  Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5  [xx XXX 1999]
 
+  *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2 
+     handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
+     the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
+     A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
+     to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
+     the effective key length. In this case the effective key lenth can still
+     be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
+     by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
+     EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
+     the key length and effective key length are equal.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of 
+     X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
+     X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
+     and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
+     the structures. The more adventurous can try:
+     X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
+     and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
+     copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
+     way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
+     BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
+     BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
+     using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
+     openssl.cnf for more info.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
+  *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
+     - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
+     - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
+       md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
+       or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
+       Access to the large state is not always serializable because
+       the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
+       md should be large enough anyway.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
+     for handling the random seed file.
+
+     Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
+          ca,
+          dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its `-rand' option), 
+          s_client,
+          s_server,
+          x509 (when signing).
+     Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
+     seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
+     for RSA signatures we could do without one.
+
+     gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
+     of each file listed in the `-rand' option.  The function as previously
+     found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
+     that support `-rand'.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
+     don't just chmod when it may be too late.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
+     when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
+     [Bill Perry]
+
+  *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
+     ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
+     into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
+     and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
+     is suitable.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
      macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
      use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
