** libgnutls: gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2 now accepts the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA
flag as documented. This makes it a complete replacement of gnutls_privkey_sign_hash().
+** Marked the crypto cipher registration APIs as deprecated. These APIs are rarely used,
+ are for a niche use case, but have significant side effects, such as preventing any
+ internal re-organization and extension of the internal cipher API. The APIs remain
+ functional though a compiler warning will be issued, and a future minor version update
+ may transform them to a no-op while keeping the ABI compatibility (#789)

** API and ABI modifications:
-No changes since last version.
