[Botan-announce] Botan 1.3.13

[Jack L. <ll...@ra...>]

Botan 1.3.13 is out with minor bugfixes. The compilation problem with 1.3.12
was fixed, and support for Cygwin is much better than previous releases. I have
only tested with a very recent (last week) Cygwin with the MinGW libraries
installed, if you have an older version that you are planning on using with
Botan at some point, I would recommend checking it and seeing if there are any
fixes necessary. One problem that I noticed on Cygwin was that the check
application will fail if the GnuMP engine is used; the OpenSSL engine works
fine. Other than that it's looking pretty good, though.

Another (related) change was the the autoconfiguration code has been fixed up a
fair bit, so it should pull in most of the modules that it can use on your
system. The exception is the compression and engine modules, because they
require external (non-OS) libraries.
