+  *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
+     ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
+     the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
+     should make sure they are passing it correctly.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
+     dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
+     and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
+     indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
+     default implementation more easily.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
+     in config files.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
      Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!

-  *) 
+  *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
+     Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat

+
+  *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
+     to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
+     RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
+     They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
+     [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe]
+
+  *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
+     seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
+     an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
+     is no point in blinding anyway).
