 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx] ###
 
+ * `ASN1_verify()`, `ASN1_digest()` and `ASN1_sign()` have been deprecated.
+   They are old functions that we don't use, and that you could disable with
+   the macro `NO_ASN1_OLD`.  This goes all the way back to OpenSSL 0.9.7.

+   *Richard Levitte*
+
+ * The main project documents (README, NEWS, CHANGES, INSTALL, SUPPORT)
+   have been converted to Markdown with the goal to produce documents
+   which not only look pretty when viewed online in the browser, but
+   remain well readable inside a plain text editor.
+
+   To achieve this goal, a 'minimalistic' Markdown style has been applied
+   which avoids formatting elements that interfere too much with the
+   reading flow in the text file. For example, it
+
+   * avoids [ATX headings][] and uses [setext headings][] instead
+     (which works for `<h1>` and `<h2>` headings only).
+   * avoids [inline links][] and uses [reference links][] instead.
+   * avoids [fenced code blocks][] and uses [indented code blocks][] instead.

+     [ATX headings]:         https://github.github.com/gfm/#atx-headings
+     [setext headings]:      https://github.github.com/gfm/#setext-headings

  * The test suite is changed to preserve results of each test recipe.
    A new directory test-runs/ with subdirectories named like the
    test recipes are created in the build tree for this purpose.

 ### Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [xx XXX xxxx] ###
 
+ * *[VMS only]* The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
+   `__DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H` and `__DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H`, use pragmas
+   that the C++ compiler doesn't understand.  This is a shortcoming in the
+   compiler, but can be worked around with `__cplusplus` guards.
+
+   C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
+   qualifier `/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)` to be able to use all the OpenSSL
+   functions.  Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
+   characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
+   resolve symbols with longer names.

  * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
    The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
