Why do you not have sha-256 values for the Windows installer?  Or a
detached GPG signature for it?

>   - Removed the limit of 63 stunnel.conf sections on Win32 platform.

>     to start due to a critical error.
> * Bugfixes
>   - LD_PRELOAD Solaris compatibility bug fixed (thx to Norm Jacobs).
>   - CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS replaced with CRYPTO_num_locks() to improve binary
>     compatibility with diverse builds of OpenSSL (thx to Norm Jacobs).
>   - Corrected round-robin failover behavior under heavy load.
>   - Numerous fixes in the engine support code.
>   - On Win32 platform .rnd file moved from c:\ to the stunnel folder.
