STAGING: due lot of removed interfaces, staging would be really needed in this case
- update to 1.6.
* Removed the long deprecated gcry_ac interface. Thus Libgcrypt is
not anymore ABI compatible to previous versions if they used the ac
interface. Check NEWS in libgcrypt-devel for removed interfaces.
* Removed the module register subsystem.
* The deprecated message digest debug macros have been removed. Use
gcry_md_debug instead.
* Removed deprecated control codes.
* Improved performance of most cipher algorithms as well as for the
SHA family of hash functions.
* Added support for the IDEA cipher algorithm.
* Added support for the Salsa20 and reduced Salsa20/12 stream ciphers.
* Added limited support for the GOST 28147-89 cipher algorithm.
* Added support for the GOST R 34.11-94 and R 34.11-2012 (Stribog)
hash algorithms.
* Added a random number generator to directly use the system's RNG.
Also added an interface to prefer the use of a specified RNG.
* Added support for the SCRYPT algorithm.
* Mitigated the Yarom/Falkner flush+reload side-channel attack on RSA
secret keys. See [CVE-2013-4242].
* Added support for Deterministic DSA as per RFC-6969.
* Added support for curve Ed25519.
* Added a scatter gather hash convenience function.
* Added several MPI amd SEXP helper functions.
* Added support for negative numbers to gcry_mpi_print,
gcry_mpi_aprint and gcry_mpi_scan.
* The algorithm ids GCRY_PK_ECDSA and GCRY_PK_ECDH are now
deprecated. Use GCRY_PK_ECC if you need an algorithm id.
* Changed gcry_pk_genkey for "ecc" to only include the curve name and
not the parameters. The flag "param" may be used to revert this.
