- Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.8  [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.8  [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+  *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
+     - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
+       a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
+     - add new function for parameter creation
+     - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
+       BN_BLINDING parameters
+     - hide BN_BLINDING structure
+     Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
+     performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
+     threads.
+     [Nils Larsch]
+
+  *) Add support for DTLS.
+     [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
 
   *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
      to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()

+  *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
+     the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
+     with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
+     complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
+     nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
+     some needed definitions.

   *) Undo Cygwin change.
