- Updated mcrypt_mutex_register() |
4 |
|
5 |
May 17th 2001: (version 2.4.12) |

10 |
March 18th 2001: (version 2.4.10) |
11 |
- Corrected bugs in blowfish and blowfish-compat |
12 |
|
13 |
January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta) |
14 |
- Due to an endianness handling problem Blowfish algorithm was not compatible |
15 |
with other implementations. Now it has been corrected. If you want |
16 |
to access the old algorithm used use the "blowfish-compat" module. |
17 |
- Fixes in mcrypt_list_algorithms() for some systems. Bugs pointed out by |
18 |
Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au> |
19 |
- Fixes in stream mode. |
20 |
- mcrypt_generic_init() no longer fails if smaller key is used. It uses |
21 |
the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros. |
22 |
- Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV). |
23 |
- IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour. |
24 |
- mcrypt_generic_deinit() function added. |
25 |
|
26 |
January 1st 2001: (version 2.4.8) |
27 |
- Corrected bug in rijndael-256 (reported by: Sami Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>) |
28 |
This makes the algorithm incompatible with previous versions. |
29 |
|
30 |
October 20th 2000: (version 2.4.6) |
31 |
- Compiles under win32 using cygwin (with -mno-cygwin) |

- Added mcrypt_strerror() |
33 |
|
34 |
September 18th 2000: (version 2.4.5) |
35 |

38 |
- Speedups in the blowfish algorithm |
39 |
|
40 |
May 12th, 2000: (version 2.4.4) |

|
51 |
March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0) |
52 |
- Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms. |
53 |
- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
54 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
55 |
- Speedups in the library. |
56 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
57 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
58 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
59 |
included in the algorithm. |
60 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
61 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
62 |
View the manpage for more information. |
63 |
|
64 |
March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
65 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |
66 |
- Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not |
67 |

69 |
- Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added. |

|
80 |

87 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
88 |
|
89 |
January 21st, 2000: |
90 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
91 |
|
92 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
93 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
94 |
not work. |
95 |

96 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |
97 |
|

105 |
streams of encryption. |

120 |
- Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian |
121 |
machines. |
122 |
|
123 |
November 29th, 1999: |
124 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
125 |
in some systems. |
126 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
127 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
128 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
129 |
|
130 |
November 28th, 1999: |
131 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
132 |
|

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

153 |
be loaded dynamically. |

|
155 |
November 17th, 1999: |
156 |

- WAKE stream algorithm was added (experimental). |
158 |
|
159 |
November 13th, 1999: |
160 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
161 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
162 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
163 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
164 |
you can access more keys. |
165 |
|
166 |
October 16th, 1999: |
167 |
- The new API is completed. |

- rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added. |
184 |
|
185 |
September 29th, 1999: |
186 |

187 |
|
188 |
September 20th, 1999: |
189 |
- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in |
190 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
191 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
192 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
193 |
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed. |
194 |
|
195 |
September 19th, 1999 |
196 |
- SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
197 |
|
198 |
September 15th, 1999 |
199 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
200 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
201 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
202 |
|
203 |
September 14th, 1999 |
204 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
205 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
206 |
|
207 |
June 26th, 1999 |
208 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
209 |
|
210 |
June 23th, 1999 |
211 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
212 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
213 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
214 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
215 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
216 |
|
217 |
June 22th, 1999 |
218 |
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added. |
219 |
|
220 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
221 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
222 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
223 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
224 |
|
225 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
226 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
227 |
|
228 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
229 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
230 |
do not pollute namespace. |
231 |
|
232 |
May 29th, 1999 |
233 |
- test suites added |
234 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
235 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
236 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
237 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
238 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
239 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
240 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
241 |
|
242 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
243 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
244 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
245 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
246 |
useless. |
247 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
248 |
experimental. |
249 |
|
250 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
251 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
252 |
|
253 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
254 |
- gen_key() changed |
255 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
