  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
-  *) New ASN1 functions to handle sign, verify, digest, pack and
-     unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM.
+  *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
+     various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
+     OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which 
+     can be used to send requests and parse the response.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
+     ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
+     uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
+     and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
+     standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
+     it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
+     encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
+     it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
+     software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
+     as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
+     to produce the required SET OF.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
+     OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
+     files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
+     PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
+     asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
+     NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
+     New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
+     ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
+     replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
+     the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
+     lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
+     it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
+     unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
+     to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
+     some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
+     code will still work when these eventually go away.
      [Steve Henson]
 
   *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
