Hi!
The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt
version 1.7.5. This is a maintenace release.
Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks.
It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any
implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of
applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.7.5 (2016-12-15)
------------------------------------------------
* Bug fixes:
- Fix regression in mlock detection introduced with 1.7.4 [bug#2870].
Noteworthy changes in version 1.7.4 (2016-12-09)
------------------------------------------------
* Performance:
- More ARMv8/AArch32 improvements for AES, GCM, SHA-256, and SHA-1.
- Add ARMv8/AArch32 assembly implementation for Twofish and
Camellia.
- Add bulk processing implementation for ARMv8/AArch32.
- Add Stribog OIDs.
- Improve the DRBG performance and sync the code with the Linux
version.
* Internal changes:
- When secure memory is requested by the MPI functions or by
gcry_xmalloc_secure, they do not anymore lead to a fatal error if
the secure memory pool is used up. Instead new pools are
allocated as needed. These new pools are not protected against
being swapped out (mlock can't be used). However, these days
this is considered a minor issue and can easily be mitigated by
using encrypted swap space.
* Bug fixes:
- Fix GOST 28147 CryptoPro-B S-box.
- Fix error code handling of mlock calls.
Download
========
Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed
at https://gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html . On the primary server
the source tarball and its digital signature are:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2 (2816k)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2.sig
That file is bzip2 compressed. A gzip compressed version is here:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.gz (3365k)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.gz.sig
The same files are also available via HTTP:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2.sig
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.gz
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.gz.sig
In order to check that the version of Libgcrypt you downloaded is an
original and unmodified file please follow the instructions found at
<https://gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html>. In short, you may
use one of the following methods:
- Check the supplied OpenPGP signature. For example to check the
signature of the file libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2 you would use this
command:
gpg --verify libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2.sig libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2
This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that
this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.
- If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do
this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the
file libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the first line from the
this list:
fa485d854748fc06ea041b3057b2de2f12fbc17f libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.bz2
9dc6171c0d6b46a7bc38e4af65091044633dc59a libgcrypt-1.7.5.tar.gz
You should also verify that the checksums above are authentic by
matching them with copies of this announcement. Those copies can be
found at other mailing lists, web sites, and search engines.

Support
=======
For help on developing with Libgcrypt you should read the included
manual and optional ask on the gcrypt-devel mailing list [1]. A
listing with commercial support offers for Libgcrypt and related
software is available at the GnuPG web site [2].

project, please do not hesitate to bring it to the gcrypt-devel
mailing list for discussion.
Maintenance and development of Libgcrypt is mostly financed by
donations; see <https://gnupg.org/donate/>. We currently employ
3 full-time developers, one part-timer, and one contractor to work on
GnuPG and closely related software like Libgcrypt.
Thanks

We like to thank all the people who helped with this release, be it
testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the
servers, spreading the word, and answering questions on the mailing
lists. Also many thanks to all our donors [3].
