Mini Shell

March 08 2003: (version 2.5.7)
- The mcrypt_symb.c file is generated only when needed. This should
  fix some problems in systems with incompatible sed.

January 19 2003: (version 2.5.6)

  included in the algorithm.
- The crypt algorithm was renamed to enigma.
- Changed many function's names in order to minimize namespace polution.
  View the manpage for more information.

March 4th, 2000: (version 2.3.4)

- mcrypt_is_block_algorithm_mode(), mcrypt_is_block_mode(),
  mcrypt_is_block_algorithm(), functions were added.
- Bugfixes in the mcrypt_module_self_test().

- Locks were added to libltdl calls so libmcrypt is still thread safe.

January 20th, 2000: (version 2.3.0)
- Tried to include libltdl. Not succesful yet. It compiles but it does
  not work.
- keygen functionality was removed. It will be added to libmhash
  http://schumann.cx/mhash

  streams of encryption.
- Thread locking was changed, in order to allow multiple encryption, and avoid
  dead locks.

- encrypt() function crypt.c was renamed to __encrypt() in order to compile 
   in some systems.
- version number is included in the modules.
- mcrypt_list_algorithms(), mcrypt_list_modes() and mcrypt_list_keygen() now
   check if the file is an mcrypt module (has the _mcrypt_xxx_version function).

November 28th, 1999:
- MARS was added (as a separate module)

November 26th, 1999:
- mcrypt_perror(int) function was added. It prints the text of an mcrypt
   error code.
- Versioning has been changed. The release is no longer included in the library
   name.
- Documentation was updated.

November 25th, 1999:
- crypt() and setkey() functions for enigma, were renamed to __crypt() and
   __setkey() to keep some libcs happy.
- Corrected typo mistakes in twofish.c.
- Patched wake.c to work in bigendian machines.

- Accessing algorithms is now different. You do not specify TWOFISH_256, to
  access TWOFISH algorithm with 256 bit key, but TWOFISH with keylength of
  32 bytes (==256 bits). This is more flexible than the previous API since
  you can access more keys.

October 16th, 1999:
- The new API is completed.
- STREAM mode was added.
- RC4 was added.

October 15th, 1999:

- Fixes in RC2, RC6 and SAFER+ code, so they work the same way in
  big-endian and little-endian machines.
- Porting of SERPENT, MARS and RIJNDAEL is not ready, they do
  not work right in bigendian machines.
- Bugfixes in the tests. Tests failed if one or two algorithms failed.

September 19th, 1999
- SERPENT was added in 128,192,256 key modes.

September 15th, 1999
- MARS and RIJNDAEL were added in 128,192,256 key modes.

- Twofish code was changed. Now it uses Dr Brian Gladman's code.
- RC2 code was changed.

June 26th, 1999
- buffer overflow fixed in lib/mcrypt.c. Pointed out by Don Sutherland <dss@yadda.net>

June 23th, 1999
- RC2 code was cleared.
- RC6 was changed according to the specification. It is RC6 32/20/32.
  RC6, SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 codes are actually Dr Brian Gladman's
  code a bit modified for mcrypt.
- shared library version has changed (at last!)

June 22th, 1999
- SAFER+, LOKI97 and CAST-256 Added.

June 15th, 1999 - Version 2.2
- Changes in the xTEA algorithm. Some extra parenthesis made the algorithm
  differ from the specification. Pointed out by Lars Nordentoft
  <lntech@post9.tele.dk>. Read the README.xtea for more information.

June 12th, 1999 - Version 2.1.1
- Changes in the documentation which was inaccurate.

June 11th, 1999 - Version 2.1
- _mcrypt_ was placed as a prefix to all internal functions so they
  do not pollute namespace.

May 29th, 1999
- test suites added
- Blowfish was divided to blowfish-448, -256, -192, -128.
- CBC can now accept IV
- mlock and munlock is used before mallocing and freeing any memory,
  thus if such capabilities exist the library guarrantees that no
  password is written in the disk (as swap etc.)
- gen_key_md5() was added and gen_key() was renamed to gen_key_sha1()
  gen_key() is still defined to be gen_keysha1().

May 26th, 1999 - Version 2.0
- Documentation was incorrect and innacurate. Corrected.
- A #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 0 was removed from acconfig.h, this
  was confusing all the library headers, and thus the library was
  useless.
- nbit-ofb mode added. n is the blocksize of the algorithm. Still
  experimental.

May 24th, 1999 - Version 1.93
- defined get_block_size to be mcrypt_get_block_size so php3.0.8 compiles ok

May 17th, 1999 - Version 1.9
- gen_key() changed
- libtool support (based on Sascha Schumann's patches)
