Since noone else seems to say a word.
I personally didn't understand at all why v1.0.2 when its
end-of-life is in sight already.  Now you have to continue to
track three active branches.  But this is your problem of course.

What i _really_ don't understand is why 1.0.2 is delivered with
false documentation (not only "int SSL_CONF_finish(SSL_CONF_CTX
*cctx);") etc., especially given that there are bug reports.
Documentation is a vivid part of a software, especially when
a completely new interface is introduced.  From only the
documentation you won't be able to get that stuff going.
Is ALPN, a prominent member of the NEWS entry (you find it on the
website), at all documented?  Where can i find a word about it??

So why that hastiness, now that OpenSSL gains enough money to pay
the bread of not only one, but indeed multiple fulltime
developers.  And then the sponsors seem to accept spending time
for tree re-evaluation?  Is the OpenSSL project at the Wall Street
and needs to produce hyper-hyper quarterly reports?
That is really strange.
Ciao,
