#### Features implemented in 2.9.5 #### Features implemented in 2.9.5
* Way better coverage of ciphers as most checks are done via sockets, using bash sockets where ever possible * Way better coverage of ciphers as most checks are done via bash sockets where ever possible
* Further tests via TLS sockets and improvements (handshake parsing, completeness, robustness) * Further tests via TLS sockets and improvements (handshake parsing, completeness, robustness)
* Testing 359 default ciphers (``testssl.sh -e/-E``) with a mixture of sockets and openssl. Same speed as with openssl only but addtional ciphers such as post-quantum ciphers, new CHAHA20/POLY1305, CamelliaGCM etc. * Testing 359 default ciphers (``testssl.sh -e/-E``) with a mixture of sockets and openssl.
