+ Changes between 1.1.0j and 1.1.0k [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+  *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
+     a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
+     This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
+     to affine coordinates.
+     [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
+
+  *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
+     re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
+     [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+  *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script.  The
+     'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
+     necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.0j [20 Nov 2018]
+
+  *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
+
+     The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
+     timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
+     algorithm to recover the private key.
+
+     This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
+     (CVE-2018-0734)

+     [Paul Dale]
+
+  *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
+     coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
+     chosen point SCA attacks.

  Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [14 Aug 2018]
 
   *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
