  Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+
+  *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
+     CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
+     fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
+     correctly.
+     [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
+
+  *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
+     warnings in other configurations.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
+     makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which 
+     have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
+     systems need.
+     [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
+
+  *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
+     X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
+
+  *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in 
+     several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
+     several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
+     the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
+     and restored.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
+     OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
+     clash.
+     [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
+
+  *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
+     it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
+     other than a simple chain.
+     [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
+     by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
+     adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
+     with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
