53 * catacomb2: Use the correct Oakley 2048 group. For a long time, this
54 was a duplicate of the Oakley 1536 group. There's a compatibility
55 break here, but it's for the best.
56 * catacomb2: Include `.note.GNU-stack' sections in the assembler code,
57 so that the process stack doesn't get marked executable.

77 * catacomb2: Fix poor performance (and wrong answers for very small
78 numbers) in prime generation.
79 * catacomb2: Return numbers of exactly the requested length in prime and
80 public-key generation. The `strongprime' and `limlee' algorithms have
81 changed as a result; previously verifiable parameters generated using
82 this algorithm won't be verifiable any more.
83 * catacomb-dev: Deprecate the old `dsa' functions. Use `gdsa' instead.

133 * catacomb-dev: New conversions between MP integers and C integer types.
134 * catacomb2: Change gcipher for Seal incompatibly. The IV is now
135 big-endian bytes (rather than `uint32'), and the `block size' is 4.
136 * catacomb2: Mix a constant string into DSA nonce generation to improve
137 resistance to protocol interference.
138 * catacomb2: Fix the freewheel random source, which hasn't been enabled
139 for ages due to a configure-script bug.
140 * catacomb-bin: The key tool can now read and write multiple
141 presentations for key fingerprints.
