 Bugfix
+   * Fixed a bug causing some handshakes to fail due to some non-fatal alerts
+     not being properly ignored. Found by mancha and Kasom Koht-arsa, #308

      size/curve against the profile. Before that, there was no way to set a
      minimum key size for end-entity certificates with RSA keys. Found by
