since 5th of july openssl has offical released the 0.9.8 series
if you gonna use this with openca 0.9.2x there are a few things to keep
in mind:

if you have enabled functionality to have mulitple certificates with the
same subject this will couses conflicts, since the 0.9.7 didn't
officially suport it, there where only some patches (from micha for
0.9.7c and some people modified it for e i think) out, which may use a
slightly different way to do it

the changelog of openssl says:
http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html

  *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
     subject in the CA index file.  This is done only if the keyword
     'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
     if 'CA_default') of the configuration file.  The value is saved
     with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
     named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
     [Richard Levitte]

so this isn't tested and confirmed working with openca yet
if you need this feature please stay with 0.9.7 of openssl series for
the moment, since there may be other possible problems

some more of maybe interesting features now available from the changelog:

  *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
     req and dirName.
     [Steve Henson]

  *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
     [Steve Henson]

  *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
     [Steve Henson]

  *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
     [Steve Henson]
