_by_NID.pod) and ensured documentation parity with implementation. The work went through the standard PR workflow with a trivial CLA and peer reviews, and was merged on 2026-04-22. This contributes to clearer guidance for developers integrating CRL/REVOKED handling and reduces potential integration and support issues.
