Well backward binary compatible. So 0.9.8e may introduce features or include functions not in say 0.9.8d. Some macros were converted into functions in 0.9.8e so this will cause issues when attempting to use 0.9.8e compiled binaries against an earlier version of the library because those functions will not exist. So to answer the OPs question. Ideally users of older versions should upgrade in order to get bug and security fixes. If that isn't practical then compile and link your applications against the lowest version of OpenSSL you will need to be binary compatible with. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
