OpenSSL 3.0.0-alpha1 was releases about a week ago. OpenSSL 1.1.x APIs are still functional. However some APIs have been deprecated and FIPS (usedforsecurity flag) is no longer functional.

• One shot HMAC() is deprecated and should be replaced with EVP_MAC API calls
• ERR_func_error_string() is deprecated
• OpenSSL has introduced a new concept of crypto providers (OSSL_PROVIDER), library context (OPENSSL_CTX) and additional flags. A new function EVP_MD_fetch() has been introduced.
• FIPS support has been rewritten and is now shipped with OpenSSL 3.0.0. EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW is no longer supported. FIPS state is no longer part of EVP_MD_CTX but of EVP_MD.

Simple benchmark with openssl-3.0.0-5.el9.x86_64

With custom EVP_MD cache:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from hashlib import md5" "md5(b'12345678', usedforsecurity=False).digest()"500000 loops, best of 5: 520 nsec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from hashlib import sha512" "sha512(b'12345678', usedforsecurity=False).digest()"
500000 loops, best of 5: 730 nsec per loop

Without EVP_MD cache:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from hashlib import md5" "md5(b'', usedforsecurity=False).digest()"
500000 loops, best of 5: 807 nsec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "from hashlib import sha512" "sha512(b'12345678', usedforsecurity=False).digest()"
200000 loops, best of 5: 1.03 usec per loop
