- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a  [xx XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a  [xx XXX 2001]
+
+  *) 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
+     and break the signature.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
+     DH ciphersuites.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
+     OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
+     aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms().  This provides improved
+     compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
+     with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
+     ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+  *) ./config script fixes.
+     [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
+     terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
+     parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
+     by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
+     [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
+
+  *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
+     call failed, free the DSA structure.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
+     These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
+     [Steve Henson]
 
   *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
      Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
