  Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Add SHA3.
+     [Andy Polyakov]
+
+  *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
+     not possible to disable entirely.  However, it's still possible to
+     disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
+     as a fallback).
+
+     To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'.  'no-ui' is still
+     possible to use as an alias.  Check at compile time with the
+     macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.  The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
+     possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
+     stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
+     objects.  The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
+     and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
+     OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
+     The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
+     URI schemes.  There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add devcrypto engine.  This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
+     then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
+     Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'.  This is done by default
+     on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_.  This affects
+     util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
+     error code calls like this:
+
+         OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
+
+     With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
+     that can be encoded in C.  For the foreseeable future, this will only
+     affect new modules.
+     [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
+
   *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
