Re: ECDH

My e-mail client is just fine.
It is the mailing-list software that is broken.

OK

I am invested in it. My whole business depends on libressl, and each change in their API triggers much pain all the way up to a 500MB system that needs to be patched and re-compiled.

libressl changes hit me when the portable source is released from github, because the libressl list happens to be a closed club.

Ok thanks.
