The EVP digest routines are a high level interface to message digests,
and should be used instead of the cipher-specific functions.
-EVP_MD_CTX_init() initializes digest context B<ctx>.
+EVP_MD_CTX_new() allocates, initializes and returns a digest context.
+
+EVP_MD_CTX_reset() resets the digest context B<ctx>. This can be used
+to reuse an already existing context.
-EVP_MD_CTX_create() allocates, initializes and returns a digest context.
+EVP_MD_CTX_free() cleans up digest context B<ctx> and frees up the
+space allocated to it.
EVP_DigestInit_ex() sets up digest context B<ctx> to use a digest
B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be initialized before calling this

-Stack allocation of EVP_MD_CTX structures is common, for example:
-
- EVP_MD_CTX mctx;
- EVP_MD_CTX_init(&mctx);
-
-This will cause binary compatibility issues if the size of EVP_MD_CTX
-structure changes (this will only happen with a major release of OpenSSL).
-Applications wishing to avoid this should use EVP_MD_CTX_create() instead:

- EVP_MD_CTX *mctx;

=head1 HISTORY
+B<EVP_MD_CTX> became opaque in OpenSSL 1.1. Consequently, stack
+allocated B<EVP_MD_CTX>s are no longer supported.
+
+EVP_MD_CTX_create() and EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() were renamed to
+EVP_MD_CTX_new() and EVP_MD_CTX_free() in OpenSSL 1.1.
+
The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and
later, so now EVP_sha1() can be used with RSA and DSA. The legacy EVP_dss1()
was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0
