Would be nice to document when/where this originated (in glibc?) if
anyone knows...

There used to be a strong reluctance to provide this cipher in LibreSSL in the
past, because the licence terms under which Cammelia was released by NTT were
free-but-not-in-the-corners, by restricting the right to modify the source
code, as well retaining the right to enforce their patents against anyone
in the future.
However, as stated in http://www.ntt.co.jp/news/news06e/0604/060413a.html ,
NTT changed its mind and made this code truly free. We only wish there had
been more visibility of this, for we could have had enabled Cammelia
earlier (-:
Licence change noticed by deraadt@. General agreement from the usual LibreSSL
suspects.
Crank libcrypto.so minor version due to the added symbols.
often space-constrained /var filesystem was a historical mistake. There
are big implications for the daemons which assume they won't run out of
space, and this is a first step towards trying to improve the situation.
Move /tmp to the same 7-day expiration rules that /var/tmp had.
vi.recover works just as well as before, except on memory filesystems;
indicating that vi should be repaired to write files into homedirs or
something.
done with rpe

troff displays these as typographic quotes, but nroff implementations
almost always print them literally, which rarely has the intended effect
with modern fonts, even in stock xterm.
These uses of `` '' can be replaced either with more semantic alternatives
or with Dq, which prints typographic quotes in a UTF-8 locale (but will
automatically fall back to `` '' in an ASCII locale).

engine to regular EVP citizens, contributed by Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov;
libcrypto bits only for now.
This is a verbatim import of Dmitry's work, and does not compile in this
state; the forthcoming commits will address these issues.
None of the GOST code is enabled in libcrypto yet, for it still gets
compiled with OPENSSL_NO_GOST defined. However, the public header gost.h
will be installed.
This functionality was already available (and optional), and used in the
bowels of the ASN.1 code. This exposes it as a public interface, which will
be used by the upcoming GOST code.
Crank libcrypto minor version.
From Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov.
The FreeBSD-native arc4random_buf implementation falls back to weak sources of
entropy if the sysctl fails. Remove these dangerous fallbacks by overriding
locally.
Unfortunately, pthread_atfork() is also broken on FreeBSD (at least 9 and 10)
if a program does not link to -lthr. Callbacks registered with pthread_atfork()
simply fail silently. So, it is not always possible to detect a PID wraparound.
I wish we could do better.
This improves arc4random_buf's safety compared to the native FreeBSD
implementation.
Tested on FreeBSD 9 and 10.
