[openssl-users] Backward compatibility for openSSL letter releases (openSSL 1.0.2 x)

[Satish Lvr]

I am fine with recompilation. My question is more related to same
functional behavior between versions (say from 1.0.2a to 1.0.2b .....
1.0.2p) unless it is related to some security fix which breaks the old
behavior.
