   This file gives a brief overview of the major changes between each OpenSSL
   release. For more details please read the CHANGES file.
 
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6 and OpenSSL 0.9.7:
+
+      o New library section OCSP.
+      o Complete rewrite of ASN1 code.
+      o CRL checking in verify code and openssl utility.
+      o Extension copying in 'ca' utility.
+      o Flexible display options in 'ca' utility.
+      o Provisional support for international characters with UTF8.
+      o Support for external crypto devices ('engine') is no longer
+        a separate distribution.
+      o New elliptic curve library section.
+      o New AES (Rijndael) library section.
+      o Support for new platforms: Windows CE, Tandem OSS, A/UX, AIX 64-bit,
+        Linux x86_64, Linux 64-bit on Sparc v9
+      o Extended support for some platforms: VxWorks
+      o Enhanced support for shared libraries.
+      o Now only builds PIC code when shared library support is requested.
+      o Support for pkg-config.
+      o Lots of new manuals.
+      o Makes symbolic links to or copies of manuals to cover all described
+        functions.
+      o Change DES API to clean up the namespace (some applications link also
+        against libdes providing similar functions having the same name).
+        Provide macros for backward compatibility (will be removed in the
+        future).
+      o Unify handling of cryptographic algorithms (software and engine)
+        to be available via EVP routines for asymmetric and symmetric ciphers.
+      o NCONF: new configuration handling routines.
+      o Change API to use more 'const' modifiers to improve error checking
+        and help optimizers.
+      o Finally remove references to RSAref.
+      o Reworked parts of the BIGNUM code.
+      o Support for new engines: Broadcom ubsec, Accelerated Encryption
+        Processing, IBM 4758.
+      o A few new engines added in the demos area.
+      o Extended and corrected OID (object identifier) table.
+      o PRNG: query at more locations for a random device, automatic query for
+        EGD style random sources at several locations.
+      o SSL/TLS: allow optional cipher choice according to server's preference.
+      o SSL/TLS: allow server to explicitly set new session ids.
+      o SSL/TLS: support Kerberos cipher suites (RFC2712).
+	Only supports MIT Kerberos for now.
+      o SSL/TLS: allow more precise control of renegotiations and sessions.
+      o SSL/TLS: add callback to retrieve SSL/TLS messages.
+      o SSL/TLS: support AES cipher suites (RFC3268).
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6g and OpenSSL 0.9.6h:
+
+      o New configuration targets for Tandem OSS and A/UX.
+      o New OIDs for Microsoft attributes.
+      o Better handling of SSL session caching.
+      o Better comparison of distinguished names.
+      o Better handling of shared libraries in a mixed GNU/non-GNU environment.
+      o Support assembler code with Borland C.
+      o Fixes for length problems.
+      o Fixes for uninitialised variables.
+      o Fixes for memory leaks, some unusual crashes and some race conditions.
+      o Fixes for smaller building problems.
+      o Updates of manuals, FAQ and other instructive documents.
+
   Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6f and OpenSSL 0.9.6g:
 
       o Important building fixes on Unix.
