+ * `ASN1_STRING_set()` and `ASN1_STRING_length()` have been
+ deprecated. The replacement functions `ASN1_STRING_set_data()` or
+ `ASN1_STRING_set_string()`, and `ASN1_STRING_length_ex()` should be
+ used in their place. This prepares the ASN1_STRING type to support
+ modern size_t length values in the future.

* `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_num()` and `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_num()' have been deprecated.
