Botan 1.7.24-pre ????-??-?? http://botan.randombit.net/ This is the third release candidate of Botan 1.8.0. We consider it the best version of Botan available, and recommend all users upgrade from 1.6 or earlier versions as soon as possible. Some APIs have changed incompatibly since the 1.6 release series, but most applications should work as-is or with only simple modifications. You can file bugs in Bugzilla (http://www.randombit.net/bugzilla) or by sending a report to the botan-devel mailing list (http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/botan-devel) For more information, see info.txt, the build instructions, the API reference manual, and the tutorial, all of which can be found in the doc/ directory.
