+  o Major features (AES performance):
+    - When using OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later, use OpenSSL's counter mode
+      implementation; it makes AES_CTR about 7% faster than our old one
+      (which was about 10% faster than the one OpenSSL used to provide).
+      Resolves issue #4526.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (AES performance):
+    - Only use the EVP interface when AES acceleration is enabled,
+      to avoid a 5-7% performance regression.  Resolves issue #4525,
+      bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha.
