- Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4  [xx Aug 1999]
+ Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [xx XXX 1999]
+
+  *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
+     provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
+     "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
+     hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
+     library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and 
+     associated functions.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
+     as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
+     not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
+     a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
+     an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
+     to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
+     copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
+     function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
+     an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
+     memory BIOSs.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
+     state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
+     a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
+     but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
+     NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
+     always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
+     the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
+     allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
+     functionality.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
+     the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
+     under Win32.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
+     in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
+     extensions to be obtained and added.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
+     CRLF (as required by many protocols).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4  [09 Aug 1999]
   
-  *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is build with RSAref.
+  *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]
 
   *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
