[<ald...@go...>]

Hi!

I am pleased to announce the release of Aldaba Knocking Server 0.1.3 and
version 0.1.5 of Aldaba Knocking Client.

Please download it from Aldaba's project page in Sourceforge.

CHANGELOG ALDABA CLIENT:

Version 0.1.5 Dec 24, 2007.

- New checksum format. From now on, SPA packets will use SHA256
checksums as MD5 is not secure anymore.

- SPA "command" field has been reduced from 200 bytes to 184 due to the
use of SHA256 checksums that take 16 bytes more than MD5.

- Added support for new encryption algorithms. Now, the following
ciphers can be used to encrypt/decrypt SPA packets:
        - Rijndael (AES contest winner)
        - Twofish  (AES contest third position)
        - Serpent  (AES contest second position)
        - Blowfish

Note that IP-Id technique needs to use blowfish because it needs ciphers
with a block size of 64bits or less.
