changelog mod_md ssl patch


Changelog says mod_ssl needs patch.

That is a typo or where is the patch.


  *) mod_md: new features
     - supports the ACMEv2 protocol
     - new challenge method 'tls-alpn-01' implemented, needs mod_ssl 
patch to become available

As Rainer said. This should have been removed after the mod_ssl backport.

I would say it's conatined in:

   *) mod_ssl/mod_md: reversing dependency by letting mod_ssl offer 
hooks for
      adding certificates and keys to a virtual host. An additional hook 
allows
      answering special TLS connections as used in ACME challenges.
      Adding 2 new hooks for init/get of OCSP stapling status 
information when
      other modules want to provide those. Falls back to own 
implementation with
      same behaviour as before.
      [Stefan Eissing]

especially in "An additional hook allows answering special TLS 
connections as used in ACME challenges.".

The refence to a needed mod_ssl patch is a bit hard tu understand here 
and probably had a historical reason, before that patch actually got 
applied to mod_ssl (and if you are using mod_md from github and mod_ssl 
is older).

Regards,

Rainer
