+Version 1.8.14, 2012-07-18
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* The malloc allocator would return null instead of throwing in the
+ event of an allocation failure, which could cause an application
+ crash due to null pointer dereference where normally an exception
+ would occur.
+
+* Recent versions of OpenSSL include extra information in ECC private
+ keys, the presence of which caused an exception when such a key was
+ loaded by botan. The decoding of ECC private keys has been changed to
+ ignore these fields if they are set.
+
+* AutoSeeded_RNG has been changed to prefer ``/dev/random`` over
+ ``/dev/urandom``
+
+* Fix detection of s390x (Debian bug 638347)
