A brief description of the versioning scheme is at: http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#MISC8 Generally we try to keep stable branch releases as close to 100% compatible as possible so shared libraries can be updated with negligible chance of breaking anything. That isn't always successful... What actually counts as a "new feature" and what is a "bug fix" is open to some interpretation. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
