Thanks for your explanation. One more question, do you have some plan about when will 0.9.10 or 1.0.1 be released?

So such changes wont go into 1.0.0 or 0.9.8. However we recognise a need to include new features so they could appear in 0.9.10 (to avoid confusion with the never released 0.9.9) or 1.0.1.

What can we do to push AES-NI acceleration patches into 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 branches
Hi, All, We are working on AES-NI acceleration in OpenSSL. With the help of Andy, we have pushed the AES-NI acceleration patches into OpenSSL CVS development branch. But It seems that the patches have not been merged by the 1.0.0 and/or 0.9.8 branches. So We have some questions: - Is there any rules for a patch to move from CVS development version to the stable branches (1.0.0 and/or 0.9.8)? - What can we do to help the moving occurs? Although there is no machine in market supporting AES-NI now yet. But AES-NI support will be available in the next generation of Intel platform "Westmere" instead of the one after that "SandyBridge". And OSV such as Redhat and Novell are waiting for the AES-NI supporting in OpenSSL now.
