         EVP cipher enhancement.

        Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
        Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.

     o Richard is currently working on:

   OPEN ISSUES
 
-    o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
-      CA flag ...)
+    o  crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
+       with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
+       CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
+       The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
+       to offer.
 
     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
