    We have released LibreSSL 2.5.2, which will be arriving in the
    LibreSSL directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon. It includes the following changes:

    * Added the recallocarray(3) memory allocation function, and converted
    various places in the library to use it, such as CBB and BUF_MEM_grow.
    recallocarray(3) is similar to reallocarray. Newly allocated memory
    is cleared similar to calloc(3). Memory that becomes unallocated
    while shrinking or moving existing allocations is explicitly
    discarded by unmapping or clearing to 0.

    * Added new root CAs from SECOM Trust Systems / Security Communication
    of Japan.

    * Added EVP interface for MD5+SHA1 hashes.

    * Fixed DTLS client failures when the server sends a certificate
    request.

    * Corrected handling of padding when upgrading an SSLv2 challenge into
    an SSLv3/TLS connection.

    * Allowed protocols and ciphers to be set on a TLS config object in
    libtls.

    * Improved nc(1) TLS handshake CPU usage and error reporting.

    * New tests, portability improvements, and bug fixes.

    The LibreSSL project continues improvement of the codebase to reflect modern, safe programming practices. We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community. Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release possible.
