[New-bugs-announce] [issue34631] Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

OpenSSL 1.1.1 was released today. The blog post https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/09/11/release111/ lists all major improvements.

Highlights:
* TLS 1.3
* API and ABI compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.0
* LTS release (support schedule TBD)

All tests on master are passing with OpenSSL 1.1.1. I still want to hold off and wait a couple of patch releases, before we start to ship Windows and macOS builds with 1.1.1. Some aspects of the TLS 1.3 handshake are different to TLS 1.2. I might have to implement some additional APIs for post handshake authentication.
