As deraadt@ points out, we should not hide the information that matters in a heap of clutter. It would waste reader's time and make confusion and accidental misuse more likely. OK deraadt@ jmc@ Delete irrelevant HISTORY details.

Considering that question might even mislead people to attempt ill-advised #ifdef'ing. Pointed out by deraadt@. Since OpenBSD 6.1, BN_pseudo_rand*(3) does the same as BN_rand*(3). 2018-12-21T20:09:04+00:00 schwarze 2018-12-21T20:09:04+00:00 urn:sha1:7b2968a00c404139cc21e17e338649b9fa8ae851 Say so, and note that OpenSSL followed suit in 1.1.0 according to OpenSSL commit 5ecff87d Jun 21 13:55:02 2017 +0100. found a complete archive of SSLeay-0.4 to SSLeay-0.8.1b tarballs 2018-03-27T17:35:50+00:00 schwarze 2018-03-27T17:35:50+00:00 urn:sha1:30d10c511917e0e339dec931667fc4b6eb014430 on the web, so fix up SSLeay HISTORY accordingly crypto HISTORY up to 0.9.6c; researched from OpenSSL git 2018-03-22T17:38:08+00:00 schwarze 2018-03-22T17:38:08+00:00 urn:sha1:0c5b134a72aeeac17b0958901ece49c1b44b4692
