+  *) 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.
