- update to 1.8.0:

+ Revised the incremental mode to let the current character counts 
    grow for each character position independently, with the aim to 
    improve efficiency in terms of successful guesses per candidate 
    passwords tested.
  + Revised the pre-defined incremental modes, as well as external
    mode filters that are used to generate .chr files.
  + Added makechr, a script to (re-)generate .chr files.
  + Enhanced the status reporting to include four distinct speed 
    metrics (g/s, p/s, c/s, and C/s).
  + Added the "--fork=N" and "--node=MIN[-MAX]/TOTAL" options for 
    trivial parallel and distributed processing.
  + In the external mode compiler, treat character literals as unsigned.
  + Renamed many of the formats.
  + Updated the documentation.
  + Relaxed the license for many source files to cut-down BSD.
  + Relaxed the license for John the Ripper as a whole from GPLv2 
    (exact version) to GPLv2 or newer with optional OpenSSL and 
    unRAR exceptions.
  + Assorted other changes have been made.
