  OpenSSL CHANGES
  _______________
 
- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a  [xx XXX 2001]
+ Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b  [XX xxx XXXX]
 
+  *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
+     in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
+     RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case.  This has
+     caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
+     Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
+     DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
+     For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
+     environment variables.
+
+  *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
+     CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND.  This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
+     having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
+     combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
+     Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
+     flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
+     the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
+     that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
+     versions of 'test'.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a  [5 Apr 2001]
+
+  *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
+     [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
+
+  *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
+     the default extension for executables, if any.  Also, make the perl
+     scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
+     if it doesn't.  All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
+     CygWin.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
+     If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
+     amount of data available.
+     [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
+     [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+  *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
+     (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
+     For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
+     in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'.  This avoids the clashes
+     with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
+     and UnixWare.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
+     On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
+     Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
+     http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
+     [Ulf Moeller]
+  
   *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix. 
      [Andy Polyakov]
 
+  *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
      after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
