 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+ * 'Configure' has been changed to figure out the configuration target if
+   none is given on the command line.  Consequently, the 'config' script is
+   now only a mere wrapper.  All documentation is changed to only mention
+   'Configure'.
+
+   *Rich Salz and Richard Levitte*
+
+ * Added a library context that applications as well as other
+   libraries can use to form a separate context within which libcrypto
+   operations are performed.
+
+   There are two ways this can be used:
+
+   - Directly, by passing a library context to functions that take
+     such an argument, such as `EVP_CIPHER_fetch` and similar algorithm
+     fetching functions.
+   - Indirectly, by creating a new library context and then assigning
+     it as the new default, with `OPENSSL_CTX_set0_default`.
+
+   All public OpenSSL functions that take an `OPENSSL_CTX` pointer,
+   apart from the functions directly related to `OPENSSL_CTX`, accept
+   NULL to indicate that the default library context should be used.
+
+   Library code that changes the default library context using
+   `OPENSSL_CTX_set0_default` should take care to restore it with a
+   second call before returning to the caller.

  * Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
    on renegotiation.

+ * The security strength of SHA1 and MD5 based signatures in TLS has been
+   reduced. This results in SSL 3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0 no longer
+   working at the default security level of 1 and instead requires security
+   level 0. The security level can be changed either using the cipher string
+   with @SECLEVEL, or calling SSL_CTX_set_security_level().

  * EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(), and
    EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() can now handle EVP_PKEYs with provider side
    internal keys, if they correspond to one of those built in types.
