Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
+ *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
+ in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
+ write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
+ programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
+
+ The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
+ text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
+ line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
+ not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
+ seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
+ the answer.
+
+ Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
+ been tested well enough.

+
+ *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
+ it can return incorrect results.
+ (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
+ but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
+ signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
+ include zero length content when signing messages.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
+ BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
+
+ *) Add DSO method for VMS.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
+ wrong sign.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
+ packages. The default package contains applications, application
+ documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
+ include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
+ doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
+ openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
