- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a  [xx XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a  [xx XXX 2001]
+
+  *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+     New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+
+  *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+     due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+     1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+     2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+     3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+        nested use can be treated correctly.  This also avoids 
+        inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+        assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
+     [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
+      "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+  *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
+     was empty.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
+     copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
+     but the code is actually correct.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
+     Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+
+  *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
+     (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
+     a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
+     (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
+     Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
+     CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
+     return NULL from CONF_get_section.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+
+  *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
+     keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
+     is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
+     some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise.  Also make
+     sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
+     headers.
+     [Richard Levitte]
 
   *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
      macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
