+  +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
+     global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
+     implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
+     the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
+     any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
+     pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
+     can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
+     module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
+     application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up()" function to increment
+     reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
+     the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
+     (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
+     to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
+     This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
+     to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
+     (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  +) Add EVP test program.
+     [Ben Laurie]
+
+  +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
+     [Ben Laurie]
+
+  +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
+     X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
+     X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
+     These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
+     directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
+     for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
+     The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
+     still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
+     of the OS.  The shared library support part includes a variant that
+     uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the speciel
+     configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
+     automatically.
+     [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
+     with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
+     Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
+     messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
+     [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
+
+  +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
+     bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
+     The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
+     available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
+     Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
+     for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
+     [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
+

   +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
      cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
      the number of header dependencies.
