+ Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8  [05 Jul 2005]
+
+  *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
+     key into the same file any more.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
+     [Andy Polyakov]
+
+  *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
+     [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
+
+  *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
+     libraries.  Use DES_crypt().
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
+     involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
+     both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
+     ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
+     this only applies when building 'shared'.
+     [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
 
   *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
      PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and

+  *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
+     mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
+     the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent.  (Otherwise,
+     the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
+     after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
+     biased k.)
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
-     RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations to mitigate the
-     hyper-threading timing attacks pointed out by Colin Percival
-     (http://www.daemonology.net/hyperthreading-considered-harmful/),
-     and potential related attacks.
+     RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
+     squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
+     independent of the particular secret key.  This will mitigate
+     cache-timing and potential related attacks.
 
      BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
      and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
