Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
+ EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
+ encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
+ ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
+ to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
+ into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
+ processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
