2     - Fixes in win32 detection and DLL building.
3     - Fixes for solaris (a symbol was not exported)
4 nmav 1.54 - Corrected bug which made algorithm symbols to be inserted
5     twice in symbol table.
6 nmav 1.53
7 nmav 1.52 December 22 2002: (version 2.5.5)
8 nmav 1.47 - Better win32 detection and DLL building.

129     April 3rd, 2000: (version 2.4.2)
130     - Added missing symbols.
131    
132     April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1)
133     - Bugfixes
134     - Internal changes in mode modules
135     - Changes in the documentation
136    
137     March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0)
138     - Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms.
139     - Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks.
140     - Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version.
141     - Speedups in the library.
142     - The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible
143     with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3).
144     This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was
145     included in the algorithm.
146     - The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma.
147     - Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution.

173     Libmcrypt seems to compile fine.
174    
175     January 21st, 2000:
176     - Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.
177    
178     January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
179     - Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
180     not work.

206     - Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian
207     machines.
208    
209     November 29th, 1999:
210     - encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile
211     in some systems.
212     - version number is included in the modules.
213     - mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
214     check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).
215    
216     November 28th, 1999:
217     - MARS was added (as a separate module)
218    
219     November 26th, 1999:
220     - mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt
221     error code.
222     - Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library
223     name.
224     - Documentation was updated.
225    
226     November 25th, 1999:
227     - crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and
228     __setkey() to keep some libcs happy.
229     - Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c.
230     - Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines.
231     - IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution.
232

245     November 13th, 1999:
246     - Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations.
247     - Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
248     access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
249     32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
250     you can access more keys.
251    
252     October 16th, 1999:
253     - The new API is completed.
254     - STREAM mode was added.

271     September 29th, 1999:
272     - Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory.
273    
274     September 20th, 1999:
275     - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
276     big-endian and little-endian machines.
277     - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
278     not work right in bigendian machines.
279     - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
280    
281     September 19th, 1999
282     - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
283    
284     September 15th, 1999
285     - MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.
286     - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
287     - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
288    
289     September 14th, 1999
290     - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
291     - RC2 code was changed.
292    
293     June 26th, 1999
294     - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
295    
296     June 23th, 1999
297     - RC2 code was cleared.
298     - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
299     RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
300     code a bit modified for mcrypt.
301     - shared library version has changed (at last!)
302    
303     June 22th, 1999
304     - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
305    
306     June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
307     - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
308     differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
309     <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
310    
311     June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
312     - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
313    
314     June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
315     - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
316     do not pollute namespace.
317    
318     May 29th, 1999
319     - test suites added
320     - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
321     - CBC can now accept IV
322     - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
323     thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
324     password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
325     - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
326     gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
327    
328     May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
329     - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
330     - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
331     was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
332     useless.
333     - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
334     experimental.
335    
336     May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
337     - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
338    
339     May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
340     - gen_key() changed
341     - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
