  Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
+     violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities. 
+     This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
+     number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
+     certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
+     number file is now moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new
+     option -create_serial.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
+     ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
+     give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
+     this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
+     developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
+     ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
+     backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
+     This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the 
+     cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
+     routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and 
+     3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
+     code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
+     Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not 
+     valid (weak or incorrect parity).
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
      as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
      CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
