Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
*) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
(part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
idea. (CAN-2005-2969)
[Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
*) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
[Steve Henson]
*) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
[Nils Larsch]
*) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
[Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
*) Add functions for well-known primes.
[Nick Mathewson]
*) Extended Windows CE support.
[Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
*) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
[Steve Henson]
*) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
smime utility.
