115 numbers) in prime generation.
116 * catacomb2: Return numbers of exactly the requested length in prime and
117 public-key generation. The `strongprime' and `limlee' algorithms have
118 changed as a result; previously verifiable parameters generated using
119 this algorithm won't be verifiable any more.

171 * catacomb2: Change gcipher for Seal incompatibly. The IV is now
172 big-endian bytes (rather than `uint32'), and the `block size' is 4.
173 * catacomb2: Mix a constant string into DSA nonce generation to improve
174 resistance to protocol interference.
175 * catacomb2: Fix the freewheel random source, which hasn't been enabled
176 for ages due to a configure-script bug.
