There is a change in the EVP interface: appliations must now call
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() explicitly. Up to and including 0.9.6x,
all data was part of the EVP_CIPHER_CTX, starting with 0.9.7, some
data are allocated on the fly and memory leaks may occur, if the
cleanup is not called.
The OID (Object Identifier) table has experienced some changes to
become conformant to RFC2256 (LDAP). Some entries had to be renamed.
