That is one of the big differences.

IINM, other big differences include:

- SSL2 support disabled, client hellos are now SSL3, not SSL2.
- Added support for TLS hello extensions

Of these, I would say that TLS hello extensions have experienced the
most problems, due to servers that do not ignore them (which the RFCs
require) and instead reject the connections.

The removal of SSL2 support has led to problems with SSL2-only servers.

The removal of support for the old "export" ciphers has also caused
some problems, but I'd say not as many as either of the other two.
