NEWS for the 1.7 release
Renamed rsa functions for consistency. Now it's
rsa_public_key_init, not rsa_init_public_key, etc.
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.
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.
New RFC-1321-like interface in nettle/md5-compat.h, suggested
by Assar Westerlund.
New libdes-style compatibility interface in nettle/des-compat.h.
