  Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.1  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from HEAD, not
+     all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
+     encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
+     to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
+     to use them can use the private_* version instead.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds. 
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds. 
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
+     for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
+     order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
+     This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
+     by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
+
+       http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
+
+     [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
+
+  *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication. 
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
+     and enable MD5.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
+     FIPS modules versions.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
      of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
      until after the certificate request message is received.
