Revision history for Perl extension Crypt::CBC.
2.17    Mon Jan  9 18:22:51 EST 2006
        -IMPORTANT NOTE: Versions of this module prior to 2.17 were incorrectly
	using 8 byte IVs when generating the old-style RandomIV style header
	(as opposed to the new-style random salt header). This affects data
        encrypted using the Rijndael algorithm, which has a 16 byte blocksize,
        and is a significant security issue.

        The bug has been corrected in versions 2.17 and higher by making it
        impossible to use 16-byte block ciphers with RandomIV headers. You may
        still read legacy encrypted data by explicitly passing the 
        -insecure_legacy_decrypt option to Crypt::CBC->new().

        -The salt, iv and key are now reset before each complete encryption
         cycle. This avoids inadvertent reuse of the same salt.

        -A new -header option has been added that allows you to select
         among the various types of headers, and avoids the ambiguity
         of having multiple interacting options.

        -A new random_bytes() method provides access to /dev/urandom on
         suitably-equipped hardware.

2.16	Tue Dec  6 14:17:45 EST 2005
	- Added two new options to new():
		-keysize   => <bytes>  Force the keysize -- useful for Blowfish
		-blocksize => <bytes>  Force the blocksize -- not known to be useful

		("-keysize=>16" is necessary to decrypt OpenSSL messages encrypted with
			Blowfish)

2.15	Thu Nov 17 17:34:28 EST 2005
	- -add_header=>0 now explicitly turns off any attempt of parsing the header
		in decrypt routines.

2.14	Thu May  5 16:08:15 EDT 2005
	- RandomIV in message header overrides manually-supplied -salt, as one
	would expect it should.

2.13	Fri Apr 22 13:01:32 EDT 200
	- Added OpenSSL compatibility
	- Salt and IV generators take advantage of /dev/urandom device, if available
	- Reorganized internal structure for coding clarity
	- Added regression test for PCBC mode

2.12	Thu Jun 17 11:52:04 EDT 2004
	- quenched (again) uninitialized variable warnings

2.11	Thu Jun  3 12:07:33 EDT 2004
	-Fixed bug reported by Joshua Brown that caused certain length
	strings to not encrypt properly if ending in a "0" character.

2.10	Sat May 29 13:10:05 EDT 2004
	-Fixed Rijndael compat problems

2.09	Thu May 27 11:18:06 EDT 2004
	-Quenched uninitialized variable warnings

2.08	Wed Sep 11 08:12:49 EDT 2002
	-Bug fix from Chris Laas to fix custom padding

2.07	Thu Aug  8 14:44:52 EDT 2002
	-Bug fixes from Stephen Waters to fix space padding
	-Lots of regression tests from Stephen Waters

2.05	Tue Jun 11 22:18:04 EDT 2002
	-Makes zero-and-one padding compatible with Crypt::Rijndael::MODE_CBC.
	-Lots of improvements to padding mechanisms from Stephen Waters

2.04	Tue Jun 11 22:18:04 EDT 2002
	WITHDRAWN VERSION DO NOT USE

2.03	Mon Feb  4 15:41:51 EST 2002
	-Patch from Andy Turner <turner@mikomi.org> to allow backward
	compatibility with old versions when key length exceeded max.

2.02	Thu Jan 24 00:15:52 EST 2002
	- Default to pre-2.00 style padding, because Jody's default padding
		method was not binary safe.

2.01	Mon Dec 10 12:11:35 EST 2001
	- Removed debugging code.

2.00	Tue Oct 31, 2000
	- Patches for foreign program compatibility, initialization vectors
		and padding methods from Jody Biggs <jody.biggs@paymybills.com>

1.25    Thu Jun  8 11:56:28 EDT 2000
	- Bug fix didn't get into version 1.24.  Is in version 1.25

1.24    Tue Jun  6 17:35:18 EDT 2000
	- Fixed a bug that prevented a DES and an IDEA object from being
		used simultaneously.

1.22	Wed Jan 26 19:07:30 EST 2000
	- Added support for Crypt::Blowfish (available from www.cryptix.org)
	- Fixed failure to encrypt data files < 8 bytes
	- Fixed -w warning when decrypting data files < 8 bytes
	
1.21	Mon Nov 29 17:11:17 EST 1999
	- Generate random initialization vector.
	- Use same encryption format as Ben Laurie's patches to OpenSSL (versions >= 0.9.5)

1.20  Sun Dec 20 3:58:01 1998 MET
	- Folded in bug fixes from Devin Carraway <aqua@sonic.net>
	(chiefly having to do with finish() being called with a
	zero-length buffer).

1.10  Thu Sep 11 09:15:01 1998
	- Changed package name to Crypt::CBC

1.00  Tue Jun 16 07:37:35 1998
	- original version; created by h2xs 1.18
