### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * The signatures of the functions to get and set options on SSL and
+ SSL_CTX objects changed from "unsigned long" to "uint64_t" type.
+ Some source code changes may be required.
+
+ * Rich Salz *
+
+ * Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. To allow it, use
+ the -client_renegotiation option, the SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION
+ flag, or the "ClientRenegotiation" config parameter as appropriate.
+
+ * Rich Salz *
+
* Add "abspath" and "includedir" pragma's to config files, to prevent,
or modify relative pathname inclusion.
Previously (in 1.1.1) they would return -2. For key types that do not have
parameters then EVP_PKEY_param_check() will always return 1.
+ * The output from the command line applications may have minor
+ changes. These are primarily changes in capitalisation and white
+ space. However, in some cases, there are additional differences.
+ For example, the DH parameters output from `dhparam` now lists 'P',
+ 'Q', 'G' and 'pcounter' instead of 'prime', 'generator', 'subgroup
+ order' and 'counter' respectively.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
* The output from numerous "printing" functions such as X509_signature_print(),
X509_print_ex(), X509_CRL_print_ex(), and other similar functions has been
amended such that there may be cosmetic differences between the output

+ * A number of functions handling low-level keys or engines were deprecated
including EVP_PKEY_set1_engine(), EVP_PKEY_get0_engine(), EVP_PKEY_assign(),
EVP_PKEY_get0(), EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and

+ providers. Applications getting or setting low-level keys in an EVP_PKEY
should instead use the OSSL_ENCODER or OSSL_DECODER APIs, or alternatively
use EVP_PKEY_fromdata() or EVP_PKEY_get_params().
*Matt Caswell*
+ * Implemented support for fully "pluggable" TLSv1.3 groups. This means that
+ providers may supply their own group implementations (using either the "key
+ exchange" or the "key encapsulation" methods) which will automatically be
+ detected and used by libssl.
+
+ *Matt Caswell, Nicola Tuveri*
+
* The undocumented function X509_certificate_type() has been deprecated;
applications can use X509_get0_pubkey() and X509_get0_signature() to
get the same information.
* Deprecated the type OCSP_REQ_CTX and the functions OCSP_REQ_CTX_new(),
OCSP_REQ_CTX_free(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_http(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(),
OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d() and its special form OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(),

+ OCSP_REQ_CTX_nbio_d2i() and its special form OCSP_sendreq_nbio(),
OCSP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() and OCSP_set_max_response_length(). These
were used to collect all necessary data to form a HTTP request, and to
perform the HTTP transfer with that request. With OpenSSL 3.0, the
type is OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX, and the deprecated functions are replaced
with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free(),
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_request_line(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(),
- OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio(),
- OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() and

+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio(), and
OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length().
- *Rich Salz and Richard Levitte*
+ *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte, and David von Oheimb*
* Deprecated `X509_http_nbio()` and `X509_CRL_http_nbio()`,
which are superseded by `X509_load_http()` and `X509_CRL_load_http()`.
*Dmitry Belyavskiy*
- * All of the low level EC_KEY functions have been deprecated including:
+ * Added convenience functions for generating asymmetric key pairs:
+ The 'quick' one-shot (yet somewhat limited) function L<EVP_PKEY_Q_keygen(3)>
+ and macros for the most common cases: <EVP_RSA_gen(3)> and L<EVP_EC_gen(3)>.
