**OpenSSL 4.0.0 release notes:** OpenSSL 4.0.0 removes long-deprecated features (SSLv3, SSLv2 Client Hello, engine API and several deprecated EVP/ERR functions), adds support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) and several post‑quantum-related primitives, and introduces API, behavior, build, and tooling changes that may require application code updates or configuration adjustments.
