Release 2.3.0.1.

[catacomb] / debian / changelog

catacomb (2.3.0.1) experimental; urgency=low

  * catacomb2: Actually make the stack non-executable rather than just
    pretending.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Wed, 05 Apr 2017 09:00:55 +0100

catacomb (2.3.0) experimental; urgency=low

  * catacomb2: Use the correct Oakley 2048 group.  For a long time, this
    was a duplicate of the Oakley 1536 group.  There's a compatibility
    break here, but it's for the best.
  * catacomb2: Include `.note.GNU-stack' sections in the assembler code,
    so that the process stack doesn't get marked executable.
  * catacomb2: New SSE2-based multipliers for i386 and AMD64.
  * catacomb2: Lots of other improvements to the assembler code.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Mon, 03 Apr 2017 10:24:17 +0100

catacomb (2.2.5) experimental; urgency=low

  * catacomb2 (ARM AES): Fix crash from `rijndael*_init' when key material
    is unaligned.
  * build: Use less obsolete macro names in configure script.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Tue, 12 Jul 2016 10:27:05 +0100

catacomb (2.2.4) experimental; urgency=low

  * build: Fix build failures on post-wheezy Debian versions.
  * catacomb2: Use ARM AES instructions if available.  (But they can't be
    assembled using wheezy's version of gas, so this doesn't work in the
    binary package.)
  * catacomb2: Fix poor performance (and wrong answers for very small
    numbers) in prime generation.
  * catacomb2: Return numbers of exactly the requested length in prime and
    public-key generation.  The `strongprime' and `limlee' algorithms have
    changed as a result; previously verifiable parameters generated using
    this algorithm won't be verifiable any more.
  * catacomb-dev: Deprecate the old `dsa' functions.  Use `gdsa' instead.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Sun, 26 Jun 2016 14:18:14 +0100

catacomb (2.2.3) experimental; urgency=low

  * rand: Make the main generator resiliant in the face of fork(2).
  * rand: Introduce `rand_quick', which may also mix in CPU-level
    randomness sources.
  * rand: Use higher-resolution timer in the quick-win noise source.
  * debian: Pick up correct `catacomb-dev' Depends entry from 2.2.1.1
    which got lost down the side of the sofas.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Mon, 13 Jun 2016 22:22:33 +0100

catacomb (2.2.2) experimental; urgency=low

  * build: Cope with newer Autotools and related equipment.
  * Miscellaneous small fixes for Cygwin.
  * catacomb2 (mp_testbit): Fix overread on reading one-bit-past-the-end;
    particularly, this causes a segfault reading bit zero of a zero-length
    integer.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Sat, 04 Jun 2016 01:12:01 +0100

catacomb (2.2.1.1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Arrange that catacomb-dev Depends on correct version of mlib-dev.  It
    really won't work well without it.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Fri, 19 Feb 2016 09:04:50 +0000

catacomb (2.2.1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Some internal improvements.
  * Debian packaging cleanups (fix build-depends, update mLib dependency).

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:43:09 +0000

catacomb (2.2.0) experimental; urgency=low

  * catacomb2: Fix rsa_recover crash on even modulus.
  * catacomb-bin: Report error taking factorial of negative input.
  * catacomb2: Fix EC_FIND and EC_NEG on 2-torsion points of prime curves.
  * catacomb-dev: Support multiple flavours of EC point compression.
  * catacomb2: Fix theoretical rsa_recover crash if factoring loop runs
    out of prime numbers.
  * catacomb2: Overhaul crypto primitives used in true-random generator.
  * catacomb-bin: Improve rspit: high-resolution timing, and 64-bit size
    support.
  * catacomb-dev: New conversions between MP integers and C integer types.
  * catacomb2: Change gcipher for Seal incompatibly.  The IV is now
    big-endian bytes (rather than `uint32'), and the `block size' is 4.
  * catacomb2: Mix a constant string into DSA nonce generation to improve
    resistance to protocol interference.
  * catacomb2: Fix the freewheel random source, which hasn't been enabled
    for ages due to a configure-script bug.
  * catacomb-bin: The key tool can now read and write multiple
    presentations for key fingerprints.
  * catacomb2, catacomb-dev: Support Daniel Bernstein's Salsa20 and ChaCha
    stream ciphers.

  * Fibonacci sequence computation: mp_fibonacci function and fibonacci(1)

catacomb (2.1.0) experimental; urgency=low

  * Added support for elliptic curves, on both prime and binary fields

    to do ECDH and stuff on well-known curves  Testing is currently a bit
    patchy.
