  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+     New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+
+  *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+     sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+     with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+     sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+     opensslconf.h.
+     Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+     specific names (called "system identities").  In the C code, these
+     are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_".  e_os2.h will create another
+     macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+     from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+     what is available.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+     number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+     signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the 
+     CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+     auto incremented.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+     due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+     1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+     2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+     3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+        nested use can be treated correctly.  This also avoids 
+        inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+        assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
+     Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
+     supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
+     disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
+     API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
+     not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
+     of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
+     [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
+      "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+  *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
+     port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
+     option to ocsp utility.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now 
+     reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
+     whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
+     in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
+     just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
+     this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
+     the request is nonce-less.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
+     copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
+     but the code is actually correct.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
+     skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
+     e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
      set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
      utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.

   *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
      Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
+     Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
+     to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
+     and leaves the highest bit random.
