Noteworthy changes in version 1.2.2 (2005-10-05}
------------------------------------------------
* Made the RNG immune against fork without exec.
* Minor changes to some function declarations. Buffer arguments are
now typed as void pointer. This should not affect any compilation.
* A bug in the definition of gcry_cipher_register has been fixed.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.2.1 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gcry_cipher_encrypt CHANGED: Arguments IN and OUT are now void*.
gcry_cipher_decrypt CHANGED: Arguments IN and OUT are now void*.
gcry_create_nonce CHANGED: Argument BUFFER is now void*.
gcry_md_ctl CHANGED: Argument BUFFER is now void*.
gcry_sexp_sprint CHANGED: Argument BUFFER is now void*.
gcry_mpi_scan CHANGED: Argument BUFFER is now void*.
gcry_cipher_register CHANGED: Argument ALGORITHM_ID is now int*.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
when other source files depend on fd_set being defined in a local header.
(Required on Interix, which does not expose <sys/select.h>/<sys/time.h>
automagically via other system headers as some OS's do by default.)
* Portability fixes, memory allocation fixes and other minor things.
* Support to build as a W32 static library.
* 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.
If __sparcv8 is defined, use the SPARC v8 version of udiv_qrnnd. Without
this change, udiv_qrnnd will not be defined using the SPARC v8 udiv
instruction, and the default SPARC v7 case of defining it to be the native
__gmpn_udiv_qrnnd will be used, but this does not exist on SPARC v8, so
at link time, the user will get an error about _gmpn_udiv_qrnnd being
undefined. gcc defines __sparcv8.
From PR pkg/26815.
file descriptors (0, 1, 2) are open. This avoids multiple warnings issued
under NetBSD about running set[ug]id programs with those descriptors closed.
Fixes PR pkg/26079; although it talks about gaim, the problem is here, in
libgcrypt. Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
* First stable release.
Changes 1.1.94
* The support for multi-threaded users goes into its third
incarnation. 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
Changes 1.1.93
* The automatic thread library detection has finally been removed.
From now on, only linking explicitely to libgcrypt, libgcrypt-pth
or libgcrypt-pthread is supported.
