--=Guantanamo-Mossad-kibo-Mena-SCUD-missile-clones-Zachawi-EuroFed=cyph Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello!=20 The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.4.6. 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.=20 Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.6: * New variants of the TIGER algorithm.=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 * New cipher algorithm mode for AES-WRAP. 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 signature is: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.6.tar.bz2 (1125k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.6.tar.bz2.sig This file is bzip2 compressed.

Note that this version is from the stable branch; the current development version is available at <svn://cvs.gnupg.org/libgcrypt/trunk> . Improving Libgcrypt is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find Libgcrypt useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software [2], order extensions or support or more general by donating money to the Free Software movement (e.g. <http://www.fsfe.org/donate/>). Commercial support contracts for Libgcrypt are available [3], and they help finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based company, is currently funding Libgcrypt development. We are always looking for interesting development projects. 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] Note that copyright assignments to the FSF are required.
