   release. For more details please read the CHANGES file.
 
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.6 and OpenSSL x.x.x:
+
+      o New library section OCSP.
+      o Complete haul-over of the ASN.1 library section [1].
+
+    [1] The haul-over is currently a separate line of development.
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.5a and OpenSSL 0.9.6:
+
+      o Some documentation for BIO and SSL libraries.
+      o Enhanced chain verification using key identifiers.
+      o New sign and verify options to 'dgst' application.
+      o Support for DER and PEM encoded messages in 'smime' application.
+      o New 'rsautl' application, low level RSA utility.
+      o MD4 now included.
+      o Bugfix for SSL rollback padding check.
+      o Support for external crypto devices [1].
+      o Enhanced EVP interface.
+
+    [1] The support for external crypto devices is currently a separate
+        distribution.  See the file README.ENGINE.
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.5 and OpenSSL 0.9.5a:
+
+      o Bug fixes for Win32, SuSE Linux, NeXTSTEP and FreeBSD 2.2.8 
+      o Shared library support for HPUX and Solaris-gcc
+      o Support of Linux/IA64
+      o Assembler support for Mingw32
+      o New 'rand' application
+      o New way to check for existence of algorithms from scripts
+

       o Initial (incomplete) support for international character sets
       o New DH_METHOD, DSA_METHOD and enhanced RSA_METHOD
       o Read only memory BIOs and simplified creation function
+      o TLS/SSL protocol bugfixes: Accept TLS 'client hello' in SSL 3.0
+        record; allow fragmentation and interleaving of handshake and other

       o RSA_NULL option that removes RSA patent code but keeps other
         RSA functionality
       o Memory leak detection now allows applications to add extra information
         via a per-thread stack
       o PRNG robustness improved
