== Converting code to be compatible with both OpenSSL 1.0.x and 1.1.x ==

Small correction to the example at [[1.1_API_Changes#Adding_forward-compatible_code_to_older_versions]]:

<tt>HMAC_CTX_reset</tt>, and <tt>EVP_MD_CTX_free</tt> are OpenSSL 1.1 APIs themselves so their use should be avoided in the <tt>#if</tt> section.

Suggested example:

<code>
 #if (OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000L) || defined (LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER)
 static HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void)
 {
    HMAC_CTX *ctx = OPENSSL_malloc(sizeof(*ctx));
    if (ctx != NULL)
        HMAC_CTX_init(ctx);
    return ctx;
 }
 
 static void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx)
 {
    if (ctx != NULL) {
        HMAC_CTX_cleanup(ctx);
        OPENSSL_free(ctx);
    }
 }
 #endif
</code>

Similarly examples for other APIs that I encountered:
<code>
 #if (OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000L) || defined (LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER)
 #define EVP_MD_CTX_new EVP_MD_CTX_create
 #define EVP_MD_CTX_free EVP_MD_CTX_destroy
 #endif
 
 #if (OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000L) || defined(LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER)
 #define ASN1_STRING_get0_data(x) ASN1_STRING_data(x)
 #endif
</code>

== Please update the "No longer works" section ==

That section is ''seriously'' outdated.
