Version 1.11.10, Not Yet Released
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+* An implementation of McEliece code-based public key encryption based
+ on INRIA's HyMES was contributed by cryptosource GmbH. The original
+ version is LGPL but cryptosource has secured permission to release
+ an adaptation under a BSD license. A CCA2-secure message encoding
+ scheme is also included.
+
* Add support for TLS fallback signaling (draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-00).
Clients will send a fallback SCSV if the version passed to the Client
constructor is less than the latest version supported by local policy,
