Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the delay...

Ok,

Did you try changing/upgrade libssl library to a newer version by just
replacing them? Did it break after that?

The OpenSSL API subset used by Vortex Library is quite common and it
works with openssl versions across different platforms with those
version differences....

Ok, this is obvious, but the best way is to grab source code from SVN or
latest tar.gz and have them compiled with your current compiler. That
way you don't have to depend on us releasing next stable release and/or
producing those SDK installer plus the fact that debugging and binary
output will match perfectly the entire product (without mentioning
you'll be able to better control OpenSSL versions).

Best Regards,
