@pshipton - Based on this issue, is the following still valid?

On Linux and AIX® operating systems, the OpenSSL 1.0.x or 1.1.x library is expected to be found on the system path. If you use a package manager to install OpenSSL, the system path will be updated automatically. On other operating systems, the OpenSSL 1.1.x library is typically bundled. Later levels of some Linux operating systems might bundle OpenSSL 3.0.x.

@pshipton - Here, does v3 mean OpenSSL 3.0.x? Thanks!

I don't think it's restricted to 3.0, it could be any 3.x version. We happen to be bundling 3.0.x for this release but may bundle a later version in the future.

On all platforms the search order is 3, 1.1, 1.0. Linux has done this for a while, but it's new in this release for the other platforms.

Windows/Mac are bundling 3.0.x for this release. Some versions of Linux and AIX might bundle OpenSSL 3 (some versions of Linux do bundle OpenSSL 3), or you might have the option to install OpenSSL 3 via the package manager.

I don't think it's restricted to 3.0, it could be any 3.x version. We happen to be bundling 3.0.x for this release but may bundle a later version in the future.

So, I can say OpenSSL 3.x is now supported on all operating systems? Thanks!
