To my knowledge, if it’s in the update repository, Studio should see it,
but given that it’s a major version number change, the openSUSE project
typically doesn’t update major releases within a release of openSUSE, but
rather backports any critical fixes to the earlier release.

So you may not see it until 11.3 is available in Studio, or you could add
a repo that has the newer version of OpenSSL in it, but there may be
unintended side effects when doing that.

Also the fact that the version went to 1.0.0 doesn’t necessarily mean that there are new features. On the contrary, the OpenSSL project probably took the last stable 0.9x version and relabelled it. So I would expect that distros have no hurry to break all their dependencies by suddenly switching version but will take their time to edit all their packages.

Thanks for the responses!

…suse sucks…on ubuntu i can update openssl just like this:
(on Remote ssh connection… but on this dame SUSE remove ssl crash whole system… suse is bad version of Windows with linux commands )

aptitude remove openssl libssl-dev
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.0
./config --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

Not only did you fail to update SSL, you also posted in the wrong forum
so nobody who could possibly care is ever going to read your rant. For
the record, the alternative to the Unbuntu way that you posted (which
doesn’t really look like an Ubuntu way at all… you removed packages
and then recompiled stuff from source which in a non-distro-specific way
which is giving Ubuntu a black eye unnecessarily) is the following:

zypper up

This, of course, assumes the newer version is available to be installed;
if not then you’re probably back to what you did with recompiling
everything from scratch which works for me so not sure why it didn’t for
you.

Good luck.
