Comment on LibreSSL, and the new libtls APIparent

Comments

Those are the newer libraries you're _suppose_ to use, rather than OpenSSL. It's mostly older applications and codebases that limit Apple. I could imagine a stop-point but Apple obsesses a lot about not breaking backwards compatibility.

Don't forget their version is ancient (API-wise; they back-port fixes) and LibreSSL is much newer, so it's not a drop in replacement for such an old version.

Lo, how times have changed. ;-)
