  Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
+     return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
+     found.  The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
+     searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
+     takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality.  Currently,
+     the following flags are defined:
+
+       OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
+       This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
+       element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
+       number.
+
+       OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
+       This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
+       element where the comparing function returns zero.  This is useful
+       if there are more than one element where the comparing function
+       returns zero.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
+     in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
+     CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
+     as all other certificate signing.  The new flag '-selfsign' enables
+     this functionality.  Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
+     against a given private.  This is useful to check that a certificate
+     request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
      subject in the CA index file.  This is done only if the keyword
      'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default

+ Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j  [10 Apr 2003]
+
+  *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
+     Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
+     a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
+     in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
+     to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
+     RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
+     They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
+     [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
+     seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
+     an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
+     is no point in blinding anyway).  Make RSA blinding thread-safe
+     by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
+     having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
+     (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
+     avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
+     between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
