+  *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
+     without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
+     [Bodo Moeller]

+  *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
+     is really the square of the return value.  (Previously,
+     BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
      and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.

+     Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
+     The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
