The SHA4 name was not clear with regards to the new SHA-3 standard. So
SHA2 and SHA4 have been renamed to better represent what they are:
SHA256 and SHA512 modules.
More fixes based on the compiler directives -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations. Not everything with regards
to -Wcast-qual has been fixed as some have unwanted consequences for the
rest of the code.
All symmetric cipher algorithms and hash algorithms now include support
for a POLARSSL_XXX_ALT flag that prevents the definition of the
algorithm context structure and all 'core' functions.
(cherry picked from commit 4087c47043)
code selection
The base RFC 4279 DHE-PSK ciphersuites are now supported and added.
The SSL code cuts out code not relevant for defined key exchange methods
The ciphersuites parameter in the ssl_session structure changed from
'int *' to 'int *[4]'.
The new function ssl_set_ciphersuite_for_version() sets specific entries
inside this array. ssl_set_ciphersuite() sets all entries to the same
value.

ChangeLog
library/ssl_srv.c
library/ssl_tls.c
Made all modifications to include Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie
Hellman ciphersuites into the existing SSL/TLS modules. All basic
handling of the ECDHE-ciphersuites (TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA)
has been included.
New padding checking is unbiased on correct or incorrect padding and
has no branch prediction timing differences.
The additional MAC checks further straighten out the timing differences.
The flag POLARSSL_SSL_ALERT_MESSAGES switched between enabling and
disabling the sending of alert messages that give adversaries intel
about the result of their action. PolarSSL can still communicate with
other parties if they are disabled, but debugging of issues might be
harder.
process
Single stepping the handshake process allows for better support of
non-blocking network stacks and for getting information from specific
handshake messages if wanted.
