Hello! The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.5.2. 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 1.5.2: * Added support for IDEA. * Made the Padlock code work again (regression since 1.5.0). * Fixed alignment problems for Serpent. * Fixed two bugs in ECC computations. Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html . On the primary server the source file and its digital signatures is: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.2.tar.bz2 (1.5M) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.2.tar.bz2.sig This file is bzip2 compressed. A gzip compressed version is also available: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.2.tar.gz (1.8M) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.2.tar.gz.sig Alternativley you may upgrade version 1.5.1 using this patch file: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.1-1.5.2.diff.bz2 (12k) The SHA-1 checksums are: c9998383532ba3e8bcaf690f2f0d65e814b48d2f libgcrypt-1.5.2.tar.bz2 fb54bfea3e276a366009c5a6296eb83cf5e7c14b libgcrypt-1.5.2.tar.gz 086ac76cf91987f66666872cc7d5d5d33c68967e libgcrypt-1.5.1-1.5.2.diff.bz2 For help on developing with Libgcrypt you should read the included manual and optional ask on the gcrypt-devel mailing list [1]. 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.
