[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#1066116: libssl3: 3.1.4-2 NEWS entry seems incorrect

Package: libssl3
Version: 3.1.5-1
Severity: minor

The news entry for 3.1.4-2 says, "TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 and DTLS 1.0 work only at security level 0 (it was
  previously allowed at security level 0)"

By my reading, this is saying that 3.1.4-2 changes legacy TLS to work only at security level zero,
from the previous state of... them working only at security level zero.  In other words, that there
is no change.

I couldn't find the commit that changed this, so I can't say what the parenthetical should contain;
please consider either dropping the "it was previously allowed..." section, or changing it to
"allowed at security level 2" or whatever the correct answer is.
