For anyone else confused by the sudden version number bump, which isn't obviously explained in the linked changelog:
- OpenSSL is switching to (basically) SemVer, where the major version indicates API/ABI compatibility
- 2.x version numbers were already used by the OpenSSL FIPS library, so by bumping everything to 3.x the OpenSSL and OpenSSL FIPS version numbers will be in sync
