- Corrected bugs in blowfish and blowfish-compat |
46 |
|
47 |
January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta) |
48 |
- Due to an endianness handling problem Blowfish algorithm was not compatible |
49 |
with other implementations. Now it has been corrected. If you want |
50 |
to access the old algorithm used use the "blowfish-compat" module. |
51 |
- Fixes in mcrypt_list_algorithms() for some systems. Bugs pointed out by |
52 |
Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au> |
53 |

- mcrypt_generic_init() no longer fails if smaller key is used. It uses |
55 |
the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros. |
56 |
- Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV). |
57 |
- IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour. |
58 |

- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
88 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
89 |
- Speedups in the library. |
90 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
91 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
92 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
93 |
included in the algorithm. |
94 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
95 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
96 |
View the manpage for more information. |
97 |
|

March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
99 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |
100 |
- Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not |
101 |
support iv (as the original algorithm does). |

103 |

|
114 |
February 22, 2000: |

121 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
122 |
|
123 |
January 21st, 2000: |
124 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
125 |
|
126 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
127 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
128 |
not work. |
129 |
- keygen functionality was removed. It will be added to libmhash |
130 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |

139 |
streams of encryption. |
140 |

154 |
- Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian |
155 |
machines. |
156 |
|
157 |
November 29th, 1999: |
158 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
159 |
in some systems. |
160 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
161 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
162 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
163 |
|
164 |
November 28th, 1999: |
165 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
166 |
|
167 |

169 |
error code. |
170 |
- Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library |
171 |
name. |
172 |
- Documentation was updated. |
173 |
|
174 |
November 25th, 1999: |
175 |
- crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and |
176 |
__setkey() to keep some libcs happy. |
177 |
- Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c. |
178 |
- Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines. |
179 |
- IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution. |
180 |
|
181 |
November 24th, 1999: |
182 |

183 |
des(1). |
184 |
|
185 |

186 |
- Mcrypt is now modular. Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules, can |
187 |
be loaded dynamically. |
188 |
|
189 |
November 17th, 1999: |
190 |

192 |
|
193 |
November 13th, 1999: |
194 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
195 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
196 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
197 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
198 |
you can access more keys. |
199 |
|
200 |
October 16th, 1999: |
201 |
- The new API is completed. |

- rijndael implementation by Mike Scott was added. |
218 |
|
219 |
September 29th, 1999: |

221 |
|
222 |
September 20th, 1999: |
223 |
- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in |
224 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
225 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
226 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
227 |
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed. |
228 |
|
229 |
September 19th, 1999 |
230 |

231 |
|
232 |
September 15th, 1999 |
233 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
234 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
235 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
236 |
|
237 |
September 14th, 1999 |
238 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
239 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
240 |
|
241 |
June 26th, 1999 |
242 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
243 |
|
244 |
June 23th, 1999 |
245 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
246 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
247 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
248 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
249 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
250 |
|
251 |
June 22th, 1999 |
252 |
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added. |
253 |
|
254 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
255 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
256 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
257 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
258 |
|
259 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
260 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
261 |
|
262 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
263 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
264 |
do not pollute namespace. |
265 |
|
266 |
May 29th, 1999 |
267 |
- test suites added |
268 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
269 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
270 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
271 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
272 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
273 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
274 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
275 |
|
276 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
277 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
278 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
279 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
280 |
useless. |
281 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
282 |
experimental. |
283 |
|
284 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
285 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
286 |
|
287 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
288 |
- gen_key() changed |
289 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
