commit 76123661a1db136b9ef368dc296a628818e7a4cc
Author: Richard Levitte <levitte at openssl.org>
Date:   Sun Jan 12 01:05:01 2020 +0100

    Change returned -2 to 0 in EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}Init()
    
    The returned -2 was to mark when these operations are unsupported.
    However, that breaks away from the previous API and expectations, and
    there's not enough justification for that not being zero.

  Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
+     set of functions.  The documentation mentioned negative values for some
+     errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
+     was removed.
+
+     Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
+     like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) All of the low level Blowfish functions have been deprecated including:
      BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt, BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt,
      BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt, and BF_options.
