1. openssl-devel-1.0.0-0.10

const SSL_METHOD *SSLv23_method(void);	/* SSLv3 but can rollback to v2
*/
const SSL_METHOD *TLSv1_method(void);		/* TLSv1.0 */


2. http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/ssl.html

const SSL_METHOD *SSLv2_method(void);
        
        Constructor for the SSLv2 SSL_METHOD structure for combined
        client and server.
const SSL_METHOD *TLSv1_method(void);
        
        Constructor for the TLSv1 SSL_METHOD structure for combined
        client and server.

3. it maybe fixes warnings for other version.
