On May 4 14:19:08 2006 UTC, while fixing a security issue, djm@

provided the new public function DH_check_pub_key(3) in <openssl/dh.h>.
Sorry for being a bit tardy in documenting the new function.
Then again, OpenSSL doesn't document it either, yet.

While here, drop a HISTORY entry about a constant that
was renamed in OpenSSL 0.9.5.  That's no longer relevant.
