2.4
===
* Python 3 support! (Thorsten E. Behrens, Anders Sundman)
PyCrypto now supports every version of Python from 2.1 through 3.2.
* Timing-attack countermeasures in _fastmath: When built against
libgmp version 5 or later, we use mpz_powm_sec instead of mpz_powm.
This should prevent the timing attack described by Geremy Condra at
PyCon 2011:

* New hash modules (for Python >= 2.5 only): SHA224, SHA384, and
SHA512 (Frédéric Bertolus)
* Configuration using GNU autoconf. This should help fix a bunch of
build issues.
* Support using MPIR as an alternative to GMP.
* Improve the test command in setup.py, by allowing tests to be
performed on a single sub-package or module only. (Legrandin)
You can now do something like this:
python setup.py test -m Hash.SHA256 --skip-slow-tests
* Fix double-decref of "counter" when Cipher object initialisation
fails (Ryan Kelly)
* Apply patches from Debian's python-crypto 2.3-3 package (Jan
Dittberner, Sebastian Ramacher):
- fix-RSA-generate-exception.patch
- epydoc-exclude-introspect.patch
- no-usr-local.patch
* Fix launchpad bug #702835: "Import key code is not compatible with
GMP library" (Legrandin)
* More tests, better documentation, various bugfixes.
Adds command_args to startup script to write the pid file to /var/run
as intended. Apparently the lack of a pid file did not affect NetBSD's
ability to stop the daemon, but it did prevent it on DragonFly BSD.
- do not confuse FUSE fileno with inode numbers
- do not use kernel name cache, implement our own instead.
- honour cache directive from FUSE filesystem for name and attrbiutes
Changes from previous:
[Changes for 1.04 - 2011-07-21]
* Brown paper bag bug: fix option -x (execute) (broken by changes for -c)
* While we're at it: honor option -I with -c
[Changes for 1.03 - 2011-07-18]
* RT #69213: ScanDeps incompatible with AnyEvent (Perl 5.14, AnyEvent 5.34, PAR 1.00.2)
For option -c (compile) M:SD used to wrap the file in one big sub and
appended an END block where it dumps %INC etc; the outer sub causes problems
with certain contructs. Instead we now use an INIT block prepended
to the file.
* RT #69471: Problem with "eval { require SomeModule }" constructions
Module::ScanDeps::DataFeed now omits %INC pairs with an undefined value
(these may be created by an unsuccessful "require" under certain conditions).
Also omit CODE refs from @INC.
* Fix for failing CPAN Testers report
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/4208fa16-a5d1-11e0-a0bc-c71a7862a918:
Perl 5.15.0 got rid of Shell.pm
* Fix for failing CPAN Testers report
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/772147dc-6c1f-1014-baf2-318eb63ba09a:
- regex meta characters in filenames break consistency check
* Simplify Module::ScanDeps::DataFeed somewhat by localizing %INC
around "require Module::ScanDeps::DataFeed" and by using Data::Dumper
for the actual dump.
* Don't create the tempfiles for DataFeed in the working directory.
* Purge all pod from Module::ScanDeps::DataFeed, advise the CPAN
indexer not to bother with it; same for Module::ScanDeps::Cache.
[Changes for 1.02 - 2011-04-03]
* %Preload: add _all_ *.pl file below .../unicore for utf8.pm
[Changes for 1.01 - 2011-03-26]
* %Preload: add "unicore/version" for Unicode/UCD.pm
(because it contains a call openunicode(..., "version"))
[Changes for 1.00 - 2011-02-19]
* RT #65855: Special handling for POSIX requested (Roderich Schupp)
* RT #65252: Temp files left when execute fails (Roderich Schupp)
* add a %Preload rule for Log::Report::Dispatcher (Roderich Schupp)
cf. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.par/2011/01/msg4871.html
* add %Preload rule for Date::Manip (Roderich Schupp)
* speed up scanning *significantly* by not re-constructing regexen
for every line of input and reducing the no. of sub calls (Steffen Mueller)
* add Eric Roode to AUTHORS (Steffen Mueller)
* RT #61027: "use lib" does not work (Roderich Schupp)
scan_line(): When handling "use lib '/some/dir'" we add "/some/dir/ARCHNAME",
"/some/dir/VER" and "/some/dir/VER/ARCHNAME", but forgot
to add "/some/dir" itself.
While we're at it, improve parsing the argument list of "use lib".
Simply eval the string, this should at least make all forms of
quoted strings work correctly.
* fix URI special case (clkao)
* fix a regression reported by CPAN Testers (Roderich Schupp)
* finally: bump version to 1.00
