Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.13 (unreleased)
-------------------------------------------------
* Added alternative interface for asymmetric cryptography.
* Removed `libgcrypt errno' concept, resulting in some more API
changes.
* Renamed all libgcrypt specific types.
* Use libgpg-error for error handling.
* CRC-32, CRC-32 a'la RFC 1510, CRC-24 a'la RFC 2440 is now
supported.
* SHA-256 is now supported.
* The public RSA exponent can now be specified in key generation.
* The random module won't print the "not enough random bytes
available" anymore. A new progress status is issued instead.
* CBC-MAC for block ciphers is now supported, by using a
GCRY_CIPHER_CBC_MAC cipher flag.
* CTR mode for block ciphers is now supported.
* RSA blinding is now supported and is used automatically for RSA
decryption. It can be explicitely disabled by using the `no-blinding'
symbol in the `flags' s-exp.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.12 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gcry_cipher_list NEW
gcry_md_list NEW
gcry_pk_list NEW
gcry_pk_decrypt ENHANCED: Allows flag to return complete S-expression.
gcry_cipher_reset NEW
gcry_md_open CHANGED
gcry_md_copy CHANGED
gcry_md_is_enabled NEW
gcry_md_is_secure REPLACED macro by a function.
gcry_cipher_get_algo_keylen REPLACED macro by a function.
gcry_cipher_get_algo_blklen REPLACED macro by a function.
... fixme add other changes ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.12 (2003-01-20)
-------------------------------------------------
* gcry_pk_sign, gcry_pk_verify and gcry_pk_encrypt can now handle an
optional pkcs1 flags parameter in the S-expression. A similar flag
may be passed to gcry_pk_decrypt but it is only syntactically
implemented.
* New convenience macro gcry_md_get_asnoid.
* There is now some real stuff in the manual.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.11 (2002-12-21)
-------------------------------------------------
* Don't export internal symbols anymore (currently only for GNU systems)
* New algorithm: MD4
* Implemented ciphertext stealing.
* Smaller bugs fixes and a few new OIDs.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.8 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gcry_cipher_cts NEW

Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.10 (2002-09-20)
-------------------------------------------------
* Fixed shared library builds for i386, PPC and Sparc.
* Added simple benchmark tool.
* Replaced the internal mutexes by code which automatically adapts to
the used threading library. Currently Pth and Pthread are
supported. For non-ELF systems the GNU toolchain is now required..
* Added untested support to build Windows DLLs.
