  OpenSSL CHANGES
  _______________
 
  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
+     could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
+     (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'.  This avoids the clashes
+     with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
+     and UnixWare.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
+     On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
+     Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
+     http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+  
+  *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix. 
+     [Andy Polyakov]
+
+  *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
+     if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
+     PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
+     (but broken) behaviour.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
+     it when found.
+     [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
+     extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
+     by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
+     file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
+     signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
+     or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
+     multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
+     and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
+     don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
      of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
      including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
