   1 catacomb (2.5.0) experimental; urgency=medium
   2
   3   * catacomb: MACs based on blockciphers: PMAC1 and CMAC (also known as
   4     OMAC).
   5   * catacomb: Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD)
   6     schemes.  Some based on blockciphers: CCM, EAX, GCM (with CPU-specific
   7     acceleration), OCB1 and OCB3 (OCB2 is broken).  Also Salsa20 and
   8     ChaCha20 with Poly1305: the RFC7539 scheme, and the NaCl `secret_box'
   9     transform.
  10   * catacomb: Implement Grantham's Frobenius test.  Combine it with
  11     Rabin--Miller, as Baillie--PSW, for testing given primes.
  12   * catacomb-bin (catcrypt): Support AEAD schemes for bulk crypto.
  13   * catacomb-bin (perftest): Options for batching; report cycle counts
  14     where available.
  15   * Many internal improvements: better documentation, debugging, testing,
  16     etc.

 116 catacomb (2.3.0.1) experimental; urgency=low
 117
 118   * catacomb2: Actually make the stack non-executable rather than just
 119     pretending.

 122
 123 catacomb (2.3.0) experimental; urgency=low
 124
 125   * catacomb2: Use the correct Oakley 2048 group.  For a long time, this
 126     was a duplicate of the Oakley 1536 group.  There's a compatibility
 127     break here, but it's for the best.
 128   * catacomb2: Include `.note.GNU-stack' sections in the assembler code,
 129     so that the process stack doesn't get marked executable.

 131   * catacomb2: Lots of other improvements to the assembler code.

 138     is unaligned.
 139   * build: Use less obsolete macro names in configure script.

 143 catacomb (2.2.4) experimental; urgency=low
 144
 145   * build: Fix build failures on post-wheezy Debian versions.
 146   * catacomb2: Use ARM AES instructions if available.  (But they can't be
 147     assembled using wheezy's version of gas, so this doesn't work in the
 148     binary package.)
 149   * catacomb2: Fix poor performance (and wrong answers for very small
 150     numbers) in prime generation.
 151   * catacomb2: Return numbers of exactly the requested length in prime and
 152     public-key generation.  The `strongprime' and `limlee' algorithms have
 153     changed as a result; previously verifiable parameters generated using
 154     this algorithm won't be verifiable any more.
 155   * catacomb-dev: Deprecate the old `dsa' functions.  Use `gdsa' instead.

 160
 161   * rand: Make the main generator resiliant in the face of fork(2).
 162   * rand: Introduce `rand_quick', which may also mix in CPU-level
 163     randomness sources.
 164   * rand: Use higher-resolution timer in the quick-win noise source.
 165   * debian: Pick up correct `catacomb-dev' Depends entry from 2.2.1.1
 166     which got lost down the side of the sofas.

 173   * Miscellaneous small fixes for Cygwin.
 174   * catacomb2 (mp_testbit): Fix overread on reading one-bit-past-the-end;
 175     particularly, this causes a segfault reading bit zero of a zero-length
 176     integer.

 201     out of prime numbers.
 202   * catacomb2: Overhaul crypto primitives used in true-random generator.
 203   * catacomb-bin: Improve rspit: high-resolution timing, and 64-bit size
 204     support.
 205   * catacomb-dev: New conversions between MP integers and C integer types.
 206   * catacomb2: Change gcipher for Seal incompatibly.  The IV is now
 207     big-endian bytes (rather than `uint32'), and the `block size' is 4.
 208   * catacomb2: Mix a constant string into DSA nonce generation to improve
 209     resistance to protocol interference.
 210   * catacomb2: Fix the freewheel random source, which hasn't been enabled
 211     for ages due to a configure-script bug.
 212   * catacomb-bin: The key tool can now read and write multiple
 213     presentations for key fingerprints.
 214   * catacomb2, catacomb-dev: Support Daniel Bernstein's Salsa20 and ChaCha
 215     stream ciphers.
