Month: 2026-05 — Summary focused on business value and technical achievements in the openssl/openssl repo. Delivered a targeted configuration cleanup by removing the unused crl_dir setting from CA_default and all related example/test configurations, updated the VMSify-conf.pl path conversion script, and regenerated openssl-vms.cnf. This reduces configuration noise, minimizes misconfigurations, and simplifies future maintenance. The work ties to Fixes #31103 and was completed through careful code review and standard contribution process (CLA): merged on 2026-06-03 with reviewer confirmation.
