67 |
|
68 |
January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta) |
69 |
- Due to an endianness handling problem Blowfish algorithm was not compatible |
70 |
with other implementations. Now it has been corrected. If you want |
71 |
to access the old algorithm used use the "blowfish-compat" module. |
72 |
- Fixes in mcrypt_list_algorithms() for some systems. Bugs pointed out by |
73 |
Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au> |
74 |

the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros. |
77 |
- Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV). |
78 |
- IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour. |

- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
109 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
110 |
- Speedups in the library. |
111 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
112 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
113 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
114 |
included in the algorithm. |
115 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
116 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
117 |
View the manpage for more information. |

March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
120 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |

|
135 |
February 22, 2000: |

142 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
143 |
|
144 |
January 21st, 2000: |
145 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
146 |
|
147 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
148 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
149 |
not work. |
150 |
- keygen functionality was removed. It will be added to libmhash |
151 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |

176 |
machines. |
177 |
|
178 |
November 29th, 1999: |
179 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
180 |
in some systems. |
181 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
182 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
183 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
184 |
|
185 |
November 28th, 1999: |
186 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
187 |
|

190 |
error code. |
191 |
- Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library |
192 |
name. |
193 |
- Documentation was updated. |
194 |
|
195 |
November 25th, 1999: |
196 |
- crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and |
197 |
__setkey() to keep some libcs happy. |
198 |
- Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c. |
199 |
- Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines. |
200 |
- IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution. |
201 |
|
202 |
November 24th, 1999: |
203 |

204 |
des(1). |
205 |
|
206 |

208 |
be loaded dynamically. |
209 |
|
210 |
November 17th, 1999: |
211 |

|
214 |
November 13th, 1999: |
215 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
216 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
217 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
218 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
219 |
you can access more keys. |
220 |
|
221 |
October 16th, 1999: |
222 |
- The new API is completed. |

242 |
|
243 |
September 20th, 1999: |
244 |

245 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
246 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
247 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
248 |

249 |
|
250 |
September 19th, 1999 |

252 |
|
253 |
September 15th, 1999 |
254 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
255 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
256 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
257 |
|
258 |
September 14th, 1999 |
259 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
260 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
261 |
|
262 |
June 26th, 1999 |
263 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
264 |
|
265 |
June 23th, 1999 |
266 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
267 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
268 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
269 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
270 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
271 |
|
272 |
June 22th, 1999 |
273 |

274 |
|
275 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
276 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
277 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
278 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
279 |
|
280 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
281 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
282 |
|
283 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
284 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
285 |
do not pollute namespace. |
286 |
|
287 |
May 29th, 1999 |
288 |
- test suites added |
289 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
290 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
291 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
292 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
293 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
294 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
295 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
296 |
|
297 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
298 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
299 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
300 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
301 |
useless. |
302 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
303 |
experimental. |
304 |
|
305 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
306 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
307 |
|
308 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
309 |
- gen_key() changed |
310 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
