   This file gives a brief overview of the major changes between each OpenSSL
   release. For more details please read the CHANGES file.
 
-  Major changes between OpenSSL 1.0.2e and OpenSSL 1.1.0 [under development]
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 1.0.2g and OpenSSL 1.1.0 [in pre-release]
 
+      o Added support for "pipelining"
+      o Added the AFALG engine
+      o New threading API implemented
+      o Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl
       o Support for extended master secret
       o CCM ciphersuites
+      o Reworked test suite, now based on perl, Test::Harness and Test::More
+      o Various libcrypto structures made opaque including: BIGNUM, EVP_MD,
+        EVP_MD_CTX, HMAC_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and EVP_CIPHER_CTX.
+      o libssl internal structures made opaque
+      o SSLv2 support removed
+      o Kerberos ciphersuite support removed
+      o RC4 removed from DEFAULT ciphersuites in libssl
+      o 40 and 56 bit cipher support removed from libssl
+      o All public header files moved to include/openssl, no more symlinking
+      o SSL/TLS state machine, version negotiation and record layer rewritten
+      o EC revision: now operations use new EC_KEY_METHOD.
+      o Support for OCB mode added to libcrypto
+      o Support for asynchronous crypto operations added to libcrypto and libssl
+      o Deprecated interfaces can now be disabled at build time either
+        relative to the latest release via the "no-deprecated" Configure
+        argument, or via the "--api=1.1.0|1.0.0|0.9.8" option.
+      o Application software can be compiled with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=version
+        to ensure that features deprecated in that version are not exposed.
+      o Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication
+      o Change of Configure to use --prefix as the main installation
+        directory location rather than --openssldir.  The latter becomes
+        the directory for certs, private key and openssl.cnf exclusively.
+      o Reworked BIO networking library, with full support for IPv6.
+      o New "unified" build system
+      o New security levels
+      o Support for scrypt algorithm
+      o Support for X25519
+      o Extended SSL_CONF support using configuration files
+      o KDF algorithm support. Implement TLS PRF as a KDF.
+      o Support for Certificate Transparency
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 1.0.2f and OpenSSL 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
+
+      o Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
+      o Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers
+        (CVE-2016-0800)
+      o Fix a double-free in DSA code (CVE-2016-0705)
+      o Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak
+        (CVE-2016-0798)
+      o Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
+        (CVE-2016-0797)
+      o Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions (CVE-2016-0799)
+      o Fix side channel attack on modular exponentiation (CVE-2016-0702)
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 1.0.2e and OpenSSL 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
+
+      o DH small subgroups (CVE-2016-0701)
+      o SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers (CVE-2015-3197)
