But many other people have contributed to OpenSC as well, see the team.
On 2010-02-16 OpenCT 0.6.20 and OpenSC 0.11.13 were released, both with small fixes for the Rutoken S driver and other small bugfixes.
On 2010-01-07 OpenCT 0.6.19 was released with improved udev rules
to help the transition back from hal to udev. Engine_PKCS#11
0.1.8 was released with a fix for finding certificates and keys.
On 2009-12-18 OpenSC 0.11.12 was released with a fix for a regression in OpenSC 0.11.5 and later, that made some cards initialized with older versions of OpenSC no longer work with newer versions.
On 2009-10-26 OpenSC 0.11.11 was released with updates for "myeid" driver and fixing compile issues with OpenSSL 0.9.7 and 1.0.0.
On 2009-10-20 OpenSC 0.11.10 was released with a new driver "westcos" and support for MyEid cards by Aventra (currently limited to using cards initialized with Aventras software). Rutoken driver was extended to include GOST algorithm support.
For both libp11 and engine_pkcs11 a patch fixing a small bug was posted. Since no other development happens with these packages, new releases were created on 2009-10-20 to push the bugfixes to the users.
On 2009-09-25 OpenCT 0.6.18 was released with support for Rutoken S, fixes for usb on BSD systems and fixes for combining OpenCT with pcsc-lite.
On 2009-07-29 new versions of OpenSC and OpenCT were released, mostly with several smaller bug fixes, but also including updates to the piv card driver and support for the Rutoken ECP.
On 2009-07-22 libp11 0.2.6 was released fixing the exports file, which prior to this release was missing the symbol for the new function included in libp11 0.2.5.
New release of libp11 with an extra functions (thus increased library interface version), and a new version of engine_pkcs11 using it, with other small fixes too.
On 2009-05-07 RSA keys are not secure if the public exponent is 1. It should be at least 3, better 65537 or higher. OpenSC PKCS#11 always sets it to a proper value, but a bug in OpenSC 0.11.7 caused pkcs11-tool to ask for public exponent 1 when creating new keys. Only the combination of pkcs11-tool from OpenSC 0.11.7 with a third party PKCS#11 Module and a card ignoring this bad value would create such an insecure key.
On 2009-05-04 Better hal support, several smaller fixes, improved polling loop for reduced power consumption and building/packaging fixes to make packaging easier were included in the new OpenCT release 0.6.16.
On 2008-08-27 The Security Advisory was updated and OpenSC 0.11.6 was released with a security relevant fix. Pam_p11 was updated to 0.1.5 with fixed documentation (wiki to html export).
On 2008-08-01 New windows binary packages version 001 were made public. These new packages were build using MinGW setup. The old SCB installer package for windows is now obsolete, as there is no one left to maintain it.
On 2008-07-31 A security update was found and a security Advisory was released. Also OpenCT 0.6.15, OpenSC 0.11.5, Libp11 0.2.4, Pam_P11 0.1.4 and Engine_Pkcs11 0.1.5 were released.
On 2007-09-11 SCB 0.10 was released with OpenSC updated to 0.11.4.
On 2007-09-10 OpenSC 0.11.4 was released with some support for CardOS M4 cards initialized with siemens software, and with the new AKIS driver.
On 2007-08-30 OpenCT 0.6.14 was released fixing openct_udev script.
On 2007-08-23 OpenCT 0.6.13 was released with hot plug improvements
On 2007-07-11 OpenCT 0.6.12 with many improves and merging the rfid support.
On 2007-05-04 OpenSC 0.11.2 was released, with bugfixes, a free pkcs11.h header file, muscle support (in testing) and updated card drivers.
On 2007-01-05 pkcs11-helper 1.02 was released, first standalone library for developers who wish to use PKCS#11 in their applications, but found it to be too complex.
On 2006-11-22 OpenCT 0.6.11 was released fixing non linux compiles.
On 2006-11-11 OpenCT 0.6.10 was released with minor bugfixes only.
On 2006-09-20 OpenCT 0.6.9 was released, the biggest change was
moving to udev instead of hot plug for usb hot plug support.
On 2006-06-19 OpenCT 0.6.8 was released, fixing only a single small, but very annoying bug that caused spurious failures. Now OpenCT works well, e.g. 1000 remote ssh logins in a row work without any failure.
From 2006 May 3rd to 6st we had a booth at LinuxTag (in Wiesbaden, Germany).
On 2006-05-01 the new web pages was launched and new versions OpenSC 0.11.0 and OpenCT 0.6.7 were released.
On 2006-01-20 the web page was moved to opensc-project.org due to dns problems with our old domain name opensc.org.
Both released on 2005-11-23 fixed a few bugs.
To make maintenance of OpenSC easier it was split up into several subprojects - the core OpenSC stayed, but some code used on top of the PKCS#11 module was moved into a new library libp11, and the OpenSSL engine was moved into a new project engine_pkcs11. Also the pam module was abandoned in favor of the new Pam P11 and the well known Pam PKCS#11 modules. The windows installer was updated and a new installer for Mac OS X saw the light of the day. OpenSC 0.10.0, Libp11 0.2.0, Pam_p11 0.1.2, Engine_pkcs11 0.1.2, SCB 0.5 and SCA 0.1 were announced at the same time.
Pam PKCS#11 was developed already for a long time. But in 2005 the project migrated to the opensc server and with Pam-pkcs11 0.5.3 a new version with several bug fixes was released on 2005-09-12.
OpenCT 0.6.6 was released 2005-09-11 and added several new drivers including pcmcica based drivers.
Smart Card Bundle 0.4 was released 2005-06-16, now with a working version of Putty and Pageant, and applications like WinCVS had been successful used with smart card authentication.
OpenCT 0.6.5 was released 2005-05-17 and added several new drivers, Solaris support and many bug fixes.
Smart Card Bundle 0.3 was released 2006-05-10.
OpenSC 0.9.6 was released 2005-04-26. At the same time work on a new installer for windows was started.
OpenCT 0.6.4 was released 2005-04-26.
Belgium has chosen OpenSC as software basis for their national ID card and the source code changes to OpenSC have been published under LGPL license. Their modified version is published under the name "Belpic".
OpenSC 0.9.4 was released 2004-10-31.
OpenCT 0.6.0-alpha and OpenSC 0.9.0-alpha were released 2004-07-01 for testing.
OpenSC 0.9.1 and OpenCT 0.6.1 were announced as preview version on 2004-07-21.
OpenSC 0.9.2 was released as beta 2004-07-25.
OpenCT 0.5.0 was announced 2003-11-24.
OpenCT 0.1.0 was announced 2003-08-16.
OpenSC 0.8.0 was announced 2003-08-15. New card drivers for Aladdin eToken, Micardo 2 and Starcos were in this release, improved support for Windows and Mac OS X. Also this release included native support for accessing several usb crypto tokens, but that support was already deprecated by the new OpenCT 0.1.0 framework for card readers.
On 2003-07-09 Andreas Steffen released the X.509 patch version 1.40 for freeswan 2.00 which introduced support for smart cards.
OpenSC 0.7.0 was created 2002-06-3. It was the first version to work with OpenSSH without any patching. Also the opensc signer plugin for mozilla and netscape was integrated with the OpenSC source code.
OpenSC 0.6.1 was created 2002-03-20. The PKCS#11 Module was improved so it could be used in Mozilla for signing and decrypting emails.
OpenSC 0.6.0 was created 2002-03-13 by Juha Yrjölä, Antti Tapaninen, Timo Teräs and Olaf Kirch. PKCS #15 support was rewritten for this release and support for several cards was added. Also an abstraction layer for card readers was added.
OpenSC 0.5.0 was created 2002-01-24 by Juha Yrjöla, Antti Tapaninen and Timo Teräs, with additional thanks to David Corcoran for inspiration, moral support and valuable information. This releases added PKCS #15 generation support and a rewritten PKCS#11 module, as well as support for the Cryptoflex 16k card.
OpenSC 0.4.0 was created 2001-12-29 by Juha Yrjölä, Antti Tapaninen and Timo Teräs. Among other changes it added abstract card handling, so adding support for new cards became a whiz. With this release the libopensc and opensc-apps was merged into one package. Also opensc-signer 0.1.1 was published at the same day.
libopensc 0.3.5 and opensc-apps 0.3.5 was created 2001-12-15 by Juha Yrölä and Timo Teräs. Also opensc-signer 0.1.0 was published, a netscape plugin to generate digital signatures with smart cards.
