  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
+     unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
+     verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
+     hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
+     or the new '-noverify' option is used.
+
+     This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
+     non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
+     line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
+     cause any problems.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
+     The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
+     (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
+     Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it.  In a
+     few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
+     casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
+     time)
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
      the full version number and not just 0.  This should mark the
      shared libraries as not backward compatible.  Of course, this should
