- * Deprecate EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn()
+ * The default key generation method for the regular 2-prime RSA keys was
+   changed to the FIPS 186-4 B.3.6 method (Generation of Probable Primes with
+   Conditions Based on Auxiliary Probable Primes). This method is slower
+   than the original method.

+   *Shane Lontis*
+
+ * Deprecated the BN_is_prime_ex() and BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex() functions.
+   They are replaced with the BN_check_prime() function that avoids possible
+   misuse and always uses at least 64 rounds of the Miller-Rabin
+   primality test. At least 64 rounds of the Miller-Rabin test are now also
+   used for all prime generation, including RSA key generation.
+   This increases key generation time, especially for larger keys.
+
+   *Kurt Roeckx*
+
+ * Deprecated EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn()
    as they are not useful with non-deprecated functions.
