libgcrypt 1.1.7 released
Hi,

I have just released version 1.1.7 of Libgcrypt. Please get it from

ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.7.tar.gz (677k)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.7.tar.gz.sig

A diff is also availabe but it is too huge and boring for any real
use (due to the license change).

Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.7 (2002-05-21)
------------------------------------------------

* Libgcrypt is now distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser
General Public License; see the README file for details.

* It is possible to use libgcrypt w/o intialized secure memory.

* Libgcrypt should now be thread safe after the initialization.
gcry_control (GCRYCRL_INITIALIZATION_FINISHED,NULL,0) should have
been called before creating additional threads.

* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.6 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GCRYCTL_DISABLE_INTERNAL_LOCKING NEW
GCRYCTL_DISABLE_SECMEM NEW
GCRYCTL_INITIALIZATION_FINISHED NEW
GCRYCTL_INITIALIZATION_FINISHED_P NEW
GCRYCTL_ANY_INITIALIZATION_P NEW
gcry_strdup NEW
gcry_sexp_create NEW
gcry_sexp_new NEW
gcry_set_progress_handler NEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The manual is in a quite bad state but I try to work on it in the next
weeks.

Salam-Shalom,

Werner
