  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
+     (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) 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]
