Changes since 1.52: +4 -0 lines
Panama is not included by default. Several win32 fixes.

1 January 19 2003: (version 2.5.6)
2 - Fixes in win32 detection and DLL building.
3 - Fixes for solaris (a symbol was not exported)
4
5 December 22 2002: (version 2.5.5)
6 - Better win32 detection and DLL building.
7 - Changed some variables names in gost.c to allow compiling
8 with gcc and K6 optimizations.
9 - Some buffer overrun checks on input. Patches and suggestions
10 by Ilia A. <ilia@prohost.org>

95 - Corrected bugs in blowfish and blowfish-compat
96
97 January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta)

102 Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au>
103 - Fixes in stream mode.
104 - mcrypt_generic_init() no longer fails if smaller key is used. It uses
105 the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros.
106 - Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV).
107 - IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour.
108 - mcrypt_generic_deinit() function added.

125 - Added Panama algorithm
126
127 April 3rd, 2000: (version 2.4.2)
128 - Added missing symbols.
129
130 April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1)

133 - Changes in the documentation
134
135 March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0)
136 - Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms.
137 - Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks.
138 - Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version.
139 - Speedups in the library.
140 - The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible
141 with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3).
142 This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was
143 included in the algorithm.
144 - The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma.
145 - Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution.
146 View the manpage for more information.

148 March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4)
149 - Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann
150 - Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not
151 support iv (as the original algorithm does).
152 - Modes for block algorithms are not limited any more to a 256 bit block size.
153 - Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added.
154 - mcrypt_get_algo_key_size(), mcrypt_get_algo_block_size() functions
155 were added.

162 for mcrypt 2.5.0 to be able to compile against that series of libmcrypt.
163
164 February 22, 2000:
165 - mcrypt_is_block_algorithm_mode(), mcrypt_is_block_mode(),

171 Libmcrypt seems to compile fine.
172
173 January 21st, 2000:
174 - Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.
175
176 January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
177 - Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
178 not work.

180 http://schumann.cx/mhash
181
182 January 13th, 2000:
183 - Changed the sha-1 algorithm implementation

208 - encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile
209 in some systems.
210 - version number is included in the modules.
211 - mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
212 check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).
213

215 - MARS was added (as a separate module)
216
217 November 26th, 1999:

226 __setkey() to keep some libcs happy.
227 - Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c.
228 - Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines.
229 - IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution.

233 des(1).
234
235 November 20th, 1999:

245 - Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
246 access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
247 32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
248 you can access more keys.
249
250 October 16th, 1999:
251 - The new API is completed.
252 - STREAM mode was added.

273 - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
274 big-endian and little-endian machines.
275 - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
276 not work right in bigendian machines.
277 - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
278
279 September 19th, 1999
280 - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
281
282 September 15th, 1999
283 - MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.
284 - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
285 - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
286
287 September 14th, 1999
288 - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
289 - RC2 code was changed.
290
291 June 26th, 1999
292 - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
293
294 June 23th, 1999
295 - RC2 code was cleared.
296 - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
297 RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
298 code a bit modified for mcrypt.
299 - shared library version has changed (at last!)
300
301 June 22th, 1999
302 - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
303
304 June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
305 - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
306 differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
307 <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
308
309 June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
310 - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
311
312 June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
313 - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
314 do not pollute namespace.
315
316 May 29th, 1999
317 - test suites added
318 - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
319 - CBC can now accept IV
320 - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
321 thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
322 password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
323 - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
324 gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
325
326 May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
327 - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
328 - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
329 was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
330 useless.
331 - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
332 experimental.
333
334 May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
335 - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
336
337 May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
338 - gen_key() changed
339 - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
