* Move license text to a plain text file without ReST marketlloyd2015-01-101-0/+47

* Rename all text files that are actually reStructuredText to .rstlloyd2012-07-011-48/+0

* Update copyright for 2012.lloyd2012-06-091-16/+15
| | | | | | | | | | In the disclaimer text, replace "AUTHOR(S)" and "AUTHOR(S) OR CONTRIBUTOR(S)" with "COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS" and "COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTORS", resp. I thought in 38051c192886db139918c59d31c2e1faa9ea8cee I had made the license totally identical with the official BSD-2 text, however clearly I originally got the disclaimer text from somewhere else. Reindent.
* Tick version numbers to 1.10.0lloyd2011-04-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | More documentation updates. The clean target wasn't removing one of the symlinks. In the self-test application, warn if the version we are linked against does not match the version we were built against. This always indicates a problem. Someone who had an older version installed on their system got very confused when the test app was linked against it at runtime; this warning would have saved a couple hours of puzzling by me. This would also have helped avoid the nasty bug in 1.8.3
* Convert most of the documentation to reStructured Text, addinglloyd2011-04-041-42/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a makefile to build it with Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/). Previously credits.txt listed public domain code sources; instead directly credit the authors in the relevant files and delete that file. Drop the draft FIPS 140 security policy; I can't imagine FIPS 140 validation will ever happen, and if it does, I don't want anything to do with it. Also drop the internals doc, which was so out of date (and incomplete) as to be worthless. Move the tutorials and InSiTo pdfs into old/ for the time being, until anything relevant from them can be filtered out and converted into RST.
* Add a new configure.py option --distribution-info which sets a macrolloyd2011-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in build.h named BOTAN_DISTRIBUTION_INFO. The default value is 'unspecified'. People packaging botan could set this to another value, for instance 'Gentoo 1.9.13-r3' or 'Debian 1.9.13-1', or 'pristine' to indicate a completely unmodified/stock version. This was suggested by Zooko for Crypto++ in http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cryptopp/ticket/11 and seemed like an idea worth stealing. Don't default the version datestmap to the current day if unset, instead set to zero. This allows applications to detect unreleased versions. Document that version_datestamp will return zero for unreleased versions. Change the version_string function to return more information about the current version, including the release date and distribution information. It will now return strings like: Botan 1.9.13 (released 20110207, distribution Gentoo 1.9.13-r3) or for an unreleased version: Botan 1.9.13 (unreleased version, distribution unspecified)
* I had listed Olivier de Gaalon in the license, for the SQLite codec,lloyd2010-03-121-0/+1

* Minor changes to the license.lloyd2009-07-251-13/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the phrase 'for any use' - implied by the conditions. Add 'All rights reserved.' after the (C) notice. Remove the name+URL in the text and lead off with a statement that Botan is distributed under the following terms: <blah> Combine the two all-CAPS sentences disclaiming warranty into a single paragraph. The main reasoning behind this is to make the actual license text totally equivalent to the FreeBSD/NetBSD licenses, which is an offical Open Source(tm) license as declared by the OSI.
* Check in a branch with a major redesign on how entropy polling is performed.lloyd2009-01-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combine the fast and slow polls, into a single poll() operation. Instead of being given a buffer to write output into, the EntropySource is passed an Entropy_Accumulator. This handles the RLE encoding that xor_into_buf used to do. It also contains a cached I/O buffer so entropy sources do not individually need to allocate memory for that with each poll. When data is added to the accumulator, the source specifies an estimate of the number of bits of entropy per byte, as a double. This is tracked in the accumulator. Once the estimated entropy hits a target (set by the constructor), the accumulator's member function predicate polling_goal_achieved flips to true. This signals to the PRNG that it can stop performing polling on sources, also polls that take a long time periodically check this flag and return immediately. The Win32 and BeOS entropy sources have been updated, but blindly; testing is needed. The test_es example program has been modified: now it polls twice and outputs the XOR of the two collected results. That helps show if the output is consistent across polls (not a good thing). I have noticed on the Unix entropy source, occasionally there are many 0x00 bytes in the output, which is not optimal. This also needs to be investigated. The RLE is not actually RLE anymore. It works well for non-random inputs (ASCII text, etc), but I noticed that when /dev/random output was fed into it, the output buffer would end up being RR01RR01RR01 where RR is a random byte and 00 is the byte count. The buffer sizing also needs to be examined carefully. It might be useful to choose a prime number for the size to XOR stuff into, to help ensure an even distribution of entropy across the entire buffer space. Or: feed it all into a hash function? This change should (perhaps with further modifications) help WRT the concerns Zack W raised about the RNG on the monotone-dev list.
* Add Technische Universitat Darmstadt as a copyright holder (some oflloyd2008-10-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | the people who worked on InSiTo are from that organization). They were listed as a copyright holder in the InSiTo license file but not individually in any source file, so I missed them before now. Also mark Martin Doering's copyright as 2007-2008 (also to match InSiTo's license.txt)

| | | | | | | | | a) I am sure we really want to include this (proprietary, unanalyzed?) PRNG in Botan b) I have a chance to add test cases and clean up the code. Also note a few more changes in the changelog, and set a provisial release date for sometime in July.

* Mass update of the copyright date. Honestly I don't know why I bother,lloyd2008-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | but might as well keep it up to date. And it's easier to do it once with a 'perl -pi' command than to update each file over time. Apologies to anyone looking at diffs.
