The 5.6.5 release was mostly a maintenance release. The release included two CVE fixes.
The first, CVE-2016-7420, was a procedural finding due to external build systems failing to define NDEBUG for release builds. The gap was the project's failure to tell users to define NDEBUG. The second, CVE-2016-7544, was a potential memory corruption on Windows platforms when using Microsoft compilers due to use of _malloca and _freea.
Due to CVE-2016-7420 and the possibility for an unwanted assert to egress data, users and distros are encouraged to recompile the library and all dependent programs.
* Update buildlink3.mk.

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
5.2 - merged in changes for 5.01 - 5.0.4
- added support for using encoding parameters and key derivation parameters
with public key encryption (implemented by OAEP and DL/ECIES)

RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, Base-32 coding
- added ThreadUserTimer for timing thread CPU usage
- added option for password-based key derivation functions
to iterate until a mimimum elapsed thread CPU time is reached
- added option (on by default) for DEFLATE compression to detect
uncompressible files and process them more quickly
- improved compatibility and performance on 64-bit platforms,
including Alpha, IA-64, x86-64, PPC64, Sparc64, and MIPS64
- fixed ONE_AND_ZEROS_PADDING to use 0x80 instead 0x01 as padding.
- fixed encoding/decoding of PKCS #8 privateKeyInfo to properly
handle optional attributes
5.2.1 - fixed bug in the "dlltest" DLL testing program
- fixed compiling with STLport using VC .NET
