  * `X509StoreBuilder::add_cert` takes a reference.
  * `hyper` 0.x support has been removed. Use `hyper` 1.x.
 
+To support both v4 and v5, add `boring = ">=4.22,<6"` to `Cargo.toml`. If you need to auto-detect the version selected, add `boring-sys = ">=4.22,<6"` as a direct dependency, and in your `build.rs` check if `DEP_BORINGSSL_VERSION_MAJOR` env var is set to `5`. Versions older than 5.2.0 don't set it.
