  Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
+     software:
+          Malloc         =>  OPENSSL_malloc
+          Malloc_locked  =>  OPENSSL_malloc_locked
+          Realloc        =>  OPENSSL_realloc
+          Free           =>  OPENSSL_free
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15-20%
      faster than BN_mod_exp_mont).
