          +) applies to 0.9.7 only
 
+  +) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
+     with DES_ instead.  This because there are increasing clashes with
+     libdes and other des libraries that are currently used by other
+     projects.  The old libdes interface is provided, as well as crypt(),
+     if openssl/des_old.h is included.  Note that crypt() is no longer
+     declared in openssl/des.h.
+
+     NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one.  Software
+     authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions.  Some
+     time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
+     will be completely removed.

   *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
      never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
      one of the SSL handshake functions.
