Note that in + SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note + also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide + invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake + credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong + guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from + that of a valid user. + [Emilia Käsper] + + *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines + without having to build shared libraries and vice versa.

This means other libraries that use routines from + libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless + of how OpenSSL was configured. + + If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic" + or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will + also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Removed JPAKE code.
