Version 2.4.0, Not Yet Released
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-* Optimizations for OCB, CFB, SM3, SM4, GMAC, GCM (GH #1253 #1262),
- CAST-128/CAST-256 (GH #1247), TLS-CBC ciphersuites (GH #1269)
+* Support for negotiating the DH group as specified in RFC 7919 is now
+ available in TLS (GH #1263)
-* Reduce the overhead of ffi calls.
+* Add support for verifying X.509 objects (certificates, CRLs, etc) using
+ RSA-PSS signatures (GH #1270)
+
+* Optimize GCM mode on systems both with and without carryless
+ multiply support. This includes a new base case implementation
+ (still constant time), a new SSSE3 implementation for systems with
+ SSSE3 but not clmul, and better algorithms for systems with clmul
+ and pmull. (GH #1253 #1263)
+
+* Various optimizations for OCB, CFB, CTR, SM3, SM4, GMAC
+
+* New functions for bit rotations that distinguish rotating by a
+ compile-time constant vs a runtime variable rotation. This allows
+ better optimizations in both cases. Notably performance of CAST-128
+ and CAST-256 are substantially improved. (GH #1247)
+
+* TLS CBC ciphersuites now are implemented using the standard CBC
+ code, instead of reimplementing CBC inside the TLS stack. This
+ allows for parallel decryption of TLS CBC ciphertexts, and improves
+ performance especially when using AES hardware support. (GH #1269)
+
+* Fix a bug in the amalgamation generation which could cause build
+ failures on some systems including macOS. (GH #1264 #1265)
+
+* The overhead of making a call through the FFI layer has been reduced.
* The IDs for SHA-3 PKCSv1.5 signatures added in 2.3.0 were incorrect.
They have been changed to use the correct encoding, and a test added
