  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
+     Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it.  In a
+     few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
+     casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
+     time)
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
+     the full version number and not just 0.  This should mark the
+     shared libraries as not backward compatible.  Of course, this should
+     be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add the following functions:
+
+       ENGINE_load_cswift()
+       ENGINE_load_chil()
+       ENGINE_load_atalla()
+       ENGINE_load_nuron()
+       ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
+
+     That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
+     are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not.  The benefit is
+     that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
+     libraries unless it's really needed.
+
+     Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
+     Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
+     declarations (they differed!).
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Add engine application.  It can currently list engines by name and
+     identity, and test if they are actually available.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
+     [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
+
+  *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
+     sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
+     [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
+
+  *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
+     little-endian MIPS.
+     [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
+
+  *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
+     keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
+     [Ben Laurie]
+
+  *) Add support for external cryptographic devices.  This code was
+     previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
+     [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
+     have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
+     depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
+     different shared library filenames on each system.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
