+
+	This is a bugfix release only. It turned out ripemd160 in the

+	missing include of config.h. nettle-2.4 fixes this.
+
+	The library is intended to be binary compatible with
+	nettle-2.2 and nettle-2.3. The shared library names are
+	libnettle.so.4.3 and libhogweed.so.2.1, with sonames still
+	libnettle.so.4 and libhogweed.so.2.
