*** empty log message ***

1 nmav 1.50 December 18 2002: (version 2.5.4)
2 nmav 1.47 - Better win32 detection and DLL building.
3     - Changed some variables names in gost.c to allow compiling

126     - Bugfixes
127     - Internal changes in mode modules
128     - Changes in the documentation
129    
130     March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0)
131     - Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms.
132     - Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks.
133     - Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version.
134     - Speedups in the library.
135     - The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible
136     with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3).
137     This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was
138     included in the algorithm.
139     - The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma.
140     - Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution.

163    
164     February 8th, 2000:
165     - Keygen functionality was added to the cvs version of libmhash.
166     Libmcrypt seems to compile fine.
167    
168     January 21st, 2000:
169     - Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.
170    
171     January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
172     - Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
173     not work.

183     - Included patches by Steve Underwood, to allow an arbitary number of
184     streams of encryption.
185     - Thread locking was changed, in order to allow multiple encryption, and avoid
186     dead locks.

199     - Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian
200     machines.
201    
202     November 29th, 1999:
203     - encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile
204     in some systems.
205     - version number is included in the modules.
206     - mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
207     check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).
208    
209     November 28th, 1999:
210     - MARS was added (as a separate module)
211    
212     November 26th, 1999:
213     - mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt
214     error code.
215     - Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library
216     name.
217     - Documentation was updated.
218    
219     November 25th, 1999:
220     - crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and
221     __setkey() to keep some libcs happy.
222     - Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c.
223     - Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines.
224     - IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution.
225    
226     November 24th, 1999:

238     November 13th, 1999:
239     - Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations.
240     - Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
241     access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
242     32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
243     you can access more keys.
244    
245     October 16th, 1999:
246     - The new API is completed.
247     - STREAM mode was added.

264     September 29th, 1999:
265     - Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory.
266    
267     September 20th, 1999:
268     - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
269     big-endian and little-endian machines.
270     - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
271     not work right in bigendian machines.
272     - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
273    
274     September 19th, 1999
275     - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
276    
277     September 15th, 1999

279     - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
280     - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
281    
282     September 14th, 1999
283     - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
284     - RC2 code was changed.
285    
286     June 26th, 1999
287     - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
288    
289     June 23th, 1999
290     - RC2 code was cleared.
291     - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
292     RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
293     code a bit modified for mcrypt.
294     - shared library version has changed (at last!)
295    
296     June 22th, 1999
297     - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
298    
299     June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
300     - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
301     differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
302     <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
303    
304     June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
305     - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
306    
307     June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
308     - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
309     do not pollute namespace.
310    
311     May 29th, 1999
312     - test suites added
313     - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
314     - CBC can now accept IV
315     - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
316     thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
317     password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
318     - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
319     gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
320    
321     May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
322     - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
323     - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
324     was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
325     useless.
326     - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
327     experimental.
328    
329     May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
330     - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
331    
332     May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
333     - gen_key() changed
334     - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
