  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
+     convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
+     OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
+     OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
+     to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
+     printout format cleaned up.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
+     in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
+     certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
+     or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
+     OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
+     usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
+     signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
+     in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
+     and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
+     verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
+     to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
+     performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
+     if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
+     a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
+     chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
+     extensions from a separate configuration file.
+     As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
+     the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
+     section to use.
+     [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+  *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
+     terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
+     parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
+     by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
+     [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
+
+  *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
+     read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
+     parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
+     still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
+     'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
+     the given serial number (according to the index file).
+     'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
+     in the index file.
+     [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+  *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl.  This is like
+     '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
+     so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
+     [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
+
+  *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
+     [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
+     is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
+     certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
      value of OPENSSLDIR.  This is available via the new '-d' option
      to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.

      [Lutz Jaenicke]
 
   *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
-     random devices and only read data for a small fragment of time
-     to avoid hangs.  Also separate out the Unix variant to it's own
-     file, rand_unix.c.  For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
+     random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
+     of data has been collected.   We spend at most 10 ms on each file
+     (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode.  DEVRANDOM now
+     defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
+     (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
+     platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
+     Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
+     For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.

   *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
