-OpenSSL Warning
+Notable changes
 ================
 
-OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
-various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
-this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
-forks.
+Mining and relay policy enhancements
+------------------------------------
 
-Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
-as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
+Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
+software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
+libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
+If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
+Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
+If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
+If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
+you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
+achieving its 951/1001 status.

-upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
-OpenSSL.
-
-The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
-behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
-not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
-OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
-can be modified".
-
-We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
-encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
-BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
-as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
-overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
-deploy.
