  Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [xx XXX xxxx]
 
-  *)
+  *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
+     or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
+     prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
+     sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
+     [Matt Caswell]
 
   *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
      as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
