+The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are 
+obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New

-Several of the functions do not return values: maybe they should. Although the
-internal digest operations will never fail some future hardware based operations
-might.
-
 The link between digests and signing algorithms results in a situation where
 EVP_sha1() must be used with RSA and EVP_dss1() must be used with DSS
 even though they are identical digests.
 
-The size of an B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure is determined at compile time: this results
-in code that must be recompiled if the size of B<EVP_MD_CTX> increases.
