DSA domain parameters may be given as well. - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.3 (2008-09-18) ------------------------------------------------- - - * Try to auto-initialize Libgcrypt to minimize the effect of - applications not doing that correctly. This is not a perfect - solution but given that many applicationion would totally fail - without such a hack, we try to help at least with the most common - cases. Folks, please read the manual to learn how to properly - initialize Libgcrypt! - - * Auto-initialize the secure memory to 32k instead of aborting the - process. - - * Log fatal errors via syslog. - - * Changed the name and the semantics of the fips mode config file. - - * Add convenience macro gcry_fips_mode_active. - - * More self-tests. - - * Documentation cleanups. - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2 (2008-09-08) ------------------------------------------------- - - * The long missing gcry_mpi_lshift function has been added. - - * RSA key generation now supports a "transient-key" flag. - - * The keygrip computation for ECDSA has been implemented thus ECDSA - is now fully supported. - - * A few macros have been replaced by functions for better type - checking. - - * The thread initialization structure now carries version - information. - - * The manual describes more clearly how to initialize Libgcrypt. - - * The library may now be switched into a FIPS mode. - - * Interface changes relative to the 1.3.0 release: - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - GCRYCTL_OPERATIONAL_P NEW. - GCRYCTL_FIPS_MODE_P NEW. - GCRYCTL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE NEW. - gcry_cipher_setkey NEW: Replaces macro. - gcry_cipher_setiv NEW: Replaces macro. - gcry_cipher_setctr NEW: Replaces macro. - gcry_mpi_lshift NEW. - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.1 (2008-04-25) ------------------------------------------------- - - * Fixed a bug introduced by 1.3.1 which led to the comsumption of far - too much entropy for the intial seeding. - - * Improved AES performance for CFB and CBC modes. - - * Removed build problems for the Padlock support. - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.0 (2007-12-10) ------------------------------------------------- - - * New configure option --disable-padlock-support which is mostly - useful in case of build problems. - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.2 (2007-12-03) ------------------------------------------------- - - * The visibility attribute is now used if supported by the toolchain. - - * The ACE engine of VIA processors is now used for AES-128. - - * The ASN.1 DER template for SHA-224 has been fixed. - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.1 (2007-10-26) ------------------------------------------------- - - * The entire library is now under the LGPL.

Kudos to Peter Gutmann for giving - permissions to relicense the rndw32 and rndunix modules. - - * The Camellia cipher is now under the LGPL and included by default. - - * Fixed a bug in the detection of symbol prefixes which inhibited the - build of optimzied assembler code on certain systems. - - * Updated the entropy gatherer for W32. - - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.0 (2007-05-04) ------------------------------------------------- - - * Changed the way the RNG gets initialized. This allows to keep it - uninitialized as long as no random numbers are used. To override - this, the new macro gcry_fast_random_poll may be used. It is in - general a good idea to spread this macro into the application code - to make sure that these polls happen often enough. - - * Made the RNG immune against fork without exec. - - * Reading and writing the random seed file is now protected by a - fcntl style file lock on systems that provide this function. - - * Support for SHA-224 and HMAC using SHA-384 and SHA-512. - - * Support for the SEED cipher. - - * Support for the Camellia cipher. Note that Camellia is disabled by - default, and that enabling it changes the license of libgcrypt from - LGPL to GPL. - - * Support for OFB encryption mode. - - * gcry_mpi_rshift does not anymore truncate the shift count. - - * Reserved algorithm ranges for use by applications. - - * Support for DSA2. - - * The new function gcry_md_debug should be used instead of the - gcry_md_start_debug and gcry_md_stop_debug macros. - - * New configure option --enable-random-daemon to support a system - wide random daemon.

We removed compile time support for thread libraries. - To support the thread library of your choice, you have to set up - callback handlers at initialization time. New data structures, a - new control command, and default initializers are provided for this - purpose. - - * Interface changes relative to the 1.1.93 release: -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -libgcrypt-config --thread OBSOLETE -libgcrypt-pth.la REMOVED -libgcrypt-pthread.la REMOVED -GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS NEW -struct gcrypt_thread_cbs NEW -enum gcry_thread_option NEW -GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_PTH_IMPL NEW -GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_PTHREAD_IMPL NEW -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.93 (2004-03-06) -------------------------------------------------- - - * The automatic thread library detection has finally been removed. - From now on, only linking explicitely to libgcrypt, libgcrypt-pth - or libgcrypt-pthread is supported. - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.92 (2004-02-20) -------------------------------------------------- - - * Minor bug fixes. - - * Included a limited implementation of RFC2268. - - * Changed API of the gcry_ac_ functions.

Applications need to be converted to the new - API. See README.apichanges for hints on how to do that. Backward - compatibility is provided where it was possible without too much - effort and did not collide with the overall sanitization effort. - However, this is only for ease of transition. NO DEPRECATED - FUNCTION OR DATA TYPE IS CONSIDERED A PART OF THE API OR ABI AND - WILL BE DROPPED IN THE FUTURE WITHOUT CHANGING THE SONAME OF THE - LIBRARY. - - * If gcrypt.h is included in sources compiled by GCC 3.1 or later, - deprecated attributes will warn about use of obsolete functions and - type definitions. You can suppress these warnings by passing - -Wno-deprecated-declarations to the gcc command. - - * gcry_check_version must be called from now on to initialize the - library, it is not longer optional. - - * Removed `libgcrypt errno' concept. - - * Libgcrypt depends on libgpg-error, a library that provides error - codes and according functions for all GnuPG components. Functions - that used to return error codes asa `int' have been changed to - return a code of type `gcry_error_t'. All GCRYERR_* error symbols - have been removed, since they are now contained in libgpg-error - (GPG_ERR_*). All functions and types in libgpg-error have also been - wrapped in Libgcrypt. The new types are gcry_err_code_t and - gcry_err_source_t. The new functions are gcry_err_code, - gcry_err_source, gcry_error, gcry_err_make, gcry_error_from_errno, - gcry_err_make_from_errno, gcry_err_code_from_errno, - gcry_err_code_to_errno, gcry_strsource. - - * New function gcry_mpi_dump to help in debugging. - - * Added alternative interface for asymmetric cryptography. - - * CRC-32, CRC-32 a'la RFC 1510, CRC-24 a'la RFC 2440 are now - supported. - - * SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 are now supported. - - * 128 bit Twofish is now supported. - - * The random module won't print the "not enough random bytes - available" anymore. A new progress status is issued instead. - - * CBC-MAC for block ciphers is now supported, by using a - GCRY_CIPHER_CBC_MAC cipher flag. - - * CTR mode for block ciphers is now supported. - - * The public RSA exponent can now be specified in key generation. - - * RSA blinding is now supported and is used automatically for RSA - decryption. It can be explicitely disabled by using the - `no-blinding' symbol in the `flags' S-Expression or by using the - GCRY_AC_FLAG_DATA_NO_BLINDING flag when using the ac interface. - - * gcry_sexp_canon_len does not use a `historically encoded' error - code anymore. - - - * Interface changes relative to the 1.1.12 release: -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -GCRY_MPI DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_mpi_t -GcryMPI DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_mpi_t -GCRY_SEXP DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_sexp_t -GcrySexp DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_sexp_t -GCRY_CIPHER_HD DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_cipher_hd_t -GcryCipherHd DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_cipher_hd_t -GCRY_MD_HD DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_md_hd_t -GcryMDHd DEPRECATED; Use: gcry_md_hd_t -gcry_error_t NEW -gcry_err_code_t NEW -gcry_err_source_t NEW -gcry_err_make NEW -gcry_error NEW -gcry_err_code NEW -gcry_err_source NEW -gcry_err_code_from_errno NEW -gcry_err_code_to_errno NEW -gcry_err_make_from_errno NEW -gcry_error_from_errno NEW -gcry_strsource NEW -GCRYERR_{some error code} REMOVED; Use GPG_ERR_* - from libgpg-error instead. -gcry_errno REMOVED -gcry_sexp_canon_len CHANGED -gcry_sexp_build_array NEW -gcry_mpi_scan CHANGED: New argument to separate in/out args. -gcry_mpi_print CHANGED: Ditto. -gcry_mpi_dump NEW -gcry_cipher_open CHANGED -gcry_cipher_reset NEW -gcry_cipher_register NEW -gcry_cipher_unregister NEW -gcry_cipher_list NEW -gcry_cipher_algo_keylen REPLACED macro with function. -gcry_cipher_algo_blklen REPLACED macro with function. -gcry_pk_register NEW -gcry_pk_unregister NEW -gcry_pk_list NEW -gcry_pk_decrypt ENHANCED: Allows flag to return - complete S-expression. -gcry_md_open CHANGED -gcry_md_copy CHANGED -gcry_md_is_enabled NEW -gcry_md_is_secure NEW -gcry_md_register NEW -gcry_md_unregister NEW -gcry_md_list NEW -gcry_ac_data_t NEW -gcry_ac_key_t NEW -gcry_ac_key_pair_t NEW -gcry_ac_handle_t NEW -gcry_ac_key_spec_rsa_t NEW -gcry_ac_data_new NEW -gcry_ac_data_destroy NEW -gcry_ac_data_set NEW -gcry_ac_data_copy NEW -gcry_ac_data_length NEW -gcry_ac_data_get_name NEW -gcry_ac_data_get_index NEW -gcry_ac_data_clear NEW -gcry_ac_open NEW -gcry_ac_close NEW -gcry_ac_key_init NEW -gcry_ac_key_pair_generate NEW -gcry_ac_key_pair_extract NEW -gcry_ac_key_data_get NEW -gcry_ac_key_test NEW -gcry_ac_key_get_nbits NEW -gcry_ac_key_get_grip NEW -gcry_ac_key_destroy NEW -gcry_ac_key_pair_destroy NEW -gcry_ac_data_encrypt NEW -gcry_ac_data_decrypt NEW -gcry_ac_data_sign NEW -gcry_ac_data_verify NEW -gcry_ac_id_to_name NEW -gcry_ac_name_to_id NEW -gcry_handler_progress_t NEW -gcry_handler_alloc_t NEW -gcry_handler_secure_check_t NEW -gcry_handle_realloc_t NEW -gcry_handler_free_t NEW -gcry_handler_no_mem_t NEW -gcry_handler_error_t NEW -gcry_handler_log_t NEW -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.12 (2003-01-20) -------------------------------------------------- - - * gcry_pk_sign, gcry_pk_verify and gcry_pk_encrypt can now handle an - optional pkcs1 flags parameter in the S-expression.
