Is it possible to use openssl 1.1.1 as a drop-in replacement for

Well ... mostly.  It's *supposed* to be, but there are some places where
behavior had to change to get TLS 1.3 support, and some of those changes
are on the boundary of "breaks functioning code" and "your code was doing
unsupported/undocumented things".  (Unfortunately, I don't have any
examples off the top of my head.)


If there are important changes (like introducing TLS 1.3 or others,
modifying the api), isn't it custom to change the SONAME, making sure
that shared objects for old and new api can be installed in parallel?
