Be warned that NewHope is still a very new scheme and may yet fall to analysis.
- For best assurance, it should be used only in combination with an existing key

-* Add support for TLS Encrypt-then-MAC extension (GH #492 and #578) which fixes

+ application passes an object implementing the TLS::Callbacks interface, which
+ has virtual functions matching the previous callbacks (plus some extras).
+ Full source compatability with previous versions is maintained for now, but
+ the old interface is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The

-* Add a new TLS Callbacks interface. Compatability with previous versions is

+* The format of the TLS session struct has changed (to support EtM), so old
+ TLS session caches will be invalidated.
* How the library presents optimized algorithm implementations has changed. For
example with the algorithm AES-128, previously there were three BlockCipher
classes AES_128, AES_128_SSSE3, and AES_128_NI which used (resp) a table-based
implementation vulnerable to side channels, a constant time version using
SSSE3 SIMD extensions on modern x86, and x86 AES-NI instructions. Using the
