Philipp Thomas 9cac7e1d7b - Devel package now is versioned so multiple devel packages may
be installed in parallel.
- Devel package renamed back to Botan-devel to keep rpmlint from
  thinking it is a library package ...

- Update to 1.10.0:
  New Features:
  * SSL (SSLv3, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.1 are currently supported)
  * GOST 34.10-2001 signature scheme (a Russian ECC signature standard
    analogous to ECDSA)
  * The SHA-3 candidates Keccak and Blue Midnight Wish
  * Bcrypt password hashing
  * XSalsa20
  * AES key wrapping
  * Comb4P hash combinator.
  Other Changes:
  * The block cipher interface now exposes any possible parallelism
    available to the implementation, and XTS, CTR, and CBC modes have been
    changed to use them.
  * SIMD implementations of Serpent, XTEA, Noekeon, and IDEA have been
    added, as has an implementation of AES using SSSE3 which runs both in
    constant time and, on recent processors, significantly faster than the
    usual table based implementation.  There have also been numerous
    optimizations to elliptic curves.
  * The documentation, previously written in LaTeX, is now in
    reStructuredText, which is converted into HTML with Sphinx.  This new
    format is significantly easier to write, encouraging more documentation
    to be written and updated.  And, indeed, a number of features never
    before documented are now described in the manual.

Wed Sep 1 16:38:40 CEST 2010 - pth@suse.de
- Prefix last patch with Botan-.
- Enable building of the qt_mutex module. This means that from now
on libbotan requires libQtCore.
- Fix test for thread/mutex support to also work for Qt4.
- Update to 1.8.10:
* This release changes a number of aspects of how private keys are
encrypted. The default encryption algorithm has changed from 3DES
to AES-256
* The default iteration count for PBES1 and PBES2 encryption schemes
(which are used primarily to encrypt asymmetric keys like RSA or
DSA) has increased from 2048 to 10000, which should make brute
force key cracking substantially harder.
* The first round of AES now uses a smaller set of lookup tables;
this only reduces performance slightly but some timing and cache
analysis attacks against AES are substantially harder when AES is
implemented this way.
* The class known as S2K was renamed PBKDF in 1.9, with a typedef
for backwards compatibility. For providing an equivalent forward
compatibility path, 1.8.10 includes a typedef for PBKDF and a new
accessor function get_pbkdf. It also includes a new interface for
deriving keys with a passphrase which takes both the passphrase
and desired output length as well as the salt and iteration
count; in many cases this call is actually significantly more
convenient than the older API.
