Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6a and OpenSSL 0.9.6b:
o Security fix: PRNG improvements.
o Security fix: RSA OAEP check.
o Security fix: Reinsert and fix countermeasure to Bleichbacher's

Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6 and OpenSSL 0.9.6a:
o Security fix: change behavior of OpenSSL to avoid using
environment variables when running as root.
o Security fix: check the result of RSA-CRT to reduce the
possibility of deducing the private key from an incorrectly
calculated signature.
o Security fix: prevent Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
o Security fix: Zero the premaster secret after deriving the
master secret in DH ciphersuites.
o Reimplement SSL_peek(), which had various problems.
o Compatibility fix: the function des_encrypt() renamed to
des_encrypt1() to avoid clashes with some Unixen libc.
o Bug fixes for Win32, HP/UX and Irix.
o Bug fixes in BIGNUM, SSL, PKCS#7, PKCS#12, X.509, CONF and
memory checking routines.
o Bug fixes for RSA operations in threaded environments.
o Bug fixes in misc. openssl applications.
o Remove a few potential memory leaks.
o Add tighter checks of BIGNUM routines.
o Shared library support has been reworked for generality.
o More documentation.
o New function BN_rand_range().
o Add "-rand" option to openssl s_client and s_server.
Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.5a and OpenSSL 0.9.6:
o Some documentation for BIO and SSL libraries.
o Enhanced chain verification using key identifiers.
o New sign and verify options to 'dgst' application.

o New 'rsautl' application, low level RSA utility.
o MD4 now included.
o Bugfix for SSL rollback padding check.
o Support for external crypto devices [1].
o Enhanced EVP interface.
[1] The support for external crypto devices is currently a separate
distribution. See the file README.ENGINE.
