* Support for locking allocator on Windows using VirtualLock. GH #450
+Version 1.18.15, 2016-02-13
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+* NOTE WELL: Botan 1.8 is not supported for security issues anymore.
+ Moving to 1.10 or 1.11 is certainly recommended.
+* Fix CVE-2014-9742: Insufficient randomness in Miller-Rabin primality check
+* Fix CVE-2016-2194: Infinite loop in modulur square root algorithm
+* Fix CVE-2015-5726: Crash in BER decoder
+* Fix CVE-2015-5727: Excess memory allocation in BER decoder
+ Note: Unlike the fix in 1.10 which checks that the source actually
+ contains enough data to satisfy the read before allocating the
+ memory, 1.8.15 simply rejects all ASN.1 blocks larger than 1 MiB.
+ This simpler check avoids the problem without breaking ABI.
