  Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a  [XX XXX 2000]
 
+  *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
+     'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
+     returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
+     'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise.  In both cases,
+     the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
+     Additional arguments are always ignored.
+
+     Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
+     the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
+
+     ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
+     as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
