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

124     - Added missing symbols.
125    
126     April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1)
127     - Bugfixes
128     - Internal changes in mode modules
129     - Changes in the documentation
130    
131     March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0)
132     - Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms.
133     - Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks.
134     - Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version.
135     - Speedups in the library.
136     - The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible
137     with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3).
138     This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was
139     included in the algorithm.
140     - The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma.
141     - Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution.

149     - Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added.
150     - mcrypt_get_algo_key_size(), mcrypt_get_algo_block_size() functions
151     were added.
152    
153     February 28th, 2000: (version 2.3.3)

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

184     - Included patches by Steve Underwood, to allow an arbitary number of
185     streams of encryption.
186     - Thread locking was changed, in order to allow multiple encryption, and avoid
187     dead locks.
188    
189     December 10th, 1999:

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

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

263     - rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added.
264    
265     September 29th, 1999:
266     - Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory.
267    
268     September 20th, 1999:
269     - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
270     big-endian and little-endian machines.
271     - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
272     not work right in bigendian machines.
273     - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
274    
275     September 19th, 1999
276     - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
277    
278     September 15th, 1999
279     - MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.
280     - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
281     - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
282    
283     September 14th, 1999
284     - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
285     - RC2 code was changed.
286    
287     June 26th, 1999
288     - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
289    
290     June 23th, 1999
291     - RC2 code was cleared.
292     - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
293     RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
294     code a bit modified for mcrypt.
295     - shared library version has changed (at last!)
296    
297     June 22th, 1999
298     - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
299    
300     June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
301     - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
302     differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
303     <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
304    
305     June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
306     - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
307    
308     June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
309     - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
310     do not pollute namespace.
311    
312     May 29th, 1999
313     - test suites added
314     - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
315     - CBC can now accept IV
316     - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
317     thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
318     password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
319     - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
320     gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
321    
322     May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
323     - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
324     - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
325     was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
326     useless.
327     - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
328     experimental.
329    
330     May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
331     - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
332    
333     May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
334     - gen_key() changed
335     - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
