OpenSSL-0.9.8 final was released in early July, can we upgrade from 0.9.7f now? Since we're still a way from the FC5 test1 freeze, I would say now is as good time as ever to make the move.. There look to be _lots_ of good changes in 0.9.8 compared to 0.9.7f (see http://cvs.openssl.org/getfile?f=openssl/CHANGES )
I'm waiting for 0.9.8a to be released since there are already ABI breaking commits in CVS after 0.9.8 release.
