1) Simplify code with better PACKET methods.
2) Make broken SNI parsing explicit. SNI was intended to be extensible
to new name types but RFC 4366 defined the syntax inextensibly, and
OpenSSL has never parsed SNI in a way that would allow adding a new name
type. RFC 6066 fixed the definition but due to broken implementations
being widespread, it appears impossible to ever extend SNI.
3) Annotate resumption behaviour. OpenSSL doesn't currently handle all
extensions correctly upon resumption. Annotate for further clean-up.
4) Send an alert on ALPN protocol mismatch.

The SRP user database lookup method SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had confusing
memory management semantics; the returned pointer was sometimes newly
allocated, and sometimes owned by the callee. The calling code has no
way of distinguishing these two cases.
Specifically, SRP servers that configure a secret seed to hide valid
login information are vulnerable to a memory leak: an attacker
connecting with an invalid username can cause a memory leak of around
300 bytes per connection.
Servers that do not configure SRP, or configure SRP but do not configure
a seed are not vulnerable.
In Apache, the seed directive is known as SSLSRPUnknownUserSeed.
To mitigate the memory leak, the seed handling in SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
is now disabled even if the user has configured a seed.
Applications are advised to migrate to SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user. However,
note that OpenSSL makes no strong guarantees about the
indistinguishability of valid and invalid logins. In particular,
computations are currently not carried out in constant time.

INSTALL_PREFIX is a confusing name, as there's also --prefix.
Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt
the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging

The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to
designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is
also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).

CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression by
calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by using
the SSL_CONF library to configure compression. SSL_CONF continues to
work as before:
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Options", "Compression") enables compression.
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Options", "-Compression") disables compression (now
no-op by default).
The command-line switch has changed from -no_comp to -comp.

--prefix is now exclusively used for software and manual installation.
--openssldir is not exclusively used as a default location for certs,
keys and the default openssl.cnf.
This change is made to bring clarity, to have the two less

installation.
Please change your habits and scripts to use --prefix rather than
--openssldir for installation location now.

The protocol selection code is now consolidated in a few consecutive
short functions in a single file and is table driven. Protocol-specific
constraints that influence negotiation are moved into the flags
field of the method structure. The same protocol version constraints
are now applied in all code paths. It is now much easier to add
new protocol versions without reworking the protocol selection
logic.
In the presence of "holes" in the list of enabled client protocols
we no longer select client protocols below the hole based on a
subset of the constraints and then fail shortly after when it is
found that these don't meet the remaining constraints (suiteb, FIPS,
security level, ...). Ideally, with the new min/max controls users
will be less likely to create "holes" in the first place.
