  Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
 
-  *) Default cipher lists/suites are now avaialble via a function, the
+  *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
+     to check if a named provider is loaded and available.  When called, it
+     will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
+     [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+  *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
+     Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
+     but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
+     private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
+     [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+  *) Added a new FUNCerr() macro that takes a function name.
+     The macro SYSerr() is deprecated.
+     [Rich Salz]
+
+  *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
+     [Paul Dale]
+
+  *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
+     deprecated.
+     [Rich Salz]
+
+  *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
+     algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
+     by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
+     used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
+     the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
+     functions for further details.
+     [Matt Caswell]
+
+  *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
+     [Matt Caswell]
+
+  *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
+     xxx_F_xxx define's.
+
+  *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
+     [Rich Salz]
+
+  *) Removed DES_check_key.  Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
+     OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
+     Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
+     variables, only functions.
+     [Rich Salz]
+
+  *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
+     an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
+     was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
+     would crash.
+     [Matt Caswell]
+
+  *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
+     [Paul Yang]
+
+  *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
+     [Tomas Mraz]
+
+  *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
+     This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
+     length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
+     For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
+     default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
+     To enable or disable these checks use the control
+     EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
+     [Shane Lontis]
+
+  *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
      #defines are deprecated.
