 that SSLv3 support has not been removed yet, but it should happen soon.

 Notable changes in this release are:

   * Assorted build fixes for musl, HP-UX, Mingw, and Solaris.

   * Initial support for Windows 2009, 2003, and XP.

Update:

As I continue to receive emails stating that I must have made a typo
about Windows 2009 and 2003, I would like to point out that these are,
in fact, real! I have amended the Changelog to be more clear:

* Initial support for Windows Embeded 2009, Server 2003, XP

While these are not all consumer desktop editions, they share a common
core API level, and thus were supported by the same additions to the
LibreSSL portability layer. I thought it was worth mentioning simply
because these were the versions for which people have kindly sent me
test reports.

Thanks, and enjoy using LibreSSL.
