   AVAILABLE PATCHES
 
-    o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
+    o IA-64 (a.k.a. Intel Itanium) public-key operation performance 
+      patch for Linux is available for download at
+      http://www.openssl.org/~appro/096b.linux-ia64.diff. As URL
+      suggests the patch is relative to OpenSSL 0.9.6b.
 
   IN PROGRESS
 
     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
         ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+        OCSP
         EVP cipher enhancement.
-     /* Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification. */
+        Enhanced certificate chain verification.
 	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 Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
 	ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
     o Richard is currently working on:
+	UI (User Interface)
 	UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
 	      functionality that is currently missing).
-	Dynamic thread-lock support.
 	Shared library support for VMS.
+	Kerberos 5 authentication
+	Constification
+	OCSP
 
   NEEDS PATCH

+    o  apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+
+    o  OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
+       #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
+       e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
+
+    o  Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
+       or an error is reported
 
   OPEN ISSUES
 
+    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:
