  Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h  [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
+     DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
+     emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
+     [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
      the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
      doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
