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

148    
149     February 8th, 2000:
150     - Keygen functionality was added to the cvs version of libmhash.
151     Libmcrypt seems to compile fine.
152    
153     January 21st, 2000:
154     - Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.
155    
156     January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
157     - Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
158     not work.

169     streams of encryption.
170     - Thread locking was changed, in order to allow multiple encryption, and avoid
171     dead locks.
172    
173     December 10th, 1999:

184     - Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian
185     machines.
186    
187     November 29th, 1999:
188     - encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile
189     in some systems.
190     - version number is included in the modules.
191     - mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
192     check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).
193    
194     November 28th, 1999:
195     - MARS was added (as a separate module)
196    
197     November 26th, 1999:
198     - mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt
199     error code.
200     - Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library
201     name.
202     - Documentation was updated.
203    
204     November 25th, 1999:
205     - crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and
206     __setkey() to keep some libcs happy.
207     - Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c.
208     - Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines.
209     - IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution.
210    
211     November 24th, 1999:

223     November 13th, 1999:
224     - Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations.
225     - Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
226     access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
227     32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
228     you can access more keys.
229    
230     October 16th, 1999:
231     - The new API is completed.
232     - STREAM mode was added.

250     - Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory.
251    
252     September 20th, 1999:
253     - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
254     big-endian and little-endian machines.
255     - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
256     not work right in bigendian machines.
257     - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
258    
259     September 19th, 1999
260     - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
261    
262     September 15th, 1999
263     - MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.
264     - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
265     - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
266    
267     September 14th, 1999
268     - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
269     - RC2 code was changed.
270    
271     June 26th, 1999
272     - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
273    
274     June 23th, 1999
275     - RC2 code was cleared.
276     - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
277     RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
278     code a bit modified for mcrypt.
279     - shared library version has changed (at last!)
280    
281     June 22th, 1999
282     - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
283    
284     June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
285     - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
286     differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
287     <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
288    
289     June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
290     - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
291    
292     June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
293     - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
294     do not pollute namespace.
295    
296     May 29th, 1999
297     - test suites added
298     - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
299     - CBC can now accept IV
300     - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
301     thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
302     password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
303     - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
304     gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
305    
306     May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
307     - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
308     - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
309     was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
310     useless.
311     - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
312     experimental.
313    
314     May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
315     - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
316    
317     May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
318     - gen_key() changed
319     - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
