  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+     New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+
+  *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+     sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+     with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+     sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+     opensslconf.h.
+     Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+     specific names (called "system identities").  In the C code, these
+     are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_".  e_os2.h will create another
+     macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+     from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+     what is available.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+     number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+     signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the 
+     CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+     auto incremented.
+     [Steve Henson]

   *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
      due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
