The latter becomes + the directory for certs, private key and openssl.cnf exclusively. + o Reworked BIO networking library, with full support for IPv6. + o New "unified" build system + o New security levels + o Support for scrypt algorithm + o Support for X25519 + o Extended SSL_CONF support using configuration files + o KDF algorithm support.
