   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 SSLeay 0.9.1c and OpenSSL 0.9.2:
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.3 and OpenSSL 0.9.4:
+
+      o Transparent support for PKCS#8 format private keys: these are used
+        by several software packages and are more secure than the standard
+        form
+      o PKCS#5 v2.0 implementation
+      o Password callbacks have a new void * argument for application data
+      o Avoid various memory leaks
+      o New pipe-like BIO that allows using the SSL library when actual I/O
+        must be handled by the application (BIO pair)
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.2b and OpenSSL 0.9.3:
+      o Lots of enhancements and cleanups to the Configuration mechanism
+      o RSA OEAP related fixes
+      o Added `openssl ca -revoke' option for revoking a certificate
+      o Source cleanups: const correctness, type-safe stacks and ASN.1 SETs
+      o Source tree cleanups: removed lots of obsolete files
+      o Thawte SXNet, certificate policies and CRL distribution points
+        extension support
+      o Preliminary (experimental) S/MIME support
+      o Support for ASN.1 UTF8String and VisibleString
+      o Full integration of PKCS#12 code
+      o Sparc assembler bignum implementation, optimized hash functions
+      o Option to disable selected ciphers
+
+  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.1c and OpenSSL 0.9.2b:
+      o Fixed a security hole related to session resumption
+      o Fixed RSA encryption routines for the p < q case
+      o "ALL" in cipher lists now means "everything except NULL ciphers"
       o Support for Triple-DES CBCM cipher
       o Support of Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) for RSA
       o First support for new TLSv1 ciphers
       o Added a few new BIOs (syslog BIO, reliable BIO)
       o Extended support for DSA certificate/keys.
-      o Extended support for Certificate Signing Requests (CRL)
+      o Extended support for Certificate Signing Requests (CSR)
       o Initial support for X.509v3 extensions
       o Extended support for compression inside the SSL record layer
       o Overhauled Win32 builds
