  Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
+     seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
+     specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
+     as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
+     and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
+     X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
      and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
