+* Tue Jan  3 2017 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> - 1.79-1
+- Update to 1.79
+  - Patch to fix a few inline variable declarations that cause errors for older
+    compilers
+  - Patch: Generated C code is not compatible with MSVC, AIX cc, probably
+    others; added some PREINIT blocks and replaced 2 cases of INIT with PREINIT
+  - Fix compile failure if the OpenSSL library it's built against has
+    compression support compiled out
+  - Added RSA_get_key_parameters() to return a list of pointers to RSA key
+    internals (only available prior to OpenSSL 1.1)
+  - Fix some documentation typos
+  - Testing with openssl-1.1.0b
+
 * Wed Oct 12 2016 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> - 1.78-2
 - Rebuild for OpenSSL 1.1.0 in Fedora 26
