Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
+ improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
+ /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
+ The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
+ a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
+ can be configured by defining OSSL_SHM_SEEDED to the desired value.
+ The default identifier is 114.
+ [Paul Dale]
+
*) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
when primes for RSA keys are computed.
Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
