3New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
5 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
6 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.

22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
23 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session
24 could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange.
25 - in addition to rsa key exchange and authentication, the handshake now
26 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect
27 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
28 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
29 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.
30 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption.
31 - RAND_bytes was used when generating session keys, potentially
32 leading to temporary freezes when entropy was low.
33 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
34 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
35 into the configured location.
36 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
