+Version 1.9.4, 2010-03-09
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Add the Ajisai SSLv3/TLSv1.0 implementation
+
+* Add GOST 34.10-2001 public key signature scheme
+* Add SIMD implementation of Noekeon
+
+* Add SSE2 implementation of IDEA
+
+* Extend Salsa20 to support longer IVs (XSalsa20)
+
+* Perform XTS encryption and decryption in parallel where possible
+
+* Perform CBC decryption in parallel where possible
+
+* Add SQLite3 db encryption codec, contributed by Olivier de Gaalon
+
+* Add a block cipher cascade construction
+
+* Add support for password hashing for authentication (passhash9.h)
+
+* Add support for Win32 high resolution system timers
+
+* Major refactoring and API changes in the public key code
+
+* PK_Signer class now verifies all signatures before releasing them to
+ the caller; this should help prevent a wide variety of fault
+ attacks, though it does have the downside of hurting signature
+ performance, particularly for DSA/ECDSA.
+
+* Changed S2K interface: derive_key now takes salt, iteration count
+
+* Remove dependency on TR1 shared_ptr in ECC and CVC code
+
+* Renamed ECKAEG to its more usual name, ECDH
+
+* Fix crash in GMP_Engine if library is shutdown and reinitialized
+
+* Fix an invalid memory read in MD4
+
+* Fix Visual C++ static builds
+
+* Remove Timer class entirely
+
+* Switch default PKCS #8 encryption algorithm from 3DES to AES-128
+
+* New configuration option, ``--gen-amalgamation``, creates a pair of
+ files (``botan_all.cpp`` and ``botan_all.h``) which contain the
+ contents of the library as it would have normally been compiled
+ based on the set configuration.
+
+* Many headers are now explicitly internal-use-only and are not installed
+
+* Greatly improve the Win32 installer
+
+* Several fixes for Visual C++ debug builds
