January 6th 2001: (version 2.4.9) |
| 2 |
- Blowfish algorithm was corrected in order to be compatible with other |
| 3 |
blowfish implementations. WARNING: if you used the previous algorithm |
| 4 |
use "blowfish-compat". There is no security problem in the previous algorithm |
| 5 |
just an endianness problem. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
January 1st 2001: (version 2.4.8) |
| 8 |
- Corrected bug in rijndael-256 (reported by: Sami Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>) |
| 9 |
This makes the algorithm incompatible with previous versions. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
October 20th 2000: (version 2.4.6) |
| 12 |
- Compiles under win32 using cygwin (with -mno-cygwin) |

| 14 |
|
| 15 |
September 18th 2000: (version 2.4.5) |
| 16 |
- Updates in the documentation |
| 17 |
- Libmcrypt can now be used without libltdl (in systems where libdl is present) |
| 18 |
- Added the mcrypt_enc_set_state() function. |
| 19 |
- Speedups in the blowfish algorithm |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |

| 23 |
|
| 24 |
April 3rd, 2000: (version 2.4.2) |

| 31 |
|
| 32 |
March 19th, 2000: (version 2.4.0) |
| 33 |
- Corrected bugs in the extra algorithms. |
| 34 |
- Libmcrypt is now thread safe without need for posix thread locks. |
| 35 |
- Libmcrypt is no longer compatible with 2.2 or 2.3 version. |
| 36 |
- Speedups in the library. |
| 37 |
- The crypt algorithm has changed. In order for it's output to be compatible |
| 38 |
with the unix crypt output, the key must be generated using crypt(3). |
| 39 |
This was made in order to remove the key transformation, which was |
| 40 |
included in the algorithm. |
| 41 |
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma. |
| 42 |
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution. |
| 43 |
View the manpage for more information. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4) |
| 46 |
- Improved POSIX Threads detection by Sascha Schumann |
| 47 |
- Arcfour was renamed to arcfour-iv. The arcfour algorithm now does not |
| 48 |
support iv (as the original algorithm does). |
| 49 |
- Modes for block algorithms are not limited any more to a 256 bit block size. |
| 50 |
- Mcrypt 2.2 compatibility functions were added. |
| 51 |

| 68 |
Libmcrypt seems to compile fine. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
January 21st, 2000: |
| 71 |
- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0) |
| 74 |
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does |
| 75 |
not work. |
| 76 |
- keygen functionality was removed. It will be added to libmhash |
| 77 |
http://schumann.cx/mhash |

| 102 |
machines. |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
November 29th, 1999: |
| 105 |
- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile |
| 106 |
in some systems. |
| 107 |
- version number is included in the modules. |
| 108 |
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now |
| 109 |
check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function). |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
November 28th, 1999: |
| 112 |
- MARS was added (as a separate module) |
| 113 |
|
| 114 |

| 118 |
name. |
| 119 |
- Documentation was updated. |
| 120 |
|
| 121 |
November 25th, 1999: |

| 123 |
__setkey() to keep some libcs happy. |

| 126 |
- IDEA, RC4, RC6 which were non-free now are in a separate distribution. |
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
November 24th, 1999: |
| 129 |

| 130 |
des(1). |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
November 20th, 1999: |
| 133 |
- Mcrypt is now modular. Modes, algorithm, and key generation modules, can |
| 134 |
be loaded dynamically. |
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
November 17th, 1999: |
| 137 |

November 13th, 1999: |
| 141 |
- Blowfish algorithm was changed, it is now compatible with other implementations. |
| 142 |
- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to |
| 143 |
access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of |
| 144 |
32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since |
| 145 |
you can access more keys. |
| 146 |
|
| 147 |
October 16th, 1999: |
| 148 |
- The new API is completed. |

| 168 |
|
| 169 |
September 20th, 1999: |
| 170 |
- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in |
| 171 |
big-endian and little-endian machines. |
| 172 |
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do |
| 173 |
not work right in bigendian machines. |
| 174 |
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed. |
| 175 |
|
| 176 |
September 19th, 1999 |
| 177 |
- SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
| 178 |
|
| 179 |
September 15th, 1999 |
| 180 |
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes. |
| 181 |
- RC6 was splitted to RC6_128, RC6_192 and RC6_256 (the old RC6 is equal to RC6_256) |
| 182 |
- RC2 was splitted to RC2_128, RC2_256 and RC2_1024 (the old RC2 is equal to RC2_1024) |
| 183 |
|
| 184 |
September 14th, 1999 |
| 185 |
- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code. |
| 186 |
- RC2 code was changed. |
| 187 |
|
| 188 |
June 26th, 1999 |
| 189 |
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net> |
| 190 |
|
| 191 |
June 23th, 1999 |
| 192 |
- RC2 code was cleared. |
| 193 |
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32. |
| 194 |
RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's |
| 195 |
code a bit modified for mcrypt. |
| 196 |
- shared library version has changed (at last!) |
| 197 |
|
| 198 |
June 22th, 1999 |
| 199 |
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added. |
| 200 |
|
| 201 |
June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2 |
| 202 |
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm |
| 203 |
differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft |
| 204 |
<lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information. |
| 205 |
|
| 206 |
June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1 |
| 207 |
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate. |
| 208 |
|
| 209 |
June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1 |
| 210 |
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they |
| 211 |
do not pollute namespace. |
| 212 |
|
| 213 |
May 29th, 1999 |
| 214 |
- test suites added |
| 215 |
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128. |
| 216 |
- CBC can now accept IV |
| 217 |
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory, |
| 218 |
thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no |
| 219 |
password is written in the disk (as swap etc.) |
| 220 |
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1() |
| 221 |
gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1(). |
| 222 |
|
| 223 |
May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0 |
| 224 |
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected. |
| 225 |
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this |
| 226 |
was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was |
| 227 |
useless. |
| 228 |
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still |
| 229 |
experimental. |
| 230 |
|
| 231 |
May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93 |
| 232 |
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok |
| 233 |
|
| 234 |
May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9 |
| 235 |
- gen_key() changed |
| 236 |
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches) |
