-
-As of version 0.9.7, RSA_METHOD implementations are grouped together with

=head1 HISTORY
-RSA_new_method() and RSA_set_default_method() appeared in SSLeay 0.8.
-RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and RSA_get_method() as
-well as the rsa_sign and rsa_verify components of RSA_METHOD were
-added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
-
-RSA_set_default_openssl_method() and RSA_get_default_openssl_method()
-replaced RSA_set_default_method() and RSA_get_default_method()
-respectively, and RSA_set_method() and RSA_new_method() were altered to use
-B<ENGINE>s rather than B<RSA_METHOD>s during development of the engine
-version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For 0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the ENGINE
-API was restructured so that this change was reversed, and behaviour of the
-other functions resembled more closely the previous behaviour. The
-behaviour of defaults in the ENGINE API now transparently overrides the
-behaviour of defaults in the RSA API without requiring changing these
-function prototypes.
+The RSA_null_method(), which was a partial attempt to avoid patent issues,
+was replaced to always return NULL in OpenSSL 1.1.0f.
