3.20.0 (9 January 2024)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
---------------
* Added support for TurboSHAKE128 and TurboSHAKE256.
* Added method ``Crypto.Hash.new()`` to generate a hash
object given a hash name.
* Added support for AES-GCM encryption of PBES2 and PKCS#8
containers.
* Added support for SHA-2 and SHA-3 algorithms in PBKDF2
when creating PBES2 and PKCS#8 containers.
* Export of RSA keys accepts the ``prot_params`` dictionary
as parameter to control the number of iterations for PBKDF2
and scrypt.
* C unit tests also run on non-x86 architectures.
Resolved issues

* GH#787: Fixed autodetect logic for GCC 14 in combination with LTO.
3.19.1 (28 December 2023)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Resolved issues
---------------
* Fixed a side-channel leakage with OAEP decryption that could be
exploited to carry out a Manger attack (CVE-2023-52323). Thanks to Hubert Kario.
3.19.0 (16 September 2023)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
---------------
* The ``update()`` methods of TupleHash128 and TupleHash256 objects
can now hash multiple items (byte strings) at once.
Thanks to Sylvain Pelissier.
* Added support for ECDH, with ``Crypto.Protocol.DH``.
Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#754: due to a bug in ``cffi``, do not use it on Windows with Python 3.12+.
3.18.0 (18 May 2023)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
---------------
* Added support for DER BOOLEAN encodings.
* The library now compiles on Windows ARM64. Thanks to Niyas Sait.
Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#722: ``nonce`` attribute was not correctly set for XChaCha20_Poly1305 ciphers. Thanks to Liam Haber.
* GH#728: Workaround for a possible x86 emulator bug in Windows for ARM64.
* GH#739: OID encoding for arc 2 didn't accept children larger than 39. Thanks to James.
* Correctly check that the scalar matches the point when importing an ECC private key.
3.17.0 (29 January 2023)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
---------------
* Added support for the Counter Mode KDF defined in SP 800-108 Rev 1.
* Reduce the minimum tag length for the EAX cipher to 2 bytes.
* An RSA object has 4 new properties for the CRT coefficients:
``dp``, ``dq``, ``invq`` and ``invq`` (``invp`` is the same value
as the existing ``u``).
Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#526: improved typing for ``RSA.construct``.
* GH#534: reduced memory consumption when using a large number
of cipher objects.
* GH#598: fixed missing error handling for ``Util.number.inverse``.
* GH#629: improved typing for ``AES.new`` and the various
mode-specific types it returns. Thanks to Greg Werbin.
* GH#653: added workaround for an alleged GCC compiler bug
that affected Ed25519 code compiled for AVX2.
* GH#658: attribute ``curve`` of an ECC key was not always
the preferred curve name, as it used to be in v3.15.0
(independently of the curve name specified when generating
the key).
* GH#637: fixed typing for legacy modules ``PKCS1_v1_5`` and ``PKCS1_PSS``,
as their ``verify()`` returned a boolean.
* GH#664: with OCB mode, nonces of maximum length (15 bytes)
were actually used as 14 bytes nonces.
After this fix, data that was encrypted in past using the
(default) nonce length of 15 bytes can still be decrypted
by reducing the nonce to its first 14 bytes.
* GH#705: improved typing for ``nonce``, ``iv``, and ``IV`` parameters
of cipher objects.
Other changes
-------------
* Build PyPy wheels only for versions 3.8 and 3.9, and not for 3.7 anymore.
3.16.0 (26 November 2022)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* Build wheels for musl Linux. Thanks to Ben Raz.
Resolved issues

Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#590: Fixed typing info for ``Crypto.PublicKey.ECC``.
Other changes
-------------
* Relaxed ECDSA requirements for FIPS 186 signatures and accept any SHA-2 or SHA-3 hash.
``sign()`` and ``verify()`` will be performed even if the hash is stronger than the ECC key.
3.12.0 (4 December 2021)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* ECC keys in the SEC1 format can be exported and imported.
* Add support for KMAC128, KMAC256, TupleHash128, and TupleHash256 (NIST SP-800 185).

* GH#566: cSHAKE128/256 generated a wrong output for customization strings
longer than 255 bytes.
* GH#582: CBC decryption generated the wrong plaintext when the input and the output were the same buffer.
Thanks to Michael K. Ashburn.
3.11.0 (8 October 2021)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#512: Especially for very small bit sizes, ``Crypto.Util.number.getPrime()`` was
occasionally generating primes larger than given the bit size. Thanks to Koki Takahashi.
* GH#552: Correct typing annotations for ``PKCS115_Cipher.decrypt()``.
* GH#555: ``decrypt()`` method of a PKCS#1v1.5 cipher returned a ``bytearray`` instead of ``bytes``.
* GH#557: External DSA domain parameters were accepted even when the modulus (``p``) was not prime.
This affected ``Crypto.PublicKey.DSA.generate()`` and ``Crypto.PublicKey.DSA.construct()``.
Thanks to Koki Takahashi.
New features
------------
* Added cSHAKE128 and cSHAKE256 (of SHA-3 family). Thanks to Michael Schaffner.
* GH#558: The flag RTLD_DEEPBIND passed to ``dlopen()`` is not well supported by
`address sanitizers <https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/611>`_.
It is now possible to set the environment variable ``PYCRYPTDOME_DISABLE_DEEPBIND``
to drop that flag and allow security testing.
3.10.4 (25 September 2021)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Resolved issues
---------------
* Output of ``Crypto.Util.number.long_to_bytes()`` was not always a multiple of ``blocksize``.
3.10.3 (22 September 2021)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#376: Fixed symbol conflict between different versions of ``libgmp``.
* GH#481: Improved robustness of PKCS#1v1.5 decryption against timing attacks.
* GH#506 and GH#509: Fixed segmentation faults on Apple M1 and other Aarch64 SoCs,
when the GMP library was accessed via ``ctypes``. Do not use GMP's own sscanf
and snprintf routines: instead, use simpler conversion routines.
* GH#510: Workaround for ``cffi`` calling ``ctypes.util.find_library()``, which
invokes ``gcc`` and ``ld`` on Linux, considerably slowing down all imports.
On certain configurations, that may also leave temporary files behind.
* GH#517: Fix RSAES-OAEP, as it didn't always fail when zero padding was incorrect.
New features
------------
* Added support for SHA-3 hash functions to HMAC.
Other changes
-------------
* The Windows wheels of Python 2.7 now require the VS2015 runtime to be installed in the system,
because Microsoft stopped distributing the VS2008 compiler in April 2021.
VS2008 was used to compile the Python 2.7 extensions.

* GH#466: ``Crypto.Math.miller_rabin_test()`` was still using the system random
source and not the one provided as parameter.
* GH#469: RSA objects have the method ``public_key()`` like ECC objects.
The old method ``publickey()`` is still available for backward compatibility.
* GH#476: ``Crypto.Util.Padding.unpad()`` was raising an incorrect exception
in case of zero-length inputs. Thanks to Captainowie.
* GH#491: better exception message when ``Counter.new()`` is called with an integer
``initial_value`` than doesn't fit into ``nbits`` bits.
* GH#496: added missing ``block_size`` member for ECB cipher objects. Thanks to willem.
* GH#500: ``nonce`` member of an XChaCha20 cipher object was not matching the original nonce.
Thanks to Charles Machalow.
Other changes
-------------
* The bulk of the test vectors have been moved to the separate
package ``pycryptodome-test-vectors``. As result, packages ``pycryptodome`` and
``pycryptodomex`` become significantly smaller (from 14MB to 3MB).
* Moved CI tests and build service from Travis CI to GitHub Actions.
Breaks in compatibility
-----------------------
* Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.4.

* GH#232: Fixed problem with gcc 4.x when compiling ``ghash_clmul.c``.
* GH#238: Incorrect digest value produced by CMAC after cloning the object.
* Method ``update()`` of an EAX cipher object was returning the underlying CMAC object,
instead of the EAX object itself.
* Method ``update()`` of a CMAC object was not throwing an exception after the digest
was computed (with ``digest()`` or ``verify()``).
3.7.0 (27 October 2018)
+++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* Added support for Poly1305 MAC (with AES and ChaCha20 ciphers for key derivation).
* Added support for ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD cipher.
* New parameter ``output`` for ``Crypto.Util.strxor.strxor``, ``Crypto.Util.strxor.strxor_c``,
``encrypt`` and ``decrypt`` methods in symmetric ciphers (``Crypto.Cipher`` package).
``output`` is a pre-allocated buffer (a ``bytearray`` or a writeable ``memoryview``)
where the result must be stored.
This requires less memory for very large payloads; it is also more efficient when
encrypting (or decrypting) several small payloads.
Resolved issues
---------------
* GH#266: AES-GCM hangs when processing more than 4GB at a time on x86 with PCLMULQDQ instruction.
Breaks in compatibility
-----------------------

- AES-ECB and AES-CTR are 3x faster
- AES-GCM is 9x faster
Resolved issues
---------------
* On Windows, MPIR library was stilled pulled in if renamed to ``gmp.dll``.
Breaks in compatibility
-----------------------

for RSA, DSA, ECDSA, GCM, SIV, EAX, CMAC.
* New parameter ``mac_len`` (length of MAC tag) for CMAC.
Resolved issues
---------------
* In certain circumstances (at counter wrapping, which happens on average after
32 GB) AES GCM produced wrong ciphertexts.
* Method ``encrypt()`` of AES SIV cipher could be still called,
whereas only ``encrypt_and_digest()`` is allowed.
3.6.0 (8 April 2018)
++++++++++++++++++++
New features

more for longer passwords). Thanks to Christian Heimes for pointing
out the implementation was under-optimized.
* The salt for PBKDF2 can be either a string or bytes (GH#67).
* Ciphers and hash functions accept data as `bytearray`, not just
binary strings.
* The old SHA-1 and MD5 hash functions are available even when Python's
own `hashlib` does not include them.
Resolved issues
---------------
* Without libgmp, modular exponentiation (since v3.4.8) crashed
on 32-bit big-endian systems.

3.4.8 (27 January 2018)
+++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* Added a native extension in pure C for modular exponentiation, optimized for SSE2 on x86.
In the process, we drop support for the arbitrary arithmetic library MPIR
on Windows, which is painful to compile and deploy.
The custom modular exponentiation is 130% (160%) slower on an Intel CPU in 32-bit (64-bit) mode,
compared to MPIR. Still, that is much faster that CPython's own `pow()` function which
is 900% (855%) slower than MPIR. Support for the GMP library on Unix remains.
* Added support for *manylinux* wheels.
* Support for Python 3.7.
Resolved issues
---------------
* The DSA parameter 'p' prime was created with 255 bits cleared
(but still with the correct strength).

+++++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* Added ``Crypto.PublicKey.ECC`` module (NIST P-256 curve only), including export/import of ECC keys.
* Added support for ECDSA (FIPS 186-3 and RFC6979).
* For CBC/CFB/OFB/CTR cipher objects, ``encrypt()`` and ``decrypt()`` cannot be intermixed.
* CBC/CFB/OFB, the cipher objects have both ``IV`` and ``iv`` attributes.
``new()`` accepts ``IV`` as well as ``iv`` as parameter.
* For CFB/OPENPGP cipher object, ``encrypt()`` and ``decrypt()`` do not require the plaintext
or ciphertext pieces to have length multiple of the CFB segment size.
* Added dedicated tests for all cipher modes, including NIST test vectors
* CTR/CCM/EAX/GCM/SIV/Salsa20/ChaCha20 objects expose the ``nonce`` attribute.
* For performance reasons, CCM cipher optionally accepted a pre-declaration of
the length of the associated data, but never checked if the actual data passed
to the cipher really matched that length. Such check is now enforced.
* CTR cipher objects accept parameter ``nonce`` and possibly ``initial_value`` in
alternative to ``counter`` (which is deprecated).
* All ``iv``/``IV`` and ``nonce`` parameters are optional. If not provided,
they will be randomly generated (exception: ``nonce`` for CTR mode in case
of block sizes smaller than 16 bytes).
* Refactored ARC2 cipher.
* Added ``Crypto.Cipher.DES3.adjust_key_parity()`` function.
* Added ``RSA.import_key`` as an alias to the deprecated ``RSA.importKey``
(same for the ``DSA`` module).
* Added ``size_in_bits()`` and ``size_in_bytes()`` methods to ``RsaKey``.
Resolved issues
---------------
* RSA key size is now returned correctly in ``RsaKey.__repr__()`` method (kudos to *hannesv*).
* CTR mode does not modify anymore ``counter`` parameter passed to ``new()`` method.
* CTR raises ``OverflowError`` instead of ``ValueError`` when the counter wraps around.
* PEM files with Windows newlines could not be imported.
* ``Crypto.IO.PEM`` and ``Crypto.IO.PKCS8`` used to accept empty passphrases.
* GH#6: NotImplementedError now raised for unsupported methods ``sign``, ``verify``,
``encrypt``, ``decrypt``, ``blind``, ``unblind`` and ``size`` in objects ``RsaKey``, ``DsaKey``,
``ElGamalKey``.
Breaks in compatibility
-----------------------
* Parameter ``segment_size`` cannot be 0 for the CFB mode.
* For OCB ciphers, a final call without parameters to ``encrypt`` must end a sequence
of calls to ``encrypt`` with data (similarly for ``decrypt``).
* Key size for ``ARC2``, ``ARC4`` and ``Blowfish`` must be at least 40 bits long (still very weak).
* DES3 (Triple DES module) does not allow keys that degenerate to Single DES.
* Removed method ``getRandomNumber`` in ``Crypto.Util.number``.
* Removed module ``Crypto.pct_warnings``.
* Removed attribute ``Crypto.PublicKey.RSA.algorithmIdentifier``.
3.3.1 (1 November 2015)
+++++++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* Opt-in for ``update()`` after ``digest()`` for SHA-3, keccak, BLAKE2 hashes

+++++++++++++++++++
New features
------------
* Speed up execution of Public Key algorithms on PyPy, when backed
by the Gnu Multiprecision (GMP) library.
* GMP headers and static libraries are not required anymore at the time
PyCryptodome is built. Instead, the code will automatically use the
GMP dynamic library (.so/.DLL) if found in the system at runtime.
* Reduced the amount of C code by almost 40% (4700 lines).
Modularized and simplified all code (C and Python) related to block ciphers.
Pycryptodome is now free of CPython extensions.
* Add support for CI in Windows via Appveyor.
* RSA and DSA key generation more closely follows FIPS 186-4 (though it is
not 100% compliant).
Resolved issues
---------------
* None
Breaks in compatibility
-----------------------
* New dependency on ctypes with Python 2.4.
* The ``counter`` parameter of a CTR mode cipher must be generated via
``Crypto.Util.Counter``. It cannot be a generic callable anymore.
* Removed the ``Crypto.Random.Fortuna`` package (due to lack of test vectors).
* Removed the ``Crypto.Hash.new`` function.
* The ``allow_wraparound`` parameter of ``Crypto.Util.Counter`` is ignored.
An exception is always generated if the counter is reused.
* ``DSA.generate``, ``RSA.generate`` and ``ElGamal.generate`` do not
accept the ``progress_func`` parameter anymore.
* Removed ``Crypto.PublicKey.RSA.RSAImplementation``.
* Removed ``Crypto.PublicKey.DSA.DSAImplementation``.
* Removed ambiguous method ``size()`` from RSA, DSA and ElGamal keys.
