Win32 OpenSSL CVS Build
Win32 OpenSSL CVS Builds are designed for those who want to have the "latest-and-greatest." The Win32 OpenSSL CVS Builds are built such that they are successfully compiled, but there is no guarantee of stability or even if they work even though it **LOOKS** professionally packaged. The actual build is completely untested except for correct a compilation.

If the CVS snapshot is so bad that it requires heavy-duty modifications to make it work (minor fixes to the code to get rid of warnings in various places is okay), then the CVS snapshot will not be updated for the current week. So, there could be 2-3 week periods without any updates to the CVS build. The Win32 OpenSSL Installation Group makes suggestions to improve the distribution, but has no plans to modify the actual CVS source.

The major difference between the CVS package and the normal package is where libeay.dll and ssleay.dll are placed. In the normal package, the DLLs are put into the Windows system directory. In the CVS package, they are left in the installation directory.
