   New Features in CDSA V2.2

   - Full support for Secure Delivery, a mechanism used to produce and
     validate digital signatures for PCSI kits to be installed on OpenVMS.

   - Version 0.9.7E of the OpenSSL crypto routines.

   New features in CDSA V2.1

   - The ability to use CDSA$SIGN.EXE to create manifests for generic
     files, rather than just executable files.

   - CDSA$VALIDATE.EXE, which allows checking a generic manifest
     against the file for which it was created.  Also available is
     the new routine CDSA_FileValidate, which can be called
     programmatically to perform the same function.

   New features in CDSA V2.0

   - The tools to let application developers create certificates and
     sign their applications and optionally participate in bilateral

   - The tools to allow developers to create new plug-in modules
     written for an existing category of service, and to have the
     modules participate in bilateral authentication with CSSM.

   - The tools to allow developers to create new categories of
     service and write plug-in modules to the new interface (and
     participate in bilateral authentication with CSSM).

   - New example programs to demonstrate the steps for writing
     and signing applications and plugin modules.

   - Version 0.9.6G of the OpenSSL crypto routines.
