+      o Copyright text was shrunk to a boilerplate that points to the license
+      o "shared" builds are now the default when possible
+      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.

+  Major changes between OpenSSL 1.0.2g and OpenSSL 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
+
+      o Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check (CVE-2016-2107)
+      o Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow (CVE-2016-2105)
+      o Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow (CVE-2016-2106)
+      o Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation (CVE-2016-2109)
+      o EBCDIC overread (CVE-2016-2176)
+      o Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
+        callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
+      o Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list.  This removes singles DES from
+        the default.
+      o Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option.
