### Changes between 3.3 and 3.4 [xx XXX xxxx]
* XOF Digest API changes.
* Improved base64 BIO correctness and error reporting.
*Viktor Dukhovni*
* Added support for directly fetched composite signature algorithms such as
RSA-SHA2-256 including new API functions in the EVP_PKEY_sign,
EVP_PKEY_verify and EVP_PKEY_verify_recover groups.
*Richard Levitte*
* XOF Digest API improvements
EVP_MD_CTX_get_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_size are macros that were aliased to
EVP_MD_get_size which returns a constant value. XOF Digests such as SHAKE

FIPS 140-3 requires indicators to be used if the FIPS provider allows
non-approved algorithms. An algorithm is approved if it passes all
required checks such as minimum key size. By default an error will

* Added debuginfo Makefile target for unix platforms to produce
a separate DWARF info file from the corresponding shared libs.

This release is in development.
* Added initial Attribute Certificate (RFC 5755) support.
This release incorporates the following potentially significant or incompatible
changes:
* Deprecation of TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_* functions and addition of replacement
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_* functions with improved semantics
* Redesigned use of OPENSSLDIR/ENGINESDIR/MODULESDIR on Windows such that
what were formerly build time locations can now be defined at run time
with registry keys
* The X25519 and X448 key exchange implementation in the FIPS provider
is unapproved and has `fips=no` property.
* SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 implementations have no default digest length
anymore. That means these algorithms cannot be used with
EVP_DigestFinal/_ex() unless the `xoflen` param is set before.
* Setting `config_diagnostics=1` in the config file will cause errors to
be returned from SSL_CTX_new() and SSL_CTX_new_ex() if there is an error
in the ssl module configuration.
* An empty renegotiate extension will be used in TLS client hellos instead
of the empty renegotiation SCSV, for all connections with a minimum TLS
version > 1.0.
* Deprecation of SSL_SESSION_get_time(), SSL_SESSION_set_time() and
SSL_CTX_flush_sessions() functions in favor of their respective `_ex`
functions which are Y2038-safe on platforms with Y2038-safe `time_t`
This release adds the following new features:
* Support for directly fetched composite signature algorithms such as
RSA-SHA2-256 including new API functions
* FIPS indicators support in the FIPS provider and various updates of the FIPS
provider required for future FIPS 140-3 validations
* Implementation of RFC 9579 (PBMAC1) in PKCS#12
* An optional additional random seed source RNG `JITTER` using a statically
linked jitterentropy library
* New options `-not_before` and `-not_after` for explicit setting start and
end dates of certificates created with the `req` and `x509` apps
* Support for integrity-only cipher suites TLS_SHA256_SHA256 and
TLS_SHA384_SHA384 in TLS 1.3, as defined in RFC 9150
* Support for requesting CRL in CMP
* Support for additional X.509v3 extensions related to Attribute Certificates
* Initial Attribute Certificate (RFC 5755) support
* Possibility to customize ECC groups initialization to use precomputed values
to save CPU time and use of this feature by the P-256 implementation
