   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 0.9.8a and OpenSSL 0.9.8b:
+
+      o Cipher string fixes.
+      o Fixes for VC++ 2005.
+      o Updated ECC cipher suite support.
+      o New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
+      o Zlib compression usage fixes.
+      o Built in dynamic engine compilation support on Win32.
+      o Fixes auto dynamic engine loading in Win32.
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.8 and OpenSSL 0.9.8a:
+
+      o Fix potential SSL 2.0 rollback, CAN-2005-2969
+      o Extended Windows CE support
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.7g and OpenSSL 0.9.8:
+
+      o Major work on the BIGNUM library for higher efficiency and to
+        make operations more streamlined and less contradictory.  This
+        is the result of a major audit of the BIGNUM library.
+      o Addition of BIGNUM functions for fields GF(2^m) and NIST
+        curves, to support the Elliptic Crypto functions.
+      o Major work on Elliptic Crypto; ECDH and ECDSA added, including
+        the use through EVP, X509 and ENGINE.
+      o New ASN.1 mini-compiler that's usable through the OpenSSL
+        configuration file.
+      o Added support for ASN.1 indefinite length constructed encoding.
+      o New PKCS#12 'medium level' API to manipulate PKCS#12 files.
+      o Complete rework of shared library construction and linking
+        programs with shared or static libraries, through a separate
+        Makefile.shared.
+      o Rework of the passing of parameters from one Makefile to another.
+      o Changed ENGINE framework to load dynamic engine modules
+        automatically from specifically given directories.
+      o New structure and ASN.1 functions for CertificatePair.
+      o Changed the ZLIB compression method to be stateful.
+      o Changed the key-generation and primality testing "progress"
+        mechanism to take a structure that contains the ticker
+        function and an argument.
+      o New engine module: GMP (performs private key exponentiation).
+      o New engine module: VIA PadLOck ACE extension in VIA C3
+        Nehemiah processors.
+      o Added support for IPv6 addresses in certificate extensions.
+        See RFC 1884, section 2.2.
+      o Added support for certificate policy mappings, policy
+        constraints and name constraints.
+      o Added support for multi-valued AVAs in the OpenSSL
+        configuration file.
+      o Added support for multiple certificates with the same subject
+        in the 'openssl ca' index file.
+      o Make it possible to create self-signed certificates using
+        'openssl ca -selfsign'.
+      o Make it possible to generate a serial number file with
+        'openssl ca -create_serial'.
+      o New binary search functions with extended functionality.
+      o New BUF functions.
+      o New STORE structure and library to provide an interface to all
+        sorts of data repositories.  Supports storage of public and
+        private keys, certificates, CRLs, numbers and arbitrary blobs.
+	This library is unfortunately unfinished and unused withing
+	OpenSSL.
+      o New control functions for the error stack.
+      o Changed the PKCS#7 library to support one-pass S/MIME
+        processing.
+      o Added the possibility to compile without old deprecated
+        functionality with the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED macro or the
+        'no-deprecated' argument to the config and Configure scripts.
+      o Constification of all ASN.1 conversion functions, and other
+        affected functions.
+      o Improved platform support for PowerPC.
+      o New FIPS 180-2 algorithms (SHA-224, -256, -384 and -512).
+      o New X509_VERIFY_PARAM structure to support parametrisation
+        of X.509 path validation.
+      o Major overhaul of RC4 performance on Intel P4, IA-64 and
+        AMD64.
+      o Changed the Configure script to have some algorithms disabled
+        by default.  Those can be explicitely enabled with the new
+        argument form 'enable-xxx'.
+      o Change the default digest in 'openssl' commands from MD5 to
+        SHA-1.
+      o Added support for DTLS.
+      o New BIGNUM blinding.
+      o Added support for the RSA-PSS encryption scheme
+      o Added support for the RSA X.931 padding.
+      o Added support for BSD sockets on NetWare.
+      o Added support for files larger than 2GB.
+      o Added initial support for Win64.
+      o Added alternate pkg-config files.

+      o Enhanced x86_64 assembler BIGNUM module.
+      o More constification.
+      o Added processing of proxy certificates (RFC 3820).
