v0.5.4

v0.5.4 2017-01-31:

• Relicense from BSD2 to ISC.
• Support MirageOS 3.0.
• Replace OASIS with topkg.
• Stricter base64 decoding.

Now with more Spring Equinox

0.5.3 (2016-03-21):

• Move from Camlp4 to PPX.
• Tweaked the supporting Cstruct module's API.
• Dh.shared returns option instead of throwing if the public message is degenerate.
• Base64.decode returns option instead of throwing

The mop

Several compatibility changes, having to do with hardware acceleration and Opam.

• Removes the use of Opam variables, compatible with opam-1.2.0 and up.
• Compatible with old C compilers; compatible with OpenBSD 5.8.

Several Species of Small Furry Animals

• Refuse to enable acceleration if the current host does not support it.
• Honor the nocrypto-inhibit-modernity opam variable.

The Faster-Than-Light Release

The highlight of this release is the use of AES-NI.

RNG APIs were changed to make them more flexible.

From the CHANGES.md:

0.5.0 (2015-07-02):

• support for AES-NI and SSE2
• support RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS
• drop ctypes for internal C calls
• generate smaller secret exponents for DH, making operations on large groups much faster
• support dynamic switching of RNG algorithms and decouple Rng from Fortuna
• module for injectring entropy into RNG on pure Unix (optional)
• Nocrypto_entropy_lwt.initialize no longer needs to be synchronized on
• renamed module signatures and modules containing only signatures from T to S
• changes to CTR, CBC, Rsa and Dh APIs

The Effervescing Elephant

• module for injecting entropy into RNG on Unix/Lwt (optional)
• module for injecting entropy into RNG on Mirage/Xen (optional; depends on mirage-entropy-xen)
• API changes in Rng
• do not 0-pad DH public and shared representations
• more named DH groups

If you edit src/dh.ml, you just might find @hannesm is hiding in there!

The Ditch-Your-OS minor

Now with Mirage/Xen compatibility. Shout-out to @talex5!

Break-my-API Christmas special

This one is mostly about breaking your API.

With a bit of luck, name clashes with the other libs are gone.
