NEWS for the 1.14 release
Experimental support for reading keys in PKCS#1 ASN1/DER format, and a new command line tool pkcs1-conv. Improved MD5 performance on x86.
Fixed support for sparc64.
Reorganized AES code. Better performance for all three implementations (C, x86 assembler, sparc assembler).
New sparc assembler for arcfour. Compared to the code generated by gcc, the new code is about 25% faster on old sparcs, and 6 times faster on ultrasparc.
Replaced the internal function nettle_mpz_from_octets with a call to mpz_import, if available in the installed GMP library.
More Makefile fixes; it now seems to work to build with the the make programs on Solaris and FreeBSD (although --disable-dependency-tracking is required for the latter).
The library is intended to be binary compatible with earlier versions. The library name is libnettle.so.2.5, soname is still libnettle.so.2.
