Hello! The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.5.1. This is a maintenance release for the stable branch. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt. Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.1: * Allow empty passphrase with PBKDF2. * Do not abort on an invalid algorithm number in gcry_cipher_get_algo_keylen and gcry_cipher_get_algo_blklen. * Fixed some Valgrind warnings. * Fixed a problem with select and high fd numbers. * Improved the build system * Various minor bug fixes. * Interface changes relative to the 1.5.0 release: GCRYCTL_SET_ENFORCED_FIPS_FLAG NEW. GCRYPT_VERSION_NUMBER NEW. Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html .

A listing with commercial support offers for Libgcrypt and related software is available at the GnuPG web site [2]. The driving force behind the development of Libgcrypt is my company g10 Code. Maintenance and improvement of Libgcrypt and related software takes up most of our resources. To allow us to continue our work on free software, we ask to either purchase a support contract, engage us for custom enhancements, or to donate money: http://g10code.com/gnupg-donation.html Many thanks to all who contributed to Libgcrypt development, be it bug fixes, code, documentation, testing or helping users. Happy hacking, Werner [1] See http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html . [2] See http://www.gnupg.org/service.html -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
