catacomb (2.5.0) experimental; urgency=medium

  * catacomb: MACs based on blockciphers: PMAC1 and CMAC (also known as
    OMAC).
  * catacomb: Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD)
    schemes.  Some based on blockciphers: CCM, EAX, GCM (with CPU-specific
    acceleration), OCB1 and OCB3 (OCB2 is broken).  Also Salsa20 and
    ChaCha20 with Poly1305: the RFC7539 scheme, and the NaCl `secret_box'
    transform.
  * catacomb: Implement Grantham's Frobenius test.  Combine it with
    Rabin--Miller, as Baillie--PSW, for testing given primes.
  * catacomb-bin (catcrypt): Support AEAD schemes for bulk crypto.
  * catacomb-bin (perftest): Options for batching; report cycle counts
    where available.
  * Many internal improvements: better documentation, debugging, testing,
    etc.

catacomb (2.4.5) experimental; urgency=medium

  * catacomb: Fix memory leak in key-file error handling.
  * catacomb: Don't leak internal `exptime' symbol into the global
    namespace.
  * catacomb: Check that the X86 `rdrand' instruction actually works
    before leaning on it.  This is in response to the well-publicized AMD
    bug which always returns all-bits-set with the carry /set/ (indicating
    success).
  * catacomb: Mix in the random pool key during `rand_gate' and
    `rand_stretch' operations.
  * catacomb: Fix by-tag key lookups: if the query string looks like a hex
    number, it's treated as a search by id; but if no such id is found,
    the search wouldn't continue to look for a key by type or tag.
  * catacomb: Fix reference leak in `key_split'.
  * catacomb: Fix bug which completely broke `key_copydata'.
  * catacomb: Fix segfault from `pgen', if it fails before setting up the
    prime tester.
  * catacomb: Propagate failure from `pgen' during Lim--Lee prime
    generation, rather than immediately retrying.
  * catacomb: Fix memory leak of factor vector from failed Lim--Lee prime
    generation.
  * catacomb: Fix segfault when multiplying the identity elliptic-curve
    point.
  * catacomb: Fix the `lcrand' descriptor, so that it's not advertised as
    being cryptographically strong, and to fix a bias in its output.
  * catacomb: Fix a memory leak in the error case of KCDSA prime
    generation.
  * catacomb-bin: Fix segfault from `pixie', if given an empty passphrase
    to remember.
  * catacomb: Check SIMD feature bit on ARM64 before using the optimized
    code.  I don't know of any ARM64 implementations which lack SIMD
    instructions, but the bit must be there for a reason, so I might as
    well use it.
  * catacomb: Support parsing binary-group descriptions.  This is a long-
    standing lacuna that I've only recently noticed.

 -- Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>  Sat, 09 May 2020 17:46:24 +0100

catacomb (2.4.4) experimental; urgency=medium

    dependencies.

    modifiability.
  * catacomb-dev: Configure `pkg-config' correctly for static linking.

    padding on very long messages, and handling of large datestamps.
  * catacomb-bin (catsign): Don't open temporary files unnecessarily.
  * catacomb-bin (catcrypt): Fix key-attribute parsing.
  * catacomb-bin (perftest): Add missing help-string text for `-n' used
    with `enc' and `hash'

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.

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

    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.
