Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_size(), EVP_PKEY_bits()
+ and EVP_PKEY_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_size() needed
+ a new formulation to include all the things it can be used for,
+ as well as words of caution.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) All of the low level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256,
+ SHA384, SHA512 and Whirlpool digest functions have been deprecated.
+ These include:
+ MD2, MD2_options, MD2_Init, MD2_Update, MD2_Final, MD4, MD4_Init,
+ MD4_Update, MD4_Final, MD4_Transform, MD5, MD5_Init, MD5_Update,
+ MD5_Final, MD5_Transform, MDC2, MDC2_Init, MDC2_Update, MDC2_Final,
+ RIPEMD160, RIPEMD160_Init, RIPEMD160_Update, RIPEMD160_Final,
+ RIPEMD160_Transform, SHA1_Init, SHA1_Update, SHA1_Final,
+ SHA1_Transform, SHA224_Init, SHA224_Update, SHA224_Final,
+ SHA224_Transform, SHA256_Init, SHA256_Update, SHA256_Final,
+ SHA256_Transform, SHA384, SHA384_Init, SHA384_Update, SHA384_Final,
+ SHA512, SHA512_Init, SHA512_Update, SHA512_Final, SHA512_Transform,
+ WHIRLPOOL, WHIRLPOOL_Init, WHIRLPOOL_Update, WHIRLPOOL_BitUpdate
+ and WHIRLPOOL_Final.
+ Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
+ time. Instead applications should instead use the EVP_DigestInit_ex,
+ EVP_DigestUpdate(3) and EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3) functions.
+ [Paul Dale]
+
+ *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
+ set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
+ errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
+ was removed.
+
+ Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
+ like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) All of the low level cipher functions have been deprecated including:
+ AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key, AES_encrypt,
+ AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt, AES_cfb128_encrypt,
+ AES_cfb1_encrypt, AES_cfb8_encrypt, AES_ofb128_encrypt,
+ AES_wrap_key, AES_unwrap_key, BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt,
+ BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt, BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt,
+ BF_options, Camellia_set_key, Camellia_encrypt, Camellia_decrypt,
+ Camellia_ecb_encrypt, Camellia_cbc_encrypt, Camellia_cfb128_encrypt,
+ Camellia_cfb1_encrypt, Camellia_cfb8_encrypt, Camellia_ofb128_encrypt,
+ Camellia_ctr128_encrypt, CAST_set_key, CAST_encrypt, CAST_decrypt,
+ CAST_ecb_encrypt, CAST_cbc_encrypt, CAST_cfb64_encrypt,
+ CAST_ofb64_encrypt, DES_options, DES_encrypt1, DES_encrypt2,
+ DES_encrypt3, DES_decrypt3, DES_cbc_encrypt, DES_ncbc_encrypt,
+ DES_pcbc_encrypt, DES_xcbc_encrypt, DES_cfb_encrypt, DES_cfb64_encrypt,
+ DES_ecb_encrypt, DES_ofb_encrypt, DES_ofb64_encrypt, DES_random_key,
+ DES_set_odd_parity, DES_check_key_parity, DES_is_weak_key, DES_set_key,
+ DES_key_sched, DES_set_key_checked, DES_set_key_unchecked,
+ DES_string_to_key, DES_string_to_2keys, DES_fixup_key_parity,
+ DES_ecb2_encrypt, DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt, DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt,
+ DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt, DES_ecb3_encrypt, DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt,
+ DES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt, DES_ede3_cfb_encrypt, DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt,
+ DES_cbc_cksum, DES_quad_cksum, IDEA_encrypt, IDEA_options,
+ IDEA_ecb_encrypt, IDEA_set_encrypt_key, IDEA_set_decrypt_key,
+ IDEA_cbc_encrypt, IDEA_cfb64_encrypt, IDEA_ofb64_encrypt, RC2_set_key,

+ RC2_cfb64_encrypt, RC2_ofb64_encrypt, RC4, RC4_options, RC4_set_key,
+ RC5_32_set_key, RC5_32_encrypt, RC5_32_decrypt, RC5_32_ecb_encrypt,
+ RC5_32_cbc_encrypt, RC5_32_cfb64_encrypt, RC5_32_ofb64_encrypt,
+ SEED_set_key, SEED_encrypt, SEED_decrypt, SEED_ecb_encrypt,
+ SEED_cbc_encrypt, SEED_cfb128_encrypt and SEED_ofb128_encrypt.
+
+ Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
+ time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
+ EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
+ equivalently named decrypt functions.

*) Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
<openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
pages for further details.
[Matt Caswell]
+ *) Most common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
+ were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod
+ [Rich Salz]
+
*) Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
of internals, etc.
