+
+ + "honor_cipher_order" allows servers to prioritize cipher suites of their
+ choosing when negotiating SSL/TLS handshakes.
+ + "single_ecdh_use" and "single_dh_use" allow for improved forward
+ secrecy in encrypted stream servers.
+ + "dh_param" allows specification of pre-generated key generation
+ parameters when negotiating ephemeral DHE ciphers in stream servers.
+ + "ecdh_curve" allows stream servers to specify which curve to use when
+ negotiating ephemeral ECDHE ciphers (defaults to NIST P-256).
+ + "rsa_key_size" SSL context option gives stream servers control
+ over the key size (in bits) used when negotiating RSA ciphers.

-- Added stream wrapper support for cafile paths when verifying SSL/TLS peers.
+- Added automatic mitigation against client-initated TLS renegotiation DoS

-- Added support for independent peer cert and host name verification when
