  Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [xx XXX 1999]
 
+  *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
+     so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
+     for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
+     has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
+     certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
+     in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
+     single self signed certificate. This means that:
+     openssl verify ss.pem
+     now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
+     openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
+     is OK.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
+     (and add it to external session representation).
+     This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
+     but an application-provided verification callback (set by
+     SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
+     anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
+     but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
+     ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
+     security holes.
+     [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
+     case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
+     didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
+     [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
+     forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
+     -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
+     to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
+     hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
+     code.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Correctly increment the reference count in the SSL_SESSION pointer 
+     returned from SSL_get_session().
+     [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
+
   *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
      Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
      certificate auxiliary information.
