   Major changes between OpenSSL 1.1.1 and OpenSSL 3.0.0 [under development]
 
+      o The algorithm specific public key command line applications have
+        been deprecated.  These include dhparam, gendsa and others.  The pkey
+        alternatives should be used intead: pkey, pkeyparam and genpkey.
+      o X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security
+        level 1 or higher. The default security level for TLS is 1, so
+        certificates signed using SHA1 are by default no longer trusted to
+        authenticate servers or clients.
+      o enable-crypto-mdebug and enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace were mostly
+        disabled; the project uses address sanitize/leak-detect instead.
+      o Added OSSL_SERIALIZER, a generic serializer API.
       o Added error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data().
       o Deprecated ERR_put_error().
       o Added OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), to check provider availibility.
