- update from current 0.9.7-stable CHANGES file:

  Now here we have "CHANGES between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8", and I hope
  that all patches mentioned for 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e actually are
  in the CVS HEAD, i.e. what is to become 0.9.8.

  I have rewritten the 'openssl ca -create_serial' entry (0.9.8)
  so that it explains the earlier change that is now listed (0.9.7e).

  The ENGINE_set_default typo bug entry has been moved from 0.9.8
  to 0.9.7b, which is where it belongs.

OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
*) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
[Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
*) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
number file is now moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new
option -create_serial.
*) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
(Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)

*) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
should make sure they are passing it correctly.

*) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its

*) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites

[Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
*) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
