Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
+ ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
+ So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
+ and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
+ ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
+ near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
*) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
(other platforms pending).
