 OpenSSL CHANGES
 _______________

 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2001]

     Both OpenSSL 0.9.6a (bugfix release, 5 Apr 2001) and OpenSSL 0.9.7
     are based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.  
     Change log entries are tagged as follows:
         -) applies to 0.9.6a (/0.9.6b) only
         *) applies to 0.9.6a (/0.9.6b) and 0.9.7
         +) applies to 0.9.7 only

  +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
     and with pssibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
     [Richard Levitte]

  *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
     applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
     don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
     [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]

  +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
     arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
     Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
     function pointer.  NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
     versions of OpenSSL [engine].
     Addapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
     callback.
     [Richard Levitte]

  +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
     dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
     to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
     and interrupts/cancelations.
     [Richard Levitte]

  *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
     used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
     that itself.
     [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]

  *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
     ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
     [Bodo Moeller]

  +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
     attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
     [Steve Henson]

  *) Fix OAEP check.
