=============

This is the 2020-08 snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL, which was released on August 11, 2020. Its release page on GitHub is https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl/releases/tag/OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable-snapshot-2020-08. This release is intended to be used with liboqs version 0.4.0.
This is the 2021-03 snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL, which was released on March 26, 2021. Its release page on GitHub is https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl/releases/tag/OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable-snapshot-2021-03. This release is intended to be used with liboqs version 0.5.0.

What's New
----------

This is the fourth snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL_1\_1\_1-stable. It is based on OpenSSL 1.1.1g.
This is the fifth snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL_1\_1\_1-stable. It is based on OpenSSL 1.1.1k.

- Uses the updated NIST Round 2 submissions added to liboqs 0.4.0, as described in the [liboqs release notes](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/blob/main/RELEASE.md).
- Removes algorithms from NIST PQC Round 2 that did not advance to Round 3: NewHope, ThreeBears, MQDSS, qTesla.
- Updates algorithms to those used in liboqs 0.5.0, as described in the [liboqs release notes](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/blob/main/RELEASE.md).
- Adds HQC, NTRUPrime.
- Improvements to continuous integration testing and build process, including building of shared libraries.
- Change format of hybrid key exchange in TLS 1.3 to follow https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design-01

Previous release notes
----------------------

As a result of NIST's announcement of Round 3 of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project, this is the last release of OQS-OpenSSL that contain algorithms from Round 2 that are not Round 3 finalists or alternate candidates. Those algorithms will be removed in the next release. The algorithms in question are: NewHope, ThreeBears, MQDSS, and qTesla. These algorithms are considered deprecated within OQS-OpenSSL will receive no updates after this release.
