Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
+ set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
+ errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
+ was removed.
+
+ Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
+ like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) All of the low level Blowfish functions have been deprecated including:
BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt, BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt,
BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt, and BF_options.
