### Changes between 3.4 and 3.5 [xx XXX xxxx]
* A new random generation API has been introduced which modifies all
of the L<RAND_bytes(3)> family of calls so they are routed through a
specific named provider instead of being resolved via the normal DRBG
chaining. In a future OpenSSL release, this will obsolete RAND_METHOD.
*Dr Paul Dale*
* New inline functions were added to support loads and stores of unsigned
16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit integers in either little-endian or big-endian
form, regardless of the host byte-order. See the `OPENSSL_load_u16_le(3)`
