  Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a  [XX XXX 2000]
 
+  *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
+     'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
+     returns with exit code 0 iff a command of the given name is available.
+     'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise.  In both cases,
+     the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
+     Additional arguments are always ignored.
+
+     Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
+     the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
+
+     ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
+     as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
+     is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
+     its own key.
+     ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
+     to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
+     'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
+     you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
+     'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
+     This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
+     does not suppress any output.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
      purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
      accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
