- update to 1.7.6:

+ Generic crypt(3) support (enabled with "--format=crypt") has been 
    added for auditing password hash types supported by the system but 
    not yet supported by John's own optimized cryptographic routines 
    (such as "SHA-crypt" and SunMD5).
  + Optional parallelization of the above has been implemented by 
    means of OpenMP along with glibc's crypt_r(3)
  + Optional parallelization of John's own optimized code for the 
    OpenBSD-style Blowfish-based crypt(3) (bcrypt) hashes with OpenMP 
    has been added
  + A more suitable version of 32-bit x86 assembly code for Blowfish 
    is now chosen on Core i7 and similar CPUs (in 32 bit mode)
  + More optimal DES S-box expressions for PowerPC with AltiVec
  + The bitslice DES C source code has been reworked to allow for 
    the use of arbitrary SIMD intrinsics, which was previously only 
    implemented for AltiVec as a special case
  + Support for SSE2 and MMX intrinsics with bitslice DES (as an 
    alternative to the supplied assembly code) has been added 
    (currently only enabled for SSE2 on x86-64)
  + Support for mixed-type longer virtual vectors (such as SSE2+MMX, 
    SSE2+ALU, AltiVec+ALU, and other combinations) with bitslice 
    DES has been added
  + The loader will now detect password hashes specified on a line
    on their own, not only as part of an /etc/passwd or PWDUMP 
    format file
  + When run in "--stdin" mode and reading candidate passwords from 
    a terminal (to be typed by the user), John will no longer mess 
    with the terminal settings
  + John will now restore terminal settings not only on normal
