   *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
-     The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx", and RC5 will now be
-     disabled unless "enable-rc5" is specified.

+     The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless

+     (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented.  This is because IDEA

+     fee for non-commercial use.  As before, "no-idea" can be used to
+     avoid this algorithm.)

+
+  *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
+     server and client random values. Previously
+     (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
+     less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
+
+     This change has negligible security impact because:
+
+     1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
+        data.
+
+     2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
+        handshake.
+
+     3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
+        size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
+        values.
+
+     The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
+     to our attention.

      failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
