+# wolfProvider version 1.0.0 (July 17, 2024)
+
+This is the first release of wolfProvider. It is similar to wolfEngine (which
+creates a library to interface with OpenSSL 1.x). WolfProvider interfaces with
+OpenSSL 3.x using our wolfCrypt cryptography module.
+
+This first release has sample applications for Android as well as XCode (iOS).
+In addition, there are utility scripts added as a convenience for compiling
+all the dependencies of wolfProvider.
+
+Refer to README.md for more details
