     o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
-    o FreeBSD 3.0 changes (Richard Levitte)
 
   IN PROGRESS
 
     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
+        ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+        EVP cipher enhancement.
         Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
        Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
        Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
-       Documentation for the openssl utility.
+    o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
+       ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
+    o Richard is currently working on:
+       UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
+             functionality that is currently missing).
+       Dynamic thread-lock support.
+       Shared library support for VMS.

-    o The EVP and ASN1 stuff is a mess. Currently you have one EVP_CIPHER
-      structure for each cipher. This may make sense for things like DES but
-      for variable length ciphers like RC2 and RC4 it is NBG. Need a way to
-      use the EVP interface and set up the cipher parameters. The ASN1 stuff
-      is also foo wrt ciphers whose AlgorithmIdentifier has more than just
-      an IV in it (e.g. RC2, RC5). This also means that EVP_Seal and EVP_Open
-      don't work unless the key length matches the fixed value (some vendors
-      use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect
-      RC2 to adapt).
-
-    o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
-      there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
-      or similar.
