   release. For more details please read the CHANGES file.
 
+  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)
+

       o Lots of enhancements and cleanups to the Configuration mechanism

       o Source tree cleanups: removed lots of obsolete files
-      o Support for Thawte SXNet extensions
