  Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
+     The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
+
+     The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
+     "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
+
+     (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented.  This is because IDEA
+     is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
+     fee for non-commercial use.  As before, "no-idea" can be used to
+     avoid this algorithm.)

+
+  *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820).  This work was
+     sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
+     EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
+     as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
+     [Andy Polyakov]

   *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
      section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
      a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the

- Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e  [XX xxx XXXX]
+ Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f  [XX xxx XXXX]
+
+  *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
+     server and client random values. Previously
+     (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
+     less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
+
+     This change has negligible security impact because:
+
+     1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
+        data.
+
+     2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
+        handshake.
+
+     3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
+        size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
+        values.
+
+     The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
+     to our attention.

+  *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
+     [Ulf Möller]
+
+  *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
+     prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
+     [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
+
+  *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
+     failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
+     [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
+     this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
+     (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
+     certificates.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
+     the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct.  As a
+     side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
+     not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
+
+      - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
+        has chosen to ignore this fault)
+      - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
+      - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
+        been given)

   *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded 
      environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
