* Update readme and log for 1.8.0 release 2008-12-081.8.0lloyd2008-12-081-1/+1

* Rickard Bondesson reported on botan-devel about some problems buildinglloyd2008-12-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on Solaris 10 with GCC 3.4.3. First, remove the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 in mmap_mem.cpp and unix_cmd.cpp, because apparently on Solaris defining this macro breaks C++ compilation entirely with GCC: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6395191 In es_egd.cpp and es_dev.cpp, include <fcntl.h> to get the declaration of open(), which is apparently where open(2) lives on Solaris - this matches the include the *BSD man pages for open(2) show, though AFAIK the BSDs all compiled fine without it (probably due to greater efforts to be source-compatible with Linux systems by *BSD developers). I have not been able to test these changes personally on Solaris but Rickard reports that with these changes everything compiles OK. Update lib version to 1.8.0-pre. ZOMG. Finally.

* Add a variant of EMSA3 called EMSA3_Raw which does not hash the data orlloyd2008-11-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | add a digest identifier. This was a feature requested on the mailing list. Apparently this scheme is called CKM_RSA_PKCS in PKCS #11, and is supported by a number of libraries, including QCA.
* Rickard Bondesson reported on the mailing list that he had noticedlloyd2008-11-282-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | a discrepency between OpenSSL and Botan when generating SHA-512/EMSA3 signatures. In fact it turns out that the EMSA3 identifier for SHA-512 contained a typo and was incorrect. Unfortunately this means that SHA-512/EMSA3 signatures generated by Botan up until now will not be accepted by other implementations, and the signatures by other implementations would not be accepted by Botan. Currently I am not making any provision for backwards compatability with the old incorrect hash identifier, since I am assuming/guessing that SHA-512/EMSA3 is not a very common combination.
* Add test_es, a program that polls each enabled entropy source (both fastlloyd2008-11-251-0/+101

Add ability to explicitly disable using TR1 with --with-tr1=none Add a marker in the cc info files specifiying if TR1 should be chosen by default. Yes, autoconf would be better for this than a static per-compiler setting. Yes, I totally hate autoconf. Yes, I would still consider autoconf patches. No, I'm not going to do it myself. :) I am looking forward to being able to safely adopt C++0x and TR2 throughout the library and make the need for a lot of this special-casing stuff go away. Until then, it seems better to defaulting to using tr1 (and thus, ECC) than not.

* Update the manual a bit, though really mostly this was deleting thingslloyd2008-11-171-643/+128

* Remove support for provider identifiers from SCAN_Name - it turns out thislloyd2008-11-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | was not the right place to keep track of this information. Also modify all Algorithm_Factory constructor functions to take instead of a SCAN_Name a pair of std::strings - the SCAN name and an optional provider name. If a provider is specified, either that provider will be used or the request will fail. Otherwise, the library will attempt best effort, based on user-set algorithm implementation settings (combine with benchmark.h for choosing the fastest implementation at runtime) or if not set, a static ordering (preset in static_provider_weight in prov_weight.cpp, though it would be nice to make this easier to toggle).
