mcrypt_symb.c is only generated when needed.

1 March 08 2003: (version 2.5.7)
2 - The mcrypt_symb.c file is generated only when needed. This should
3 fix some problems in systems with incompatible sed.
4
5 January 19 2003: (version 2.5.6)
6 - Fixes in win32 detection and DLL building.
7 - Fixes for solaris (a symbol was not exported)
8 - Corrected bug which made algorithm symbols to be inserted
9 twice in symbol table.
10 - panama algorithm was removed
11
12 December 22 2002: (version 2.5.5)
13 - Better win32 detection and DLL building.
14 - Changed some variables names in gost.c to allow compiling
15 with gcc and K6 optimizations.
16 - Some buffer overrun checks on input. Patches and suggestions
17 by Ilia A. <ilia@prohost.org>

19 the main library, instead of using dynamic modules. Dynamic
20 loading is disabled by default. The --enable-dynamic-loading flag
21 can be used in the configure script, to get the old behaviour.
22 - Some fixes in ECB mode.

102 - Corrected bugs in blowfish and blowfish-compat
103
104 January 23th 2001: (version 2.4.9-beta)
105 - Due to an endianness handling problem Blowfish algorithm was not compatible
106 with other implementations. Now it has been corrected. If you want
107 to access the old algorithm used use the "blowfish-compat" module.

109 Jonathan Woolmington <jwool@ind.tansu.com.au>
110 - Fixes in stream mode.
111 - mcrypt_generic_init() no longer fails if smaller key is used. It uses
112 the most appropriate key size of the algorithm and pads with zeros.
113 - Fixes in wake algorithm (and support for IV).
114 - IV is now used in arcfour (arcfour-iv is now longer used). Speedups in Arcfour.
115 - mcrypt_generic_deinit() function added.

133
134 April 3rd, 2000: (version 2.4.2)
135 - Added missing symbols.
136
137 April 2nd, 2000: (version 2.4.1)
138 - Bugfixes

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

155 March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4)
156 - Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann
157 - Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not
158 support iv (as the original algorithm does).
159 - Modes for block algorithms are not limited any more to a 256 bit block size.
160 - Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added.
161 - mcrypt_get_algo_key_size(), mcrypt_get_algo_block_size() functions
162 were added.

165 - Some dlsyms were cached causing a 50% increase in speed.
166
167 February 27th, 2000:
168 - A slightly modified version of libmcrypt 2.2.4 was released in order
169 for mcrypt 2.5.0 to be able to compile against that series of libmcrypt.
170
171 February 22, 2000:
172 - mcrypt_is_block_algorithm_mode(), mcrypt_is_block_mode(),
173 mcrypt_is_block_algorithm(), functions were added.

178 Libmcrypt seems to compile fine.
179
180 January 21st, 2000:
181 - Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.
182
183 January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
184 - Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
185 not work.
186 - keygen functionality was removed. It will be added to libmhash
187 http://schumann.cx/mhash
188
189 January 13th, 2000:
190 - Changed the sha-1 algorithm implementation

211 - Corrections in the panama algorithm, in order to work fine in big-endian
212 machines.
213
214 November 29th, 1999:
215 - encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile
216 in some systems.
217 - version number is included in the modules.
218 - mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
219 check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).
220
221 November 28th, 1999:
222 - MARS was added (as a separate module)
223
224 November 26th, 1999:

228 name.
229 - Documentation was updated.
230
231 November 25th, 1999:

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

240 des(1).
241
242 November 20th, 1999:
243 - Mcrypt is now modular. Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules, can
244 be loaded dynamically.

249
250 November 13th, 1999:
251 - Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations.
252 - Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
253 access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
254 32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
255 you can access more keys.
256
257 October 16th, 1999:
258 - The new API is completed.
259 - STREAM mode was added.
260 - RC4 was added.

278
279 September 20th, 1999:
280 - Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
281 big-endian and little-endian machines.
282 - Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
283 not work right in bigendian machines.
284 - Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.
285
286 September 19th, 1999
287 - SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.
288
289 September 15th, 1999
290 - MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.
291 - RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256)
292 - RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024)
293
294 September 14th, 1999
295 - Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
296 - RC2 code was changed.
297
298 June 26th, 1999
299 - buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>
300
301 June 23th, 1999
302 - RC2 code was cleared.
303 - RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
304 RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
305 code a bit modified for mcrypt.
306 - shared library version has changed (at last!)
307
308 June 22th, 1999
309 - SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.
310
311 June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
312 - Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
313 differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
314 <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.
315
316 June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
317 - Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.
318
319 June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
320 - _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
321 do not pollute namespace.
322
323 May 29th, 1999
324 - test suites added
325 - Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
326 - CBC can now accept IV
327 - mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
328 thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
329 password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
330 - gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
331 gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().
332
333 May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
334 - Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
335 - A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
336 was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
337 useless.
338 - nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
339 experimental.
340
341 May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
342 - defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok
343
344 May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
345 - gen_key() changed
346 - libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
