May 17th 2001: (version 2.4.11) |
2 |
- Updated libltdl library used |
3 |
- Several fixes in modules |
4 |
|
5 |
March 18th 2001: (version 2.4.10) |
6 |
- Corrected bugs in blowfish and blowfish-compat |
7 |
|
8 |
January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta) |
9 |
- Due to an endianness handling problem Blowfish algorithm was not compatible |
10 |
with other implementations. Now it has been corrected. If you want |
11 |
to access the old algorithm used use the "blowfish-compat" module. |
12 |
- Fixes in mcrypt_list_algorithms() for some systems. Bugs pointed out by |
13 |
Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au> |
14 |
- Fixes in stream mode. |
15 |
- mcrypt_generic_init() no longer fails if smaller key is used. It uses |
16 |
the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros. |
17 |
- Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV). |
18 |
- IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour. |
19 |
- mcrypt_generic_deinit() function added. |
20 |
|
21 |
January 1st 2001: (version 2.4.8) |
22 |
- Corrected bug in rijndael-256 (reported by: Sami Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>) |
23 |
This makes the algorithm incompatible with previous versions. |
24 |
|
25 |
October 20th 2000: (version 2.4.6) |
26 |
- Compiles under win32 using cygwin (with -mno-cygwin) |
27 |
- Added mcrypt_strerror() |
28 |
|
29 |
September 18th 2000: (version 2.4.5) |
30 |
- Updates in the documentation |
31 |
- Libmcrypt can now be used without libltdl (in systems where libdl is present) |
32 |

33 |
- Speedups in the blowfish algorithm |
34 |
|
35 |
May 12th, 2000: (version 2.4.4) |

40 |
|
41 |
April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1) |

|
46 |
March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0) |
47 |
- Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms. |
48 |
- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
49 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
50 |
- Speedups in the library. |
51 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
52 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
53 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
54 |
included in the algorithm. |
55 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
56 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
57 |
View the manpage for more information. |
58 |
|
59 |
March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
60 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |
61 |
- Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not |
62 |
support iv (as the original algorithm does). |

64 |
- Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added. |
65 |

|
71 |
February 27th, 2000: |
72 |

74 |
|
75 |
February 22, 2000: |

79 |
|
80 |
February 8th, 2000: |
81 |

82 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
83 |
|
84 |
January 21st, 2000: |
85 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
86 |
|
87 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
88 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
89 |
not work. |
90 |

91 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |
92 |
|
93 |

99 |
- Included patches by Steve Underwood, to allow an arbitary number of |
100 |
streams of encryption. |
101 |

|
114 |
November 30th, 1999: |
115 |
- Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian |
116 |
machines. |
117 |
|
118 |
November 29th, 1999: |
119 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
120 |
in some systems. |
121 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
122 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
123 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
124 |
|
125 |
November 28th, 1999: |
126 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
127 |
|
128 |
November 26th, 1999: |

130 |
error code. |
131 |
- Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library |
132 |
name. |
133 |
- Documentation was updated. |
134 |
|
135 |
November 25th, 1999: |
136 |
- crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and |
137 |
__setkey() to keep some libcs happy. |
138 |
- Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c. |
139 |
- Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines. |
140 |
- IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution. |
141 |
|
142 |
November 24th, 1999: |
143 |
- sdes key generation module was corrected. Now it works fine with |
144 |
des(1). |
145 |
|
146 |
November 20th, 1999: |
147 |
- Mcrypt is now modular. Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules, can |
148 |
be loaded dynamically. |
149 |
|
150 |
November 17th, 1999: |
151 |

153 |
|
154 |
November 13th, 1999: |
155 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
156 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
157 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
158 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
159 |
you can access more keys. |
160 |
|
161 |
October 16th, 1999: |
162 |
- The new API is completed. |

- rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added. |
179 |
|
180 |
September 29th, 1999: |
181 |
- Minor bugfixes and optimization in the library. Now it uses less memory. |
182 |
|
183 |
September 20th, 1999: |
184 |
- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in |
185 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
186 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
187 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
188 |
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed. |
189 |
|
190 |
September 19th, 1999 |
191 |
- SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
192 |
|
193 |
September 15th, 1999 |
194 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
195 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
196 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
197 |
|
198 |
September 14th, 1999 |
199 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
200 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
201 |
|
202 |
June 26th, 1999 |
203 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
204 |
|
205 |
June 23th, 1999 |
206 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
207 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
208 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
209 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
210 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
211 |
|
212 |
June 22th, 1999 |
213 |
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added. |
214 |
|
215 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
216 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
217 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
218 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
219 |
|
220 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
221 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
222 |
|
223 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
224 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
225 |
do not pollute namespace. |
226 |
|
227 |
May 29th, 1999 |
228 |
- test suites added |
229 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
230 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
231 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
232 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
233 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
234 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
235 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
236 |
|
237 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
238 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
239 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
240 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
241 |
useless. |
242 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
243 |
experimental. |
244 |
|
245 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
246 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
247 |
|
248 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
249 |
- gen_key() changed |
250 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
