This release adds a couple of new features.
XXX The shared library names???
The library is mostly source-level compatible with nettle-3.0.
It is however not binary compatible, due to the introduction
of versioned symbols, and extensions to the base64 context
structs. The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.0 and
libhogweed.so.4.0, with sonames libnettle.so.6 and
libhogweed.so.4.
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a missing include of <limits.h>, which made the
camellia implementation fail on all 64-bit non-x86
platforms.
* Eliminate out-of-bounds reads in the C implementation of
memxor (related to valgrind's --partial-loads-ok flag).
