The changelog for 1.9.4 claimed that the default PKCS #8 encryption
algorithm had changed to AES-256. This was wrong, it actually changed to AES-128. However in retrospect AES-256 is probably a reasonable move (in particular for the 4 extra rounds; the related key attacks possible against AES-256 are probably not viable since we generate the key using PBKDF2), so update the 1.9.4 changelog to correctly indicate the change made in that release, and also modify PKCS #8 to actually use AES-256.
