  Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4
 
+  *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work: 
+     1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
+     2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
+        comparison" warnings.
+     3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
+
+  *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
+     you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
+     derived keys are printed to stderr.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
+     [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
+
+  *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
+     keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
+
+     It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
+     the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
+     parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
+
+     Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
+     the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
+     EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match. 
+     This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
+     the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
+     this bug.
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
+
+  *) Memory leak checking had some problems.  The interface is as follows:
+     Applications can use
+         CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
+         CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
+     "off" is now the default.
+     The library internally uses
+         CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
+         CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
+     to disable memory-checking temporarily.
+
+     Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
+     even the default) are now avoided.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
      which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
      whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
