The forthcoming release will be the last release where I test on OpenSSL 0.9.8 (upstream EOL was December 31, 2015; last distro to support it was RHEL5, which is now in ELS since March 31, 2017).
The new lowest-supported version will be OpenSSL 1.0.1. Notably it is used in Debian Jessie, RHEL6, Ubuntu 12.04 (still used in Travis-CI by default!) and is the last release before LibreSSL forked off.
