Dear subscribers,

We've just posted release 2.0.0 of the all-new-and-improved crypto librar=
y=20
called BeeCrypt, and hope it will be to your satisfaction.

It can be downloaded at http://beecrypt.virtualunlimited.com/ or at=20
http://sourceforge.net/projects/beecrypt.

The changes for this version are:
    - Changed mp32barrett struct and operations to be multithread-safe; t=
his=20
required a change in API.
    - Changed hashFunction struct to incorporate internal block size=20
parameter.
    - Changed HMAC algorithm and file names to match names in RFC 2104.
    - Changed SHA-1 C code for slightly faster results.
    - Changed detection of entropy devices.
    - Changed most void-returning functions to return int for error=20
conditions.
    - Changed beecrypt-java class names in javaglue.
    - Added RSA keypair generation.
    - Added RSA private & public key operations.
    - Added SHA-256 hash function.
    - Added HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-256 keyed hash functions.
    - Added PKCS#5 padding.
    - Added DHAES encryption scheme.
    - Added Microsoft Visual C support, added Makefile.mak for this purpo=
se.
    - Added Solaris/Sparc Forte C 64 bit support.
    - Added configure --disable-optimized option (disables assembler &=20
processor-specific optimizations).
    - Fixed bug in SHA-1 assembler code for Pentium, where local variable=
s=20
were used below the current stack pointer; this could cause a problem if =
the=20
routine was interrupted. This was pointed out by Richard Clayton.
    - Fixed bug in (certain cases of) modular inverse computation.
    - Fixed buffer overrun in base64 encoding. This was pointed out by Jo=
n=20
Sturgeon.
    - Fixed various minor bugs.
    - Renamed text files to match automake conventions.

As always, your comments, remarks, bugs, etc. are welcome at=20
bee...@vi..., or in the appropriat SourceForge forums.  =
