[Bcrypt-users] Fork on github

[Guillaume C. <gca...@de...>]

Hi,


Since some time, I use a home-made patched version of bcrypt to fix some 
memory issues I get (especially, reduce the very high memory usage [1], 
that may interest some people).

I just cleaned up my fixes and set up a git repository at github:
https://github.com/casta/bcrypt

I also did some source code reorganization to suits my needs, and 
dropped the windows specific code: I do the windows build using mingw 
that works very well and allow to use the same source code for both Unix 
and Windows versions.

Currently tested on windows (7) and Linux (ubuntu 11.04, 12.04 and 
Gentoo)

There is still room for improvement, especially at the compression step: 
use a stream instead of allocating the entire file at the same time, but 
this would need a lot more code changes.


Feel free to comment, use, fork again... And thanks to the original 
authors !
