Version 1.9.13, 2011-02-19
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

GOST 34.10 signatures were being formatted in a way that was not
compatible with other implemenations, and specifically how GOST is
used in DNSSEC.

The Keccak hash function was updated to the tweaked variant proposed
for round 3 of the NIST hash competition. This version is not
compatible with the previous algorithm.

A new option ``--distribution-info`` was added to the configure
script. It allows the user building the library to set any
distribution-specific notes on the build, which are available as a
macro ``BOTAN_DISTRIBUTION_INFO``. The default value is
'unspecified'. If you are building an unmodified version of botan
(especially for distribution), and want to indicate to applications
that this is the case, consider using
``--distribution-info=pristine``. If you are making any patches or
modifications, it is recommended to use
``--distribution-info=[Distribution Name] [Version]``, for instance
'FooNix 1.9.13-r3'.

Some bugs preventing compilation under Clang 2.9 and Sun Studio 12
were fixed.

The DER/BER codecs use ``size_t`` instead of ``u32bit`` for small
integers
