No such change was made.  Perhaps your OS distribution has bumped the
default (TLS) security level from 1 (80-bit or more) to 2 (~112 bit or
more).  You can look in the system-wide openssl.cnf file.

The security levels are documented.  You can set the security level
in the cipher string:

    DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=1

or via the API.
