Version 1.9.17, 2011-04-29 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Third release candidate for 1.10.0 * The format preserving encryption method currently available was presented in the header ``fpe.h`` and the functions ``fpe_encrypt`` and ``fpe_decrypt``. 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 `_. * Further updates to the documentation
