We try to keep the API stable, and I think we are not that bad at it.
(This does not yet apply for binary compatibility. You have to recompile
when changing the OpenSSL release.)
On the other hand we know, that the API is somewhat limited in several
parts (e.g. certificate chain support for the client_certificate_callback),
so that we might have to introduce some changes in order to get some
issues resolved.
