  OpenSSL CHANGES
  _______________
 
- Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [xx XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a  [XX XXX 2000]
+
+  *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
+     reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
+     the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
+     automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
+     using strerror.  Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
+     library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
+     case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application.  This
+     converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
+     DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
+     by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
+     so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
+     which was free.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
+     instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
+     it only for md_rand.c  Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
+     RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
+     number generation fails.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
+     [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
+
+  *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
+     [Ulf Möller]
+
+  *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
+     [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
+
+  *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
+     [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [28 Feb 2000]
+
+  *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
+     were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
+     [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
 
   *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
      case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
