* Version 2.0.0 (released 2012-10-10)

** libpskc, pskctool: New components.
The OATH Toolkit now supports the Portable Symmetric Key Container
(PSKC) data format specified in RFC 6030 for dealing with key
provisioning.  There is a new low-level library libpskc for managing
PSKC data for application developers and a new command line tool
pskctool for interacting with PSKC data for users.  The PSKC
functionality depends on Libxml2 <http://xmlsoft.org/>.  It can be
disabled unconditionally using the ./configure-parameter
--disable-pskc.

** liboath: Add manpages for library API.

** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

The OATH Toolkit makes it easy to build one-time password
authentication systems.  It contains shared libraries, command line
tools and a PAM module.  Supported technologies include the
event-based HOTP algorithm (RFC4226) and the time-based TOTP algorithm
(RFC6238).  OATH stands for Open AuTHentication, which is the
organization that specify the algorithms.  For managing secret key
files, the Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) format described in
RFC6030 is supported.

The components included in the package is:

  * liboath: A shared and static C library for OATH handling.

  * oathtool: A command line tool for generating and validating OTPs.

  * pam_oath: A PAM module for pluggable login authentication for OATH.

  * libpskc: A shared and static C library for PSKC handling.

  * pskctool: A command line tool for manipulating PSKC data.
