- *) Add the z modifier parsing to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
- to be used for size_t and ssize_t (ossl_ssize_t).
+ *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
+ bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
+ alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
+ it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
+ prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
+ support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
+ record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
+ issues.

+
+ *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
+ with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
+ The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
+ in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
