- Changes in the documentation |
11 |
|
12 |
March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0) |
13 |
- Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms. |
14 |
- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
15 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
16 |
- Speedups in the library. |
17 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
18 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
19 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
20 |
included in the algorithm. |
21 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
22 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
23 |
View the manpage for more information. |
24 |
|
25 |
March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
26 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |
27 |
- Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not |
28 |
support iv (as the original algorithm does). |
29 |
- Modes for block algorithms are not limited any more to a 256 bit block size. |
30 |
- Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added. |
31 |
- mcrypt_get_algo_key_size(), mcrypt_get_algo_block_size() functions |
32 |
were added. |
33 |
|
34 |
February 28th, 2000: (version 2.3.3) |
35 |
- Some dlsyms were cached causing a 50% increase in speed. |
36 |
|
37 |
February 27th, 2000: |
38 |
- A slightly modified version of libmcrypt 2.2.4 was released in order |
39 |
for mcrypt 2.5.0 to be able to compile against that series of libmcrypt. |
40 |
|
41 |
February 22, 2000: |
42 |
- mcrypt_is_block_algorithm_mode(), mcrypt_is_block_mode(), |
43 |
mcrypt_is_block_algorithm(), functions were added. |
44 |
- Bugfixes in the mcrypt_module_self_test(). |
45 |
|
46 |
February 8th, 2000: |
47 |
- Keygen functionality was added to the cvs version of libmhash. |
48 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
49 |
|
50 |
January 21st, 2000: |
51 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
52 |
|
53 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
54 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
55 |
not work. |
56 |
- keygen functionality was removed. It will be added to libmhash |
57 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |
58 |
|
59 |
January 13th, 2000: |
60 |
- Changed the sha-1 algorithm implementation |
61 |

62 |
- arcfour was added. |
63 |
|
64 |
December 12th, 1999: |
65 |
- Included patches by Steve Underwood, to allow an arbitary number of |
66 |
streams of encryption. |
67 |
- Thread locking was changed, in order to allow multiple encryption, and avoid |
68 |
dead locks. |
69 |
|
70 |
December 10th, 1999: |
71 |
- Wake algorithm now supports IV. |
72 |
|
73 |

79 |
|
80 |
November 30th, 1999: |
81 |
- Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian |
82 |
machines. |
83 |
|
84 |
November 29th, 1999: |
85 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
86 |
in some systems. |
87 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
88 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
89 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
90 |
|
91 |
November 28th, 1999: |
92 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
93 |
|
94 |
November 26th, 1999: |
95 |
- mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt |
96 |
error code. |
97 |
- Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library |
98 |
name. |
99 |
- Documentation was updated. |
100 |
|
101 |
November 25th, 1999: |
102 |
- crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and |
103 |
__setkey() to keep some libcs happy. |
104 |
- Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c. |
105 |
- Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines. |
106 |
- IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution. |
107 |
|
108 |
November 24th, 1999: |
109 |
- sdes key generation module was corrected. Now it works fine with |
110 |
des(1). |
111 |
|
112 |
November 20th, 1999: |
113 |
- Mcrypt is now modular. Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules, can |
114 |
be loaded dynamically. |
115 |
|
116 |
November 17th, 1999: |
117 |

119 |
|
120 |
November 13th, 1999: |
121 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
122 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
123 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
124 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
125 |
you can access more keys. |
126 |
|
127 |
October 16th, 1999: |
128 |
- The new API is completed. |
129 |
- STREAM mode was added. |

- rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added. |
145 |
|
146 |
September 29th, 1999: |
147 |
- Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory. |
148 |
|
149 |
September 20th, 1999: |
150 |
- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in |
151 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
152 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
153 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
154 |
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed. |
155 |
|
156 |
September 19th, 1999 |
157 |
- SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
158 |
|
159 |
September 15th, 1999 |
160 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
161 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
162 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
163 |
|
164 |
September 14th, 1999 |
165 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
166 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
167 |
|
168 |
June 26th, 1999 |
169 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
170 |
|
171 |
June 23th, 1999 |
172 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
173 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
174 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
175 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
176 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
177 |
|
178 |
June 22th, 1999 |
179 |
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added. |
180 |
|
181 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
182 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
183 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
184 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
185 |
|
186 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
187 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
188 |
|
189 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
190 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
191 |
do not pollute namespace. |
192 |
|
193 |
May 29th, 1999 |
194 |
- test suites added |
195 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
196 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
197 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
198 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
199 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
200 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
201 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
202 |
|
203 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
204 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
205 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
206 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
207 |
useless. |
208 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
209 |
experimental. |
210 |
|
211 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
212 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
213 |
|
214 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
215 |
- gen_key() changed |
216 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
