I've made another release of GNU Nettle, a low-level
cryptographics library, to fix bugs reported for Nettle 3.1.
The Nettle home page can be found at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/, and the manual at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html.
NEWS for the Nettle 3.1.1 release
This release fixes a couple of non-critical bugs.
Bug fixes:
* By accident, nettle-3.1 disabled the assembly code for the
secp_224r1 and secp_521r1 elliptic curves on all x86_64
configurations, making signature operations on those curves
10%-30% slower. This code is now re-enabled.
* The x86_64 assembly implementation of gcm hashing has been
fixed to work with the Sun/Oracle assembler.
The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.1 and
libhogweed.so.4.1, with sonames still libnettle.so.6 and
libhogweed.so.4. It is intended to be fully binary compatible
with nettle-3.1.
