  Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
+     a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
+     algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
+     return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
+     2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
+     ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
+     use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
+     type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New 
+     EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
+     signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
+     between digests and public key types.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
+     translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
+     rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
+     needed to use the correct OID to be removed. 
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
      structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
      key ASN1 method.

+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c  [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+  *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
+     bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
+     necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
+     positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
+     code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
+     now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.

   *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
      cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
