Announce loop-AES-v1.6b file/swap crypto package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



loop-AES changes since previous release:
- Fixed xgetpass() realloc error case handling bug.
- Fixed silly bug that enforced minimum password length if "-H rmd160" and
  "-S xxx" options were both used simultaneously.
- Added -T option to losetup. -T asks password twice.
- Added NONE, XOR and unhashed AES tests to "make tests" script.
- Fixed NONE transfer remap optimization bug (2.4 and 2.5 kernels).
- Changed loop_make_request() so that it may sleep (partially reverts
  loop-AES-v1.4d change to non-sleeping code).
- Added support for 2.5 kernels. Large part of 2.4 buffer_head to 2.5 bio
  porting work was done by Ben Slusky.
- "swapon -a" and "swapoff -a" now understand loop=/dev/loop? and
  encryption=AES128 options in /etc/fstab for easier encrypted swap setup.
- Make runs depmod with -F and -b options and kernel-version if they are
  needed and depmod understands them.
- Merged build-initrd.sh additional loop module parameter and chdir("/")
  fixes from Andreas Voegele.
- Added Dr Brian Gladman's copyright and terms to resulting object code so
  that binary distributions can avoid legal trouble.
- Makefile updated to be compatible with Keith Owens' new kbuild.
