  Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
+     X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
+     the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
+     argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
+     better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
+     request header lines. Some software needs this.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
+     obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
+     it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
+     usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
+     phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
+     is prompted for as usual.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
+     the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
+     autodetect the card and use it if present.
+     [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
+
+  *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
+     and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
+     SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
+     the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
+     [Andy Polyakov]
+
+  *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
+     of seed file.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
+     bits.
+     [Ulf Möller]
+
+  *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
+     [Ulf Möller]
+
+  *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
+     [Andy Polyakov]
+
   *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
      equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
