These were renamed as it is likely that other - FPE schemes will be included in the future. The header is now - ``fpe_fe1.h``, and the functions are named ``fe1_encrypt`` and - ``fe1_decrypt``. - -* New options to ``configure.py`` control what tools are used for - documentation generation. The ``--with-sphinx`` option enables using - Sphinx to convert ReST into HTML; otherwise the ReST sources are - installed directly. If ``--with-doxygen`` is used, Doxygen will run - as well. Documentation generation can be triggered via the ``docs`` - target in the makefile; it will also be installed by the install - target on Unix. - -* A bug in 1.9.16 effectively disabled support for runtime CPU feature - detection on x86 under GCC in that release. - -* A mostly internal change, all references to "ia32" and "amd64" have - been changed to the vendor neutral and probably easier to understand - "x86-32" and "x86-64". For instance, the "mp_amd64" module has been - renamed "mp_x86_64", and the macro indicating x86-32 has changed - from ``BOTAN_TARGET_ARCH_IS_IA32`` to - ``BOTAN_TARGET_ARCH_IS_X86_32``. The classes calling assembly have - also been renamed. - -* Similiarly to the above change, the AES implemenations using the - AES-NI instruction set have been renamed from AES_XXX_Intel to - AES_XXX_NI. - -* Systems that are identified as `sun4u` will default to compiling for - 32-bit SPARCv9 code rather than 64-bit. This matches the still - common convention for 32-bit SPARC userspaces. If you want 64-bit - code on such as system, use ``--cpu=sparc64``. - -* Some minor fixes for compiling botan under the BeOS - clone/continuation `Haiku <http://haiku-os.org>`_. - -* Further updates to the documentation - |
