  Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3
 
-  *) Convert casted X509_INFO stacks to type-safe STACK_OF(X509_INFO).
+  *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
+     handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
+     [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
+
+  *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
+     copying pointers.  The cert_st handling is changed by this in
+     various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
+     is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
+     any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
+     ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
+     As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
+     we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
+     was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
+
+     Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
+     in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
+     Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
+     does not influence s as it used to.
+     
+     Projected further changes:
+     In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
+     we should not use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
+     that holds per-session data, and CERT should hold only those
+     values that can have meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
+     from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
+     evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
+     key type.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
+     environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
+     variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
+     and 'x509').
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
+     organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
+     VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
+     extension option.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
+     without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
+     [Ben Laurie]
+
+  *) Support Borland C++ builder.
+     [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
+
+  *) Support Mingw32.
+     [Ulf Möller]
+
+  *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
+     [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+  *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
+     [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
+
+  *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
+     [Ulf Möller]

+  *) Update HPUX configuration.

   *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.

+  *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.

   *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
      that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
      not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
