  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
+     to the algorithm using long divison.  The binary algorithm can be
+     used only if the modulus is odd.  On 32-bit systems, it is faster
+     only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
+     roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
+     up to 450 bits.  In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
+     appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
+     for moduli up to 2048 bits.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
+     versions of 'test'.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
+
+  *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
+     the default extension for executables, if any.  Also, make the perl
+     scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
+     if it doesn't.  All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
+     CygWin.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
+     could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
+     (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
+     For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
+     in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'.  This avoids the clashes
      with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
      and UnixWare.

   *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
      if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
