    OpenSSL version 0.9.3 released
      ===============================

      OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
      http://www.openssl.org/

      The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of version
      0.9.3 of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS.  This new OpenSSL
      version incorporates over 90 changes and bugfixes to the toolkit (for
      a complete list see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES).

      The most significant changes are:

        o Lots of enhancements and cleanups to the Configuration mechanism
        o RSA OEAP related fixes
        o Added `openssl ca -revoke' option for revoking a certificate
        o Source cleanups: const correctness, type-safe stacks and ASN.1
          SETs
        o Source tree cleanups: removed lots of obsolete files
        o Thawte SXNet, certificate policies and CRL distribution points
        o Preliminary (experimental) S/MIME support
        o Support for ASN.1 UTF8String and VisibleString
        o Full integration of PKCS#12 code
        o Sparc assembler bignum implementation, optimized hash functions
        o Option to disable selected ciphers
        o VMS support

      We consider OpenSSL 0.9.3 to be the best version of OpenSSL available
      and we strongly recommend that users of older versions, especially of
      old SSLeay versions, upgrade as soon as possible.  OpenSSL 0.9.3 is
      available for download via HTTP and FTP from the following master
      locations (the various FTP mirrors you can find under
      http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):

        o http://www.openssl.org/source/
        o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/

      Yours,

      The OpenSSL Project Team...
