  Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4
 
+  *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
+     options set by Configure in the top level Makefile; typo fixed,
+     now "no-idea" etc. works as intended.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
      file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
      for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
