Forthcoming OpenSSL releases
============================

The OpenSSL project team would like to announce the forthcoming release
of OpenSSL versions 1.0.2e, 1.0.1q, 1.0.0t and 0.9.8zh.

These releases will be made available on 3rd December between approx.
1pm and 5pm (UTC). They will fix a number of security defects, the
highest of which is classified as "moderate" severity.

Please note that the OpenSSL project has recently revised its severity
definitions by introducing a new "critical" level, i.e. the severity
levels are now: critical, high, moderate and low. Please see the
following page for further details:
https://www.openssl.org/policies/secpolicy.html

Please also note that, as per our previous announcements, the 1.0.0 and
0.9.8 releases will no longer be receiving security updates after the
end of this year. This means that, barring any unexpected significant
security issues between now and 31st December 2015, it is likely that
these releases will be the last ones for 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.

Yours

The OpenSSL Project Team
