My understanding is that LibreSSL was forked from OpenSSL 1.0.1 and they have not backported newer stuff from OpenSSL. I also believe OpenSSL now has several full time paid developers working on it and that the 1.1 release has some significant changes under the hood? I've been using LibreSSL for a while so that I can get chacha20 support but OpenSSL 1.1 will not only have chacha20, but will also have x25519 support as well. This along with what I said above is making me think it might be better to go back to OpenSSL. I just wondered what people in the know think about the current situation with these two things. Plus are there any roadmaps for the future of FreeBSD regarding the defaults. Is the project ever going to look at making LibreSSL the default port, or will that be kept as OpenSSL for many years to come? I know Bernard has been looking into that and playing around with LibreSSL in base etc. Just curious what the official policy is going to be on that. -- Matt
