NEWS for the 1.12 release
Fixed a bug in the configure script.
Updated the description of aes_set_encrypt_key and
aes_set_decrypt_key in the manual.
NEWS for the 1.11 release
Nettle no longer uses automake. Side effects:
* Dependency tracking is enabled only for gcc-3 (help with
supporting dependency tracking with other compilers is
appreciated).
* Makefile compatibility with make programs other than GNU
make is mostly unknown, please report any problems.
Support for arctwo.
Fixes to the libdes compatibility code. Declarations should
now match openssl/libdes better. des_cbc_cksum pads
input with NUL's, if it's not an integral number of blocks (in
general, such unreversible padding is a bad idea).
By default, also the static library is compiled as position
independent code. This is needed on some systems to make it
possible to link nettle into a dynamically loaded module. Use
the configure flag --disable-pic if this is not desired.
Stricter constness typing for the sexp_iterator_assoc and
sexp_iterator_check_types arguments.
Minor tweaks of arcfour on x86 cpu:s, to speed it up on older
x86 variants such as PII and PPro.
The shared library is intended to be binary compatible with
nettle-1.8 - nettle-1.10. Only the minor version number of the
shared library is increased. The soname is still
libnettle.so.2.
NEWS for the 1.10 release
Nettle should now compile also on Tru64, Darwin, FreeBSD and
Windows. (The only tested windows build uses the rntcl rsh
wrapper to run the command line M$ C compiler "cl". See
http://pike.ida.liu.se for those tools, I don't know all
details about the Pike team's windows setup).
There are some known testsuite failures, on Windows and on one
of the xenofarm HPUX machines, see
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/xeno-lsh/latest.html. Help
tracking these down is appreciated.
There are no new features.
This release is intended to be binary compatible with
nettle-1.8 and nettle-1.9.
NEWS for the 1.9 release
Optimized C implementation of arcfour. Optimized x86
implementations of arcfour and sha1.
Improved benchmark program.
Fixed bug in the rsa-encrypt example program.
Fixed bug in make install, some of the header files were
forgotten.
Portability fixes. Fixes to make Nettle compile on systems
without gmp. This version has been tested on GNU/Linux,
Solaris, HPUX and AIX.
The shared library is intended to be binary compatible with
nettle-1.8. Only the minor version number of the shared
library is increased.
NEWS for the 1.8 release
New example programs, demonstrating encrypting and decrypting
files using RSA, and random sessions keys for bulk encryption
and message authentication.
Support for systems that don't have alloca. On such systems,
some of Nettle's functions have arbitrary limits applied to
their input.
Uses AX_CREATE_STDINT_H, to support systems without
inttypes.h.
Support for the md2 and md4 hash functions.
New name mangling, to reduce the risk of link collisions. All
functions (except memxor) now use a nettle_ or _nettle_ prefix
when seen by the linker. For most functions, the header file
that declares a function also uses #define to provide a
shorter more readable name without the prefix.
The shared library soname for this version is libnettle.so.2.
NEWS for the 1.7 release
Implemented DSA.
Renamed RSA functions for consistency. Now it's
rsa_public_key_init, not rsa_init_public_key, etc.
Both RSA and DSA now have sign/verify functions that take the
hash digest as argument.
A rewritten and much more powerful sexp-conv program.
Other changes to the sexp code, in particular updating it to
the latest SPKI draft.
Building nettle as a shared library (ELF only) seems to work.
The version number is increased, so the library "soname" for
this release is "libnettle.so.1".
Bugfixes. Fixes for build and portability problems.
NEWS for the 1.6 release
Optimized assembler implementations of aes, for sparc and x86.
The aes interface has changed slightly. The function
aes_set_key is no more. Instead one has to use
aes_set_encrypt_key or aes_set_decrypt_key. Sorry about that.
New example programs, rsa-keygen, rsa-sign and rsa-verify,
located in the examples directory.
New configure option --enable-shared, which builds a shared
library. Not tested.
New experimental features, including sexp parsing and
formatting, and changes to base64 encoding and decoding. The
interfaces to these functions are subject to change, and are
documented only in the source code.
NEWS for the 1.5 release
RSA support. Key generation and signatures.
Support for HMAC (RFC-2104).
An implementation of the Yarrow-256 PRNG.
New sections in the manual.
Changed the interface for hash functions. The md5_digest
function is now equivalent to the old sequence of md5_final,
md5_digest, md5_init, and similarly for the other hashing
algorithms. This makes the interface simpler.
NEWS for the 1.0 release
Fixed twofish bug spotted by Jean-Pierre Stierlin.
Added des3 and cbc.
New RFC-1321-like interface in nettle/md5-compat.h, suggested
by Assar Westerlund.
New libdes-style compatibility interface in nettle/des-compat.h.
