-----------
### Major changes between OpenSSL 1.1.1 and OpenSSL 3.0 alpha 3 [in pre-release]
* The X25519, X448, Ed25519, Ed448 and SHAKE256 algorithms are included in
the FIPS provider. None have the "fips=yes" property set and, as such,
will not be accidentially used.
* The algorithm specific public key command line applications have
been deprecated. These include dhparam, gendsa and others. The pkey
alternatives should be used intead: pkey, pkeyparam and genpkey.
* X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security
level 1 or higher. The default security level for TLS is 1, so
certificates signed using SHA1 are by default no longer trusted to
authenticate servers or clients.
* enable-crypto-mdebug and enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace were mostly
disabled; the project uses address sanitize/leak-detect instead.
* Added a Certificate Management Protocol (CMP, RFC 4210) implementation
also covering CRMF (RFC 4211) and HTTP transfer (RFC 6712).
It is part of the crypto lib and adds a 'cmp' app with a demo configuration.
All widely used CMP features are supported for both clients and servers.
* Added a proper HTTP(S) client to libcrypto supporting GET and POST,
redirection, plain and ASN.1-encoded contents, proxies, and timeouts.
* Added OSSL_SERIALIZER, a generic serializer API.
* Added OSSL_PARAM_BLD, an easier to use API to OSSL_PARAM.
* Added error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data().
* Deprecated ERR_put_error().
* Added OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), to check provider availibility.
* Added 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
* Added 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
* Add OPENSSL_info() and 'openssl info' to get built-in data.
* Add support for enabling instrumentation through trace and debug
output.
* Changed our version number scheme and set the next major release to
3.0.0
* Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, and a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC
bridge.
* Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature.
* Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, and a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF
bridge.
