Good tools. Yours to keep.

Net.OpenSSL 0.1.3 is a development candidate providing general OpenSSL 3 TLS-over-TCP streams for BlitzMax-NG: verified clients, servers, mutual TLS and STARTTLS, integrated with BRL.Socket and BRL.Stream. Clients verify the certificate chain and DNS/IP identity; TLS 1.2 is the minimum.

One cross-platform ZIP contains the module source, examples, tests, documentation, build helpers and Windows x64 native dependencies. Extract openssl.mod into BlitzMax/mod/net.mod, then compile an application with Import Net.OpenSSL. Start with examples/client.bmx, examples/server.bmx and the accompanying walkthrough.

Windows x64 includes OpenSSL 3.5.8 headers, import libraries, DLLs, CLI, license and provenance. Use tools/deploy-windows.ps1 to place both DLLs beside the finished executable, and supply a maintained CA bundle. Linux uses its distribution OpenSSL 3 development/runtime packages. Other target routes and their dependency requirements are documented in PLATFORMS.md; only Windows/Linux x64 have runtime validation.

This replacement follows the simplified BlitzMax credit style: the copyright notice is in the main openssl.bmx source file. Repeated credit blocks and the separate credits document are removed. TLS behavior is unchanged.

The exact ZIP was extracted into separate Windows x64 and Linux x64 module installations. The driver and both examples compiled on each; all 30 TLS integration cases passed on each release build. See VALIDATION.md for earlier debug/release and sanitizer results, and README.md for limits including synchronous DNS and the absence of CRL/OCSP checking.

Module license: MIT. OpenSSL retains its Apache License 2.0 and original notices. Generated keys and legacy implementation files are excluded. The ZIP includes a per-file SHA-256 manifest.

Recovered C64 scene files credited to TN / The Ninja of Powerage. The archive page has the original release dates, full credits and CSDb source records. This date marks recovery, not the original releases. File bytes are unchanged; filenames are simplified. C64 emulator compatibility has not yet been tested.

Sub.LibSSL v1.1 — original BlitzMax module by Kay Arnesen / Sub_Zero. Historical software from the Subsoft Legacy Software archive.

The original libssl.mod.zip is preserved byte-for-byte, including module source, examples, original compiled artifacts and bundled Windows libraries. Original attribution and license notices are retained. The wrapper declares the MIT license; bundled dependencies retain their own notices.

This is an unsupported historical archive, not the new Net.OpenSSL module and not a current secure TLS implementation. The bundled headers identify OpenSSL 1.1.0e from 2017. No compatibility with current BlitzMax-NG is claimed. For current NG development, see the separate Net.OpenSSL release under BlitzMax Tools.

The original examples include a duplicated demo private key and matching self-signed certificate which expired on 5 July 2006, plus old demonstration trust stores. They are preserved as historical sample data and must never be reused as live credentials or trusted certificates. Do not use this archive for production TLS.

Original ZIP: 18,087,186 bytes. SHA-256: c402c7f205b33a47bd923a899bd2c526b7212acf6c0ad4e0184f712cef3d4ddd. No legacy binary was executed during archival verification.

Crypto.Blake3Digest 1.00 for BlitzMax-NG, using the official BLAKE3 1.8.7 implementation. Includes ordinary and keyed hashing, key derivation, incremental updates, and seekable extended output (XOF), integrated with Crypto.Digest.

CPU acceleration is selected at runtime on x86/x64. AArch64 has a NEON build path, and other architectures use portable C. Runtime validation covers Windows x64 and Linux x64; other targets need community validation. The module requires no external DLLs.

This source ZIP contains the module, example, full BLAKE3 vector tests, benchmark, documentation, and all bundled licenses. Extract blake3digest.mod into your BlitzMax mod/crypto.mod directory, then run bin/bmk makemods -a -r crypto.blake3digest (bin/bmk.exe on Windows). See README.md for API details and test commands.

Validation: 724,739 checks per standalone test run, plus the 20-test Crypto.Digest suite, passed on Windows x64 and Linux x64 in debug and release builds. Windows also passed the forced portable backend. The updated central digest test suite is available in the upstream contribution; this ZIP installs only blake3digest.mod.
