March 18th 2001: (version 2.4.10) |
2 |
- Corrected bugs in blowfish and blowfish-compat |
3 |
|
4 |
January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta) |
5 |
- Due to an endianness handling problem Blowfish algorithm was not compatible |
6 |
with other implementations. Now it has been corrected. If you want |
7 |
to access the old algorithm used use the "blowfish-compat" module. |
8 |
- Fixes in mcrypt_list_algorithms() for some systems. Bugs pointed out by |
9 |
Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au> |
10 |
- Fixes in stream mode. |
11 |
- mcrypt_generic_init() no longer fails if smaller key is used. It uses |
12 |
the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros. |
13 |
- Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV). |
14 |
- IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour. |
15 |
- mcrypt_generic_deinit() function added. |
16 |
|
17 |
January 1st 2001: (version 2.4.8) |
18 |
- Corrected bug in rijndael-256 (reported by: Sami Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>) |
19 |
This makes the algorithm incompatible with previous versions. |
20 |
|
21 |
October 20th 2000: (version 2.4.6) |
22 |
- Compiles under win32 using cygwin (with -mno-cygwin) |
23 |
- Added mcrypt_strerror() |
24 |
|
25 |
September 18th 2000: (version 2.4.5) |
26 |
- Updates in the documentation |
27 |
- Libmcrypt can now be used without libltdl (in systems where libdl is present) |
28 |
- Added the mcrypt_enc_set_state() function. |
29 |
- Speedups in the blowfish algorithm |
30 |
|
31 |
May 12th, 2000: (version 2.4.4) |
32 |

33 |
|
34 |
April 3rd, 2000: (version 2.4.2) |
35 |

36 |
|
37 |
April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1) |
38 |

- Changes in the documentation |
41 |
|
42 |
March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0) |
43 |
- Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms. |
44 |
- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
45 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
46 |
- Speedups in the library. |
47 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
48 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
49 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
50 |
included in the algorithm. |
51 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
52 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
53 |
View the manpage for more information. |
54 |
|
55 |
March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
56 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |
57 |
- Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not |
58 |
support iv (as the original algorithm does). |
59 |

60 |
- Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added. |
61 |

66 |
|
67 |
February 27th, 2000: |
68 |
- A slightly modified version of libmcrypt 2.2.4 was released in order |
69 |
for mcrypt 2.5.0 to be able to compile against that series of libmcrypt. |
70 |
|
71 |
February 22, 2000: |

75 |
|
76 |
February 8th, 2000: |
77 |
- Keygen functionality was added to the cvs version of libmhash. |
78 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
79 |
|
80 |
January 21st, 2000: |
81 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
82 |
|
83 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
84 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
85 |
not work. |
86 |

87 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |
88 |
|
89 |

95 |
- Included patches by Steve Underwood, to allow an arbitary number of |
96 |
streams of encryption. |
97 |

|
110 |
November 30th, 1999: |
111 |
- Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian |
112 |
machines. |
113 |
|
114 |
November 29th, 1999: |
115 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
116 |
in some systems. |
117 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
118 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
119 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
120 |
|
121 |
November 28th, 1999: |
122 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
123 |
|
124 |
November 26th, 1999: |
125 |

126 |
error code. |
127 |
- Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library |
128 |
name. |
129 |
- Documentation was updated. |
130 |
|
131 |
November 25th, 1999: |
132 |
- crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and |
133 |
__setkey() to keep some libcs happy. |
134 |
- Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c. |
135 |
- Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines. |
136 |
- IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution. |
137 |
|
138 |
November 24th, 1999: |
139 |
- sdes key generation module was corrected. Now it works fine with |
140 |
des(1). |
141 |
|
142 |
November 20th, 1999: |
143 |
- Mcrypt is now modular. Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules, can |
144 |
be loaded dynamically. |
145 |
|
146 |
November 17th, 1999: |
147 |

148 |
- WAKE stream algorithm was added (experimental). |
149 |
|
150 |
November 13th, 1999: |
151 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
152 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
153 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
154 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
155 |
you can access more keys. |
156 |
|
157 |
October 16th, 1999: |
158 |
- The new API is completed. |

- rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added. |
175 |
|
176 |
September 29th, 1999: |
177 |

178 |
|
179 |
September 20th, 1999: |
180 |
- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in |
181 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
182 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
183 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
184 |
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed. |
185 |
|
186 |
September 19th, 1999 |
187 |
- SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
188 |
|
189 |
September 15th, 1999 |
190 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
191 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
192 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
193 |
|
194 |
September 14th, 1999 |
195 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
196 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
197 |
|
198 |
June 26th, 1999 |
199 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
200 |
|
201 |
June 23th, 1999 |
202 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
203 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
204 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
205 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
206 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
207 |
|
208 |
June 22th, 1999 |
209 |
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added. |
210 |
|
211 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
212 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
213 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
214 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
215 |
|
216 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
217 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
218 |
|
219 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
220 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
221 |
do not pollute namespace. |
222 |
|
223 |
May 29th, 1999 |
224 |
- test suites added |
225 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
226 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
227 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
228 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
229 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
230 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
231 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
232 |
|
233 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
234 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
235 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
236 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
237 |
useless. |
238 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
239 |
experimental. |
240 |
|
241 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
242 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
243 |
|
244 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
245 |
- gen_key() changed |
246 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
