  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
+     of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
+     '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'.  This also avoids
+     the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+     New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+
+  *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+     sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+     with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+     sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+     opensslconf.h.
+     Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+     specific names (called "system identities").  In the C code, these
+     are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_".  e_os2.h will create another
+     macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+     from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+     what is available.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+     number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+     signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the 
+     CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+     auto incremented.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+     due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+     1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+     2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+     3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+        nested use can be treated correctly.  This also avoids 
+        inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+        assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
+     Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
+     supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
   *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
      disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
      API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is

+     to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
+     and leaves the highest bit random.
