2.7a1
=====
* Experimental release. This introduces a new API for AEAD modes, and
makes a few other minor API changes. These APIs should be considered
experimental, and may be changed before the final release.
* New API for authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD):
- New block cipher modes:
- MODE_CCM
- MODE_EAX
- MODE_GCM
- MODE_SIV
- New methods:
- .encrypt_and_digest()
- .decrypt_and_verify()
- .digest()
- .verify()
- New MAC algorithm:
- Crypto.Cipher.CMAC
- New .verify() and .hexverify() methods also added to Hash and
HMAC/CMAC objects, providing constant-time hash comparison.
(Thanks: Legrandin, Lucas Garron)
* LP#1132550: Fix MODE_OPENPGP not accepting uppercase 'IV' kwarg.
* LP#1119552: Fix PKCS#1v1.5 not accepting signatures without the
optional NULL parameter
* Add support for import/export of DSA keys. (Thanks: Legrandin)
* Add support for PKCS#8-encrypted private keys. (Thanks: Legrandin)
* LP#996193: Fix MODE_OFB requiring padding (it now behaves as a stream
cipher)
* Improve C extension autodocs
* Remove pointless 'error' attribute from stream ciphers.
* Deprecate the disable_shortcut option to Crypto.Util.Counter;
Remove __PCT_CTR_SHORTCUT__ entirely.
* Fix small MODE_CTR memory leak under Python 3.
* Fix error importing winrandom on Python 3. (Thanks: Jason R. Coombs)
* FortunaAccumulator: Use time.monotonic for rate-limiting if available
(i.e. Python 3.3 and later)
* AES-NI support (Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* setup.py: Fix compilation on HP-UX 11.31. (Thanks: Adam Woodbeck)
* ElGamal: Add blinding to ElGamal decryption. (Thanks: Legrandin)
* Hash: Remove pure-Python wrappers (speeds up hash init 4x-7x)
* Hash: Add generic Crypto.Hash.new(algo, [data]) function
(like hashlib.new)
* Hash: Remove 'oid' attributes; Add 'name' attributes for compatibility
with hashlib.
* Hash: Rename SHA -> SHA1 and RIPEMD -> RIPEMD160, since the original
names are frequently used as the names of other algorithms.
* setup.py: Use autoconf to generate compiler options;
Fix OpenBSD build issues.
* Fix RSA object serialization (i.e. pickle)
* LP#1061217: random.shuffle takes O(n^2) time.
(Thanks: Sujay Jayakar, Andrew Cooke)
* _fastmath: Fix leaks when errors occur.
(Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher, Andreas Stührk)
* SHA256/224/384/512: Don't export symbol 'add_length'
* setup.py: Use os.chmod instead of os.system("chmod ...").
(Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* setup.py: The 'test' command now runs the 'build' command first.
(Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* New tools/create-pythons.sh and tools/test-all.sh scripts for testing
against multiple versions of Python.
* getStrongProne: Fix error handling (Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* ARC4: Add ARC4-drop[n] cipher support. (Thanks: Legrandin)
* RSA.importKey: Properly catch IndexError. (Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* RSA.exportKey: Raise ValueError as documented when key format is
unknown. (Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* RSA.exportKey: Always return bytes (Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* Fix & re-enable some broken tests (Thanks: Sebastian Ramacher)
* Improve Python 3 compatibility
* Various documentation fixes and improvements
(Thanks: Anton Rieder, Legrandin, Sebastian Ramacher, Stefano Rivera)
* Various cleanups, especially for Python 3.
