  Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
+     some responders need this.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
+     return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
+     BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
+     can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
+     RAND_METHOD structure.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
+     a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
+     is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
+     whose return value is often ignored. 
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
+     correctly.
+     [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
+
+  *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
+     needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
+     didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in 
+     several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
+     several cryptographic weaknesses. The algorithm is also disabled in
+     the default configuration.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
      indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
      to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result

  Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
+     CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
+     fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
+     correctly.
+     [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
+
+  *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
+     warnings in other configurations.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
+     makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which 
+     have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
+     systems need.
+     [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
+
+  *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
+     X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
+
+  *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
+     and restored.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
+     it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
+     other than a simple chain.
+     [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
+
   *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
      by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
      adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
