The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1 + for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This + avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and + the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number + as the root CA. + [Steve Henson] + *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses the new code.
