+Version 1.9.13, 2011-02-19
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+GOST 34.10 signatures were being formatted in a way that was not
+compatible with other implemenations, and specifically how GOST is
+used in DNSSEC.
+
+The Keccak hash function was updated to the tweaked variant proposed
+for round 3 of the NIST hash competition. This version is not
+compatible with the previous algorithm.
+
+A new option ``--distribution-info`` was added to the configure
+script. It allows the user building the library to set any
+distribution-specific notes on the build, which are available as a
+macro ``BOTAN_DISTRIBUTION_INFO``. The default value is
+'unspecified'. If you are building an unmodified version of botan
+(especially for distribution), and want to indicate to applications
+that this is the case, consider using
+``--distribution-info=pristine``. If you are making any patches or
+modifications, it is recommended to use
+``--distribution-info=[Distribution Name] [Version]``, for instance
+'FooNix 1.9.13-r3'.
+
+Some bugs preventing compilation under Clang 2.9 and Sun Studio 12
+were fixed.
+
+The DER/BER codecs use ``size_t`` instead of ``u32bit`` for small
+integers
