80     the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros.
81 nmav 1.14 - Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV).
82     - IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour.

105     April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1)
106     - Bugfixes
107     - Internal changes in mode modules
108     - Changes in the documentation
109    
110     March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0)
111     - Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms.
112     - Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks.
113     - Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version.
114     - Speedups in the library.
115     - The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible
116     with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3).
117     This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was
118     included in the algorithm.
119     - The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma.
120     - Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution.
121     View the manpage for more information.

126     support iv (as the original algorithm does).
127     - Modes for block algorithms are not limited any more to a 256 bit block size.
128     - Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added.

143    
144     February 8th, 2000:
145     - Keygen functionality was added to the cvs version of libmhash.
146     Libmcrypt seems to compile fine.
147    
148     January 21st, 2000:
149     - Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.
150    
151     January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
152     - Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
153     not work.

164     streams of encryption.
165     - Thread locking was changed, in order to allow multiple encryption, and avoid
166     dead locks.
167    
168     December 10th, 1999:

179     - Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian
180     machines.
181    
182     November 29th, 1999:
183     - encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile
184     in some systems.
185     - version number is included in the modules.
186     - mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
187     check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).
188    
189     November 28th, 1999:
190     - MARS was added (as a separate module)
191    
192     November 26th, 1999:
193     - mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt
194     error code.
195     - Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library
196     name.
197     - Documentation was updated.
198    
199     November 25th, 1999:
200     - crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and
201     __setkey() to keep some libcs happy.
202     - Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c.
203     - Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines.
204     - IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution.
205    
206     November 24th, 1999:

220     - Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
221     access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
222     32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
223     you can access more keys.
224    
225     October 16th, 1999:
226     - The new API is completed.
227     - STREAM mode was added.

242     - rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added.
243    
244     September 29th, 1999:
245     - Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory.
246    
247     September 20th, 1999:
248     - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
249     big-endian and little-endian machines.
250     - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
251     not work right in bigendian machines.
252     - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
253    
254     September 19th, 1999
255     - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
256    
257     September 15th, 1999
258     - MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.
259     - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
260     - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
261    
262     September 14th, 1999
263     - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
264     - RC2 code was changed.
265    
266     June 26th, 1999
267     - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
268    
269     June 23th, 1999
270     - RC2 code was cleared.
271     - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
272     RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
273     code a bit modified for mcrypt.
274     - shared library version has changed (at last!)
275    
276     June 22th, 1999
277     - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
278    
279     June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
280     - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
281     differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
282     <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
283    
284     June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
285     - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
286    
287     June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
288     - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
289     do not pollute namespace.
290    
291     May 29th, 1999
292     - test suites added
293     - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
294     - CBC can now accept IV
295     - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
296     thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
297     password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
298     - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
299     gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
300    
301     May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
302     - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
303     - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
304     was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
305     useless.
306     - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
307     experimental.
308    
309     May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
310     - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
311    
312     May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
313     - gen_key() changed
314     - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
