      extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
      correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
      leading content octet. Fixes #1610.
+   * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
+     mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
+     This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
+     client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
+     due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
+     updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
+     Illya Gerasymchuk.
 
 Changes
    * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
