  Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
+     convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
+     and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
+     data structure without incrementing reference counters.
+     (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
+     counter, some don't.)
+     Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
+     counters or duplicate objects.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
+     the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
+     [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
+      pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
+
   *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>.  New functions
      RAND_egd() and RAND_status().  In the command line application,
      the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE

+  *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain

      from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
      the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
      after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c

      it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
 
      Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
