 Security
+   * With authmode set to MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
+     extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
+     via ssl_get_verify_results()).
 
 Features
    * Add mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info() to display certificate verification results.
