-Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.1
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.x (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
- * The Camellia cipher is now under the LGPL and included by default.
+ * New cipher algorithm mode for AES-WRAP.
+
+ * Fixed minor memory leak in DSA key generation.
+
+ * No more switching to FIPS mode if /proc/version is not readable.
+
+ * Fixed sigill during Padlock detection on old CPUs.
+
+ * Fixed a hang on some W2000 machines.
+
+ * Boosted SHA-512 performance by 30% on ia32 boxes and gcc 4.3;
+ SHA-256 went up by 25%.
+
+ * Support for WindowsCE.
+
+ * Interface changes relative to the 1.4.2 release:
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ GCRY_CIPHER_MODE_AESWRAP NEW.
+ GCRY_PK_ECDH NEW.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.4 (2009-01-22)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Publish GCRY_MODULE_ID_USER and GCRY_MODULE_ID_USER_LAST constants.
+ This functionality has been in Libgcrypt since 1.3.0.
+
+ * MD5 may now be used in non-enforced fips mode.
+
+ * Fixed HMAC for SHA-384 and SHA-512 with keys longer than 64 bytes.
+
+ * In fips mode, RSA keys are now generated using the X9.31 algorithm
+ and DSA keys using the FIPS 186-2 algorithm.
+
+ * The transient-key flag is now also supported for DSA key
+ generation. DSA domain parameters may be given as well.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.3 (2008-09-18)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Try to auto-initialize Libgcrypt to minimize the effect of
+ applications not doing that correctly. This is not a perfect
+ solution but given that many applicationion would totally fail
+ without such a hack, we try to help at least with the most common
+ cases. Folks, please read the manual to learn how to properly
+ initialize Libgcrypt!
+
+ * Auto-initialize the secure memory to 32k instead of aborting the
+ process.
+
+ * Log fatal errors via syslog.
+
+ * Changed the name and the semantics of the fips mode config file.
+
+ * Add convenience macro gcry_fips_mode_active.
+
+ * More self-tests.
+
+ * Documentation cleanups.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2 (2008-09-08)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * The long missing gcry_mpi_lshift function has been added.
+
+ * RSA key generation now supports a "transient-key" flag.
+
+ * The keygrip computation for ECDSA has been implemented thus ECDSA
+ is now fully supported.
+
+ * A few macros have been replaced by functions for better type
+ checking.
+
+ * The thread initialization structure now carries version
+ information.
+
+ * The manual describes more clearly how to initialize Libgcrypt.
+
+ * The library may now be switched into a FIPS mode.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.3.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ GCRYCTL_OPERATIONAL_P NEW.
+ GCRYCTL_FIPS_MODE_P NEW.
+ GCRYCTL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE NEW.
+ gcry_cipher_setkey NEW: Replaces macro.
+ gcry_cipher_setiv NEW: Replaces macro.
+ gcry_cipher_setctr NEW: Replaces macro.
+ gcry_mpi_lshift NEW.
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.1 (2008-04-25)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Fixed a bug introduced by 1.3.1 which led to the comsumption of far
+ too much entropy for the intial seeding.
+
+ * Improved AES performance for CFB and CBC modes.
+
+ * Removed build problems for the Padlock support.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.0 (2007-12-10)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * New configure option --disable-padlock-support which is mostly
+ useful in case of build problems.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.2 (2007-12-03)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * The visibility attribute is now used if supported by the toolchain.
+
+ * The ACE engine of VIA processors is now used for AES-128.
+
+ * The ASN.1 DER template for SHA-224 has been fixed.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.1 (2007-10-26)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * The entire library is now under the LGPL. The helper programs and
+ the manual are under the GPL. Kudos to Peter Gutmann for giving
+ permissions to relicense the rndw32 and rndunix modules.
+
+ * The Camellia cipher is now under the LGPL and included by default.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the detection of symbol prefixes which inhibited the
+ build of optimzied assembler code on certain systems.
+
+ * Updated the entropy gatherer for W32.
