### Changes between 3.0 and 3.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * The default SSL/TLS security level has been changed from 1 to 2. RSA,
+ DSA and DH keys of 1024 bits and above and less than 2048 bits and ECC keys
+ of 160 bits and above and less than 224 bits were previously accepted by
+ default but are now no longer allowed. By default TLS compression was
+ already disabled in previous OpenSSL versions. At security level 2 it cannot
+ be enabled.

+ *Matt Caswell*

* The SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list family functions now accept ciphers using their
IANA standard names.
