- fix warnings on clang

1.7.5

- standardize Cubehash implementation
	(all implications for FMTSeq keys and KeyIDs are documented in FAQ)

- remove obsolete MCE-QD

1.7.4

- maintenance release that fixes some cosmetic issues for debianization

1.7.3

- tiny fixes in mce_qcmdpc to improve decoding

- better autoconfiguration of crypto++ include path
- support redirection to `-'
- add -E option
- update docs a bit
- correctly escape outputs

1.7.1

- rewrite QC-MDPC decoding for speed (still around O(wi^2))
- fix the padding broken on non-byte-aligned numbers

1.7

- add QC-MDPC McEliece variant
- mark QD McEliece as broken
- reimplement bit vectors (for speed)
- some code quality updates
- prevent mangling of command line output by crafted keyring

1.6.1

- simplify padding for symmetric encryption
- fix possible known-plaintext attack against symmetric encryption padding

1.6

- fix fmtseq short message padding bug (fixed by previous)
- virtualize the stream ciphers
- add ChaCha20
- add XSYND
- remove RC4 from standard PRNG
- fix possible side-channel attack on F-O decryption timing
- remove RC4 usage from FMTSEQ, replace with ChaCha20, rename algos
- add support for symmetric encryption (long files!)
- add several new encryption ciphers (use xsynd and chacha)
- add convenience aliases for --gen-key

1.5

- add hashfile support with -S
- gf2m log/antilog saving, and several other speedups
- switched to icase matching for key names

1.4.1
