No release of OpenSSL has ever been "the previous release plus the minimal patches for a security fix". This isn't a security patch. It's a new release that happens to include some security patches.

It's a security patch in the sense that the only way to get the security patches is to install the new version.

But thanks for the info. That seems like a pretty bad practice when it comes to a lib such as OpenSSL. Having to do changes to the build process to integrate an urgent security fix seems less than optimal.
