    NIST P-256). (Daniel Lowrey)
  . New "rsa_key_size" SSL context option gives stream servers control
    over the key size (in bits) used for RSA key agreements. (Daniel Lowrey)
  . Crypto methods for encrypted client and server streams now use
    bitwise flags for fine-grained protocol support. (Daniel Lowrey)
