Bump to version 2.1.0b1

Update ChangeLog

2009-11-02T01:59:42+00:00

RSA.generate: Ensure that e is coprime to (p-1) and (q-1).

2009-11-02T01:34:19+00:00

This is needed for encryption to work properly, according to the 1997 paper by
Robert D. Silverman of RSA Labs, "Fast generation of random, strong RSA
primes", available here:

    http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.17.2713&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Since e=65537 is prime, it is sufficient to check that e divides neither (p-1)
nor (q-1).

This is a modified version of a patch by Lorenz Quack .

block_template.c: Re-acquire the GIL during a nasty error case

2009-10-17T00:25:33+00:00

This error should never occur, but we might as well handle it properly anyway.

Update RandomPool warning to indicate that previous versions were broken

2009-10-12T22:39:54+00:00

The *new* version uses Crypto.Random, so it's not broken, but we still want to
warn users and developers that their applications have been using an insecure
RNG up to this point.

Update ChangeLog

2009-10-12T21:00:37+00:00

Release the global interpreter lock during encryption, decryption, and hashing.

2009-10-12T20:43:18+00:00

These are the easy ones.  We don't release the GIL on cipher initialization,
hash initialization, or hash finalization, because those functions might make
Python API calls, and we would need to add a mechism for re-acquiring the GIL
in those cases.

Counter: Add some assert() statements
