   This file gives a brief overview of the major changes between each OpenSSL
   release. For more details please read the CHANGES file.
 
+  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
+
   Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.4 and OpenSSL 0.9.5:
 
-      o S/MIME support
+      o S/MIME support in new 'smime' command
       o Documentation for the OpenSSL command line application
-      o 
+      o Automation of 'req' application
+      o Fixes to make s_client, s_server work under Windows
+      o Support for multiple fieldnames in SPKACs
+      o New SPKAC command line utilty and associated library functions
+      o Options to allow passwords to be obtained from various sources
+      o New public key PEM format and options to handle it
+      o Many other fixes and enhancements to command line utilities
+      o Usable certificate chain verification
+      o Certificate purpose checking
+      o Certificate trust settings
+      o Support of authority information access extension
+      o Extensions in certificate requests

+      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
+        data
+      o TLS/SSL code now "tolerates" MS SGC
+      o Work around for Netscape client certificate hang bug
+      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
