+  *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
+     platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
+     [Andy Polyakov]
+
+  *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
+     its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
+     from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
+     when producing the local key id.
+     [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
+
+  *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
+     stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
+     certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
+     "server.pem".
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
+     a public key to be input or output. For example:
+     openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
+     Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
+     in the message. This was handled by allowing
+     X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
+
+  *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
+     to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
+     if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]

   *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
      data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
      caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
