+Version 1.10.2, 2012-06-17
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Several TLS bugs were fixed in this release, including a major
+omission that the renegotiation extension was not being used.  As the
+1.10 implementation of TLS does not properly support renegotiation,
+the approach in this release is simply to send the renegotiation
+extension SCSV, which should protect the client against any handshake
+splicing. In addition renegotiation attempts are handled properly
+instead of causing handshake failures - all hello requests, and all
+client hellos after the initial negotiation, are ignored. Some
+bugs affecting DSA server authentication were also fixed.
+
+By popular request, ``Pipe::reset`` no longer requires that message
+processing be completed, a requirement that caused problems when a
+Filter's end_msg call threw an exception, after which point the Pipe
+object was no longer usable.
+
+Support for getting entropy using the rdrand instruction introduced in
+Intel's Ivy Bridge processors has been added. In previous releases,
+the ``CPUID::has_rdrand`` function was checking the wrong cpuid bit,
+and would false positive on AMD Bulldozer processors.
+
+An implementation of SRP-6a compatible with the specification in RFC
+5054 is now available in ``srp6.h``. In 1.11, this is being used for
+TLS-SRP, but may be useful in other environments as well.
+
+An implementation of the Camellia block cipher was added, again largely
+for use in TLS.
+
+If ``clock_gettime`` is available on the system, hres_timer will poll all
+the available clock types.
+
+AltiVec is now detected on IBM POWER7 processors and on OpenBSD systems.
+The OpenBSD support was contributed by Brad Smith.
+
+The Qt mutex wrapper was broken and would not compile with any recent
+version of Qt. Taking this as a clear indication that it is not in use,
+it has been removed.
+
+Avoid setting the soname on OpenBSD, as it doesn't support it (:pr:`158`)
+
+A compilation problem in the dynamic loader that prevented using
+dyn_load under MinGW GCC has been fixed.
+
+A common error for people using MinGW is to target GCC on Windows,
+however the 'Windows' target assumes the existence of Visual C++
+runtime functions which do not exist in MinGW. Now, configuring for
+GCC on Windows will cause the configure.py to warn that likely you
+wanted to configure for either MinGW or Cygwin, not the generic
+Windows target.
+
+A bug in configure.py would cause it to interpret `--cpu=s390x` as
+`s390`. This may have affected other CPUs as well. Now configure.py
+searches for an exact match, and only if no exact match is found will
+it search for substring matches.
+
+An incompatability in configure.py with the subprocess module included
+in Python 3.1 has been fixed (:pr:`157`).
+
+The exception catching syntax of configure.py has been changed to the
+Python 3.x syntax. This syntax also works with Python 2.6 and 2.7, but
+not with any earlier Python 2 release. A simple search and replace
+will allow running it under Python 2.5::
+
+  perl -pi -e 's/except (.*) as (.*):/except $1, $2:/g' configure.py
+
+Note that Python 2.4 is not supported at all.
