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 - Fixes in stream mode.
54 - 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 - mcrypt_generic_deinit() function added.

73
74 May 12th, 2000: (version 2.4.4)
75 - Added Panama algorithm
76
77 April 3rd, 2000: (version 2.4.2)
78 - Added missing symbols.
79
80 April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1)
81 - Bugfixes
82 - Internal changes in mode modules
83 - Changes in the documentation
84
85 March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0)
86 - Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms.
87 - 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
98 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).
102 - Modes for block algorithms are not limited any more to a 256 bit block size.
103 - Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added.
104 - mcrypt_get_algo_key_size(), mcrypt_get_algo_block_size() functions
105 were added.
106
107 February 28th, 2000: (version 2.3.3)
108 - Some dlsyms were cached causing a 50% increase in speed.
109
110 February 27th, 2000:
111 - A slightly modified version of libmcrypt 2.2.4 was released in order
112 for mcrypt 2.5.0 to be able to compile against that series of libmcrypt.
113
114 February 22, 2000:
115 - mcrypt_is_block_algorithm_mode(), mcrypt_is_block_mode(),
116 mcrypt_is_block_algorithm(), functions were added.
117 - Bugfixes in the mcrypt_module_self_test().
118
119 February 8th, 2000:
120 - Keygen functionality was added to the cvs version of libmhash.
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
131
132 January 13th, 2000:
133 - Changed the sha-1 algorithm implementation
134 - mcrypt_get_iv_size now calls the specified mode, not the algorithm

136
137 December 12th, 1999:
138 - Included patches by Steve Underwood, to allow an arbitary number of
139 streams of encryption.

150 - Bug fixes in the panama and xtea algorithms.
151 - The version of the module now can be checked at run-time (check mcrypt.h)
152
153 November 30th, 1999:
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 November 26th, 1999:
168 - mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt
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:

183 des(1).
184
185 November 20th, 1999:

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.
202 - STREAM mode was added.
203 - RC4 was added.

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 - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
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)
