+ * `CMS_add0_cert()` and `CMS_add1_cert()` no more throw an error
+   if a certificate to be added is already present.
+ * `CMS_sign_ex()` and `CMS_sign()` now ignore any duplicate certificates

  * Fixed and extended `util/check-format.pl` for checking adherence to the
    coding style <https://www.openssl.org/policies/technical/coding-style.html>.
    The checks are meanwhile more complete and yield fewer false positives.
